Empower Coaching and Counseling LLC "I'm Cindy Milas, Owner of Empower Coaching and Counseling. Thankfully, that simple decision was a GAME CHANGER! This page is not intended as a crisis service.

Cindy Milas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Coach, and Florida Qualified Supervisor who specializes in empowering women to achieve greater success, fulfillment, resilience, and balance. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Board Certified Coach, I know how challenging it can be for successful, professional women to find happiness and balance while maximizing their potential. After several years of practice in a stressful career, tolerating toxic relationships and workplaces, and not prioritizing my own wellness, I found myself feeling exhausted, burned out, and "stuck." It took being diagnosed with a painful autoimmune disease for me to realize that if I was going to have the kind of life I'd always wanted, I had to take charge of my own happiness. I purposefully began to recraft my life with my own wellness at the center. Now, I've moved beyond simply surviving to THRIVING! I founded Empower Coaching and Counseling because I believe every woman has the ability to transform her life-just like I did. I'm committed to empowering women to achieve greater success, happiness, fulfillment, and balance in their lives through affordable, laser-focused life coaching and counseling." Cindy brings 30 years of providing mental health counseling and intensive training in laser-focused coaching to her practice. She has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Gerontology, and has been a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 1999. Cindy completed the ICF accredited Laser-Focused Coaching Intensive training under Marion Franklin, internationally renowned Master Certified Coach, speaker, and author of "The HeART of Laser-Focused Coaching" and became a Board Certified Coach in 2020. Cindy also provides mental health counseling services online through Better Help and Talkspace and is an active member of the Suncoast Mental Health Counseling Association.*

A big misconception about coaching is that you need to work with someone who has been in your industry or climbed the same ladder you're on. 🪜

We're here to tell you, that's not the case.

The best coach for you will ask the questions that make you go, "I've never thought of it that way." They help you connect dots you didn't even know existed.

Sometimes the most powerful perspective comes from someone who's NOT stuck in your industry's "that's just how we do things" mindset.

Remember that a coach's job isn't to have all the answers. It's to help you find them. And that's a skill that transcends industries. 💫

"That's the thing-self-abandonment is rarely a dramatic exit.
It’s a series of tiny goodbyes.
A silence here.
A smile when something hurts.
A skipped conversation because you’re tired of feeling like too much."

Please remember-real love makes you feel seen, heard, and supported-not small.

There was a time in my life when I thought love meant softness at any cost.
Soft words. Soft footsteps. Soft boundaries.

I remember standing in the kitchen of a home I shared with someone I loved deeply. The teakettle was hissing. My hand rested on the counter. And I could feel it that moment when a part of me was slipping beneath the surface.

I had quieted a truth for the fifth time that week. I had said yes when my body wanted to say no.

I thought I was choosing connection.
But really, I was choosing disappearance.

It didn’t happen all at once.
That’s the thing, self-abandonment is rarely a dramatic exit.
It’s a series of tiny goodbyes.
A silence here.
A smile when something hurts.
A skipped conversation because you’re tired of feeling like too much.

And yet… my longing was never to become smaller in love.
It was to be met fully. To speak without trembling.
To rest in a partnership where I didn’t have to vanish in order to be cherished.

It took me years to realize that true intimacy does not require us to shrink.
That being loving and being loyal to our truth are not at odds.

These days, I move slower. I listen to the inner tremble. I say what is true even if my voice is shaking.

And if love cannot hold that it is not the love I choose anymore.
Not because I am hard.
But because I have finally remembered how to be whole.

Sometimes we get so caught up looking for answers everywhere else that we forget to look within.

This is why we believe in the power of coaching. We're not here to fix anyone or provide all the solutions.

We're here to help people remember their own strength, wisdom, and capability.

When has coaching helped you uncover something within yourself?

About Me

Hi, I’m Cindy Milas, LMHC, Life Coach, and Founder of HealthPro Coaching. As a healthcare professional with over 30 years of experience working in patient homes, hospitals, psychiatric treatment centers, hospices, and nursing homes, I know how challenging it can be for professional women to find happiness, fulfillment, and work/life balance while working in a troubled healthcare system.

I loved my career as a psychotherapist but over time, working stressful jobs in often toxic workplaces while trying to balance other life stressors and autoimmune disease, took a toll on my happiness and wellness. The demands of profession weren’t going to change, so I knew if I was going to regain my health and be the kind of person and professional I wanted to be, I had to take RESPONSIBILTY for my own wellness. That single decision, and the COMMITMENT that followed to purposefully REDESIGN my life, were GAME CHANGERS for me! Now, not only am I happier and healthier, I’ve moved beyond simply “surviving” to THRIVING at work and at home.

That’s why I founded HealthPro Coaching. Through providing affordable, accessible, telephonic life coaching, I’m committed to helping other healthcare practitioners and professional women obtain the insights, skills, and support they need to bounce back from burnout, maximize their potential, and achieve greater success, balance, fulfillment, and resilience in EVERY aspect of their lives.
