Dr. Monica Arias is a board-certified psychiatrist who brings warmth, empathy, and expertise to every patient interaction. Fluent in both English and Spanish, she is passionate about providing inclusive, culturally sensitive care to individuals from all walks of life. Her ability to connect deeply with Spanish-speaking patients ensures that language is never a barrier to receiving the mental health support they deserve.
Dr. Arias earned her medical degree from the Universidad Central del Caribe and completed her psychiatry residency at the University of Central Florida/HCA Healthcare Consortium, where she was honored to serve as chief resident. In this leadership role, she guided clinical teams, mentored medical trainees, and helped coordinate patient-centered care—experiences that continue to shape her thoughtful, structured approach to treatment.
Her professional background includes experience in hospital settings, outpatient clinics, and private practice, giving her a broad and nuanced understanding of psychiatric care. She takes a comprehensive, individualized approach, blending evidence-based medication management with psychotherapy techniques tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Patients appreciate her calm, supportive presence and her commitment to making them feel heard, safe, and empowered.
One of Dr. Arias’s core passions is lifestyle psychiatry. She believes that mental health is deeply influenced by everyday habits, and she works closely with her patients to improve areas like sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and stress resilience. By integrating these lifestyle strategies into her care model, she helps individuals build long-term wellness and a greater sense of balance in their lives.
Dr. Arias practices at Inlight Psychiatry & Therapy in Orlando, Florida, where she offers both in-person and telehealth appointments to ensure care is accessible and convenient. Whether working with someone facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or stress-related concerns, she is committed to walking alongside her patients with compassion and clarity.
Outside of work, Dr. Arias enjoys traveling, baking, and spending quality time with her family and friends. She believes in living a balanced life and encourages her patients to do the same—fostering not just symptom relief, but a more fulfilling, joyful everyday experience.
