Shantala has been like a best friend to me. She gives me guidance and direction, allows me to see clearly when I can't do so myself, provides comfort and reassurance when needed, and helps me figure out how to get through tough times by giving me positive ways to focus on moving forward. I started therapy sessions with her for one issue, but then, my life took a turn and I suffered the worst loss of my life. If it wasn't for Shantala, I wouldn't have been able to get through that loss. She continues to help me get through it by going above and beyond, more than any therapist I have ever been to. She genuinely cares about her patients, with the most amazing compassion & empathy. I have been to others who never gave that vibe & energy, so I appreciate that I have found her! She is a rare gem! She is friendly, warm, kind, caring, down to earth, & makes me feel comforted and grounded after every visit. She also has loving, sweet, and adorable furry friends who join our sessions, which warms my soul, eases my pain, and makes it even more comforting and rewarding!The administration side of things is also smooth and easy to do! I can go online and schedule my appointments at my convenience, which makes my hectic life even easier. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of support. She is one of a kind and I am LUCKY to have found her! ❤

Shantala is amazing! She is practical, sensible, insightful and very warm and supportive. I love watching her on Fox News as she has so many great topics that she covers!! The FIT program that she runs at the D1 facility is such an awesome concept and is very valuable for many women! If you have not tried it yet, I recommend it!

Shantala is very compassionate and easy to talk to. She listens with care and gives insightful, solid sound advice. She is very professional and has a warm and inviting office which caters to many. I can tell she truly enjoys what she does and after talking with Shantala I leave feeling confident in myself and at peace because she is very encouraging and uplifting and gives useful tools.

Shantala is very knowledgeable and caring for her clients. She is able to adapt and offer helpful information regardless of the subject she is speaking to. Shantala came highly recommended and I would recommend her again to anyone!

I am a client of Shantala's. Since the beginning it has felt like a safe and comfortable environment for me to work out some issues. Getting back on track and navigating life is hard and talking about it with someone who is honest, caring and unbiased makes it better. I would totally recommend Shantala to anyone I know she handles kids all the way to adults. She has great techniques that really helped me and continue to help me. I am grateful to have found her.

I am writing this after 1 year seeing Shantala as she helped me with a very rough time transitioning to adult life after college. Like many of you, I thought I couldn’t be helped but Shantala’s ability listen and steer your mindset to being more self-aware and loving of yourself was best investment for me in 2019.

Shantala is an amazing person, who cares a lot about me , she always keep in touch with texting . I strongly recommend her.

Shantala is an extremely kind and intelligent woman. She is often used as an expert on multiple local news stations in the Orlando market. That is because producers know she is well spoken and is able to answer any questions concerning her field of work. She has been doing it long enough, that she even pitches great segment ideas of her own.

So honest and down to earth! Easy to talk to and wise beyond her years !

Shantala is awesome. She’s very caring and listens. I have been seeing her for a year with my fiancé and she has truly helped our communication. She’s available at later times during the evening which helps us during our work schedules. We truly appreciate her and everything she has done for us.

Shantala has a very warming personality, and demonstrates great emotional support. She has been with me through some of the darkest times of my life, and has worked with me patiently to help achieve my goals and move forward from the past. I love her and couldn't think of a better person to listen to me talk about life's craziness with!

Shantala is genuine, kind and compassionate. She is a staunch proponent of making education available to the general public about mental health which is lacking in most if not all our institutions. She traveled with me on a mission to Haiti 🇭🇹 twice after the earthquake of 2010 which wiped out over 200,000 people and left twice as many dead. She is someone I am honored to call my friend!

Shantala is amazing! Both of my daughters attended her FIT for girls summer camp and loved every minute of it! She provides a safe environment for the girls to grow their physical, social and emotional wellness, all while having fun. She truly is kind and genuine. I highly recommend Shantala and her FIT program!

Mrs. Boss is the best! I’ve been seeing her for a couple months now and she’s really helped me turn somethings in my life around. She super sweet and caring and I’m so glad I was able to find her.

My daughter started seeing Ms. Boss about 8 months ago. My daughter absolutely adores her! Ms. Boss is very knowledgeable, easy to trust, and incredibly sweet. My daughter participated in FIT for girls camp and loved every minute of it. I have a hard time getting her off her device and this was a great opportunity for her to socialize and grow as a young lady. She loved it! It’s so important for young girls to develop healthy self esteem! I’m so happy we found Ms. Boss!

My daughter attended the FIT for girls and loved it! The attention to physical fitness and the connection to mental well being is very important and Shantala gave them an environment to be themselves and enjoy both. Shantala has a connection and great calming way with my daughter and I’m very happy we found her. Looking forward to continued growth and learning.

From the beginning, my sessions with Shantala have been extremely helpful. She listens and validates but also helps me to see situations from a different perspective and better understand my own patterns of behavior. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I’ve been going to Shantala for a year now and it’s been positively life changing. She’s kind, compassionate, encouraging, nonjudgmental, supportive, and just all around an incredible person. Like Shantala, her office is a warm and inviting place, providing a safe haven to those in need. Our sessions feel more like two friends getting together to talk. Her empathy and patience are truly an asset and a testament to the person she is. She genuinely listens and she has provided me with the guidance I needed to heal. She’s had such a positive impact on my life. She continues to be an encouraging force as I continue on in my journey towards a better me. I can’t recommend her enough!

Both of my daughters have seen Shantala. I can see how this has helped my girls. We feel unfortunate to have found Shantala and highly recommend her!

Ms. Boss is the best! I've been treated by other therapists in the past and I can confidently say my experience with Shantala has been far superior. She creates a safe and comfortable environment that allows me to open up freely. She is friendly yet professional and I find myself looking forward to our meetings because I'm always learning something new about myself. In such a short amount of time I've felt a real, positive change in myself and I have our sessions to thank for that. Highly recommend!

Shantala has been great with our daughter and really provides a safe environment for her to express her feelings. She also goes the extra mile with her FIT Club for girls as well. During the pandemic it has been great to have Shantala to provide an outlet for our daughter. I highly recommend her.

My daughter has experienced anxiety, ocd, and mood swings since she was 4. We tried several therapists. None were able to help. Many of the specialists that focused on anxiety and ocd didn’t treat children as young as my daughter. I found Miss Boss when my daughter was 7. I was impressed with Miss Boss’s reviews. I liked that she was knowledgeable in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Play Therapy. I watched several of her videos on YouTube and she seemed experienced with anxiety and ocd. I liked that she understood the unique emotional needs of children. Setting an appointment was one of the best decisions we made. Miss Boss has always been kind and patient. My daughter loves spending time with her. They quickly developed a relationship of trust. Miss Boss has given us many tools to help when my daughter was having big emotions. Miss Boss made herself available after hours by phone, video, and text for several family emergencies when my daughter was having emotions that I didn’t know how to react to. Parenting an anxious child has been hard. My friends and family have not understood our challenges. Miss Boss has helped me realize that I am not alone in these struggles. She helped both of us realize that our emotions are real, valid, and totally normal. I’m glad to have Miss Boss on my support team. It has made our family healthier, happier, and more equipped to deal with life.

If you are searching the comments section on Shantala Boss, it is because you are seeking endorsements of her skills as a licensed mental health counselor and play therapist. Moreover, you are probably meticulously examining critiques because you are in desperate need of finding the most fitting person to counsel you or your child, and to provide much needed guidance and support during an especially tumultuous time. Shantala embodies the highest standard of care in her field and surpasses expectations; she is not limited to a ‘one treatment-approach’, she demonstrates proficiency in multiple methods of therapy. As an educator of over 20 years, it is evident that her aptitude for relating to adolescents far exceeds that of most counselors. Following a long stint of sessions with more than a few tactless counselors, my son met Shantala and the connection was instantaneous; she had true compassion and concern for him--he instantly sensed that (letting me know as soon as the session concluded). The impression Shantala made on both of us was remarkable, her awareness of his condition, combined with her expertise in behavioral analysis, allowed him to work through his anxieties and begin to thrive on a day-to-day basis. There are not sufficient words to express how much Shantala contributed to the betterment of my son’s condition, she assisted in mending a teenage boy who felt broken and distressed. Some people do not believe in angels, I do.

As a health care professional, I am often asked who I refer to for counseling. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Shantala. She has worked "magic" for our family.

Shantala Boss and her therapists who helped with FIT are amazing individuals. My 7-year old daughter who is usually apprehensive about everything, felt right at home during FIT! This program has allowed her to come out of her shell and she is looking forward to attending again! We love Shantala Boss!

My daughter briefly saw a couple of therapists that just weren’t a good fit before seeing Shantala Boss. Shantala has a true gift of connecting with her clients. My daughter has been seeing her for less than a year and is in a much better place emotionally. There was a noticeable difference after the first couple of sessions. It warms this mommy heart to watch her continue to grow in a positive direction. Shantala also offers a FIT camp that is amazing. She integrates physical health with emotional health in a fun environment. My daughter enjoyed the activities as well as the friendships she made during FIT camp. If you are looking for a counselor for your your child, I highly recommend you try Shantala.

Shantala Boss is a wonderful LMHC who genuinely cares for her clients. She is a great resource for me professionally, and invested in the mental health of children and family in our community. Thank you for all you do Shantala!

My daughter has been seeing Shantala Boss for a couple of years now. This summer, she tried the FIT program and loved it. She really seemed to click with the other girls and the group atmosphere is her favorite. Shantala has knowledgeable trainers working with the girls on the field to get them moving with fun activities and exercises. The group therapy activities focus on self esteem, confidence, friends and other concerns our girls are going thru these days. My daughter likes when they split into small age groups since the girls are going thru similar things and understand each other. I really recommend FIT and Shantala Boss, she is such a caring and lovable person. We look forward to future FIT sessions.

Before I even met Shantala I knew I would love her. Our shared clients spoke of her with utmost respect. She genuinely cares and is invested in all her clients. She sees things in different ways, communicates them in compassion that not only helps clients but helps me grow as a professional. She is a treasured peer in the field.

I could not recommend Shantala enough. She has helped my teenage daughter immensely over the past year. Shantala is compassionate, intelligent and always keeps an open mind. My daughter feels safe and comfortable when she goes in for her sessions and as her father, I always know she is in the best hands possible. We have tried a few other therapists before Shantala and non of them have compared to the level of care that she has provided and I could not thank her enough for that.

Shantala is wonderful! She has helped me and my family members over the years! She is compassionate and really cares for and invests in her clients. Would highly recommend!

As a reporter, I work with Shantala to get insight into mental health concerns as well as to sometimes connect with clients to talk with them about certain mental health topics. She is always so helpful and knowledgable, and it's clear she is so very dedicated to her profession and what is best for her clients. She truly cares about them and their lives. She works tirelessly to make sure her clients are getting the mental health treatment they need so they can live a better life.
