991 therapists in Florida matching your needs

Hi my name is Amy, and I first want to acknowledge how difficult and scary it feels to begin the process of therapy, either for the first time or starting with a new therapist. I take very seriously the enormous strength that takes and I work very hard to ensure that you feel safe and heard as we begin the therapeutic relationship. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience providing counseling in both inpatient and outpatient centers. I received my Master’s degree in counseling in 2008, from Webster University. I had the privilege of working in an inpatient eating disorder facility for five years and have continued that work in outpatient settings. I have a passion for connecting with teenagers and building a safe place with an adult where they can voice their feelings and experiences without fear of judgement. I also especially enjoy working with young adult women as they navigate their way through the process of beginning adulthood. I have experience with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and general women’s issue. I am especially passionate about working with CPTSD and PTSD. I have received training and supervision in working with trauma as it is a highly specialized field. Trauma survivors need validation, belief, compassion and acceptance first and foremost before a trusting relationship can be established. I have working with women exiting a toxic relationship, having endured narcissistic abuse and/or infidelity (betrayal trauma) which is many times misunderstood by well-intentioned people. My approach is warm, compassionate and highly empathetic as I work to establish a safe environment for healing to take place.

My name is Michelle Mercado and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have obtained my Master's degree in Social Work at Florida International University. I realize that no two people are the same and as such, I tailor my therapy to meet the specific needs of my clients. My practice specializes in treating: Depression Life transitions Self-esteem Stress Anxiety Peer relations School issues Autism spectrum ADHD Substance abuse LGBTQ+ Behavioral issues Anger Management Mood disorders Bipolar disorder

As a Therapist with over 20 years' experience, I work with children, adolescents, families, couples and individuals to strengthen relationships and overall functioning. My approach to counseling is that we all have a need to be connected; to our spouse, friend, parents and children. Many things can disrupt our emotional connections and our goal together, is to repair and strengthen that connection to promote healthy relationships. My therapeutic modalities are eclectic given the particular situation. I am trained in Cognitive Behavior and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Family Systems Therapy with a strength based, client centered approach. The warmth, attunement and understanding I have for my clients, helps me to create a connection of trust and respect within the therapeutic environment.

I have an extensive history of working with high-risk infants and young children and detained adolescents and young adults who present with trauma in addition to co-occurring disorders and a significant number of economic barriers. I believe parenting and family healing are vital to successful outcomes when working with young children and adolescents. I have always worked in child welfare, so becoming a licensed mental health counselor was an easy transition. I have worked for several agencies, including the Department of Children and Families as well as other agencies aimed at child advocacy, child resilience, and child social-emotional protection. I am trained in infant mental health and nurturing parenting, and I am rostered in Florida to provide child-parent psychotherapy. I have years of experience working with parents to help them with bonding and attachment as well as helping their children achieve developmental milestones. I am most excited that communities of color as well as the LGBTQ+ population are finally being heard and research is finally being directed toward a clearer understanding of how race and systemic systems have impacted the mental health of the marginalized.

Are you experiencing stress, worry, racing thoughts, impaired sleep, feeling on edge, heart racing, nightmares, or/and flashbacks? Do you replay moments in your head and feel hopeless? Maybe you’re feeling like you are not quite yourself— like you aren’t living your healthiest, happiest and most well functioning life. My specialty is helping clients uncover the root of their problems and then empower them with the skills necessary to regain a healthier sense of control in those areas. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. My primary focus is on helping individuals find balance and peace after experiencing trauma, navigating through life transitions, unhealthy relationships, or loss and grief. I can work with you to develop healthy coping skills and gain insight. I love to help others feel at peace and whole again. If there is one thing that I would like for you to know is that the most crucial part of therapy is to find a therapist that you trust. My priority is to create a genuine connection with my clients by creating a safe and non-judgmental space for them.

Please note that any self scheduled session is not guaranteed due to technical issues, thank you ! My goal is to help you find peace and a sense of balance in your life. My specialties include the treatment of mood disorders, anger, women's issues, anxiety and depression for adults and teens. At the first session, you can expect a non-judgemental and an easy-going conversation to build a therapeutic alliance.

I am proud to say that I give my clients excellent personal attention and customer service. I am easy to contact and flexible so that you can get the treatment you need without the hassles.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida as well as an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. I specialize in working with people who feel overworked for other people in their life while feeling underappreciated and left alone, feeling confused about who they are and what it is that they need to gain a sense of control back in their life. I became a psychotherapist because I experienced the need to have someone who can show me what I could not see because of their genuine interest in my well-being and my potential. Together we will find the root of your behavioral/emotional difficulties from scientific, psychological, and spiritual perspectives, and you will uncover resources to overcome the difficulties that can only be found in you. Eventually, striving for wholeness will be the life journey that you will gladly take on outside of a therapy session.

Since childhood, I knew I’d work in the field of psychology. I was initially drawn to theater and film; in college, I realized my love for acting was more of a love for character development than it was a love for performing. I enjoy learning about people, which, in counseling, leads to guiding people to learn about themselves. I am a listener and observer who strives to make sure the people in my care feel supported and validated. I’ve spent my career as a clinical director and executive director of a nonprofit mental health agency while counseling in a private practice setting. My counseling experience is in addictions, anxiety, depression, stress management, grief, and personal development. I’ve found a niche in working with people experiencing life transitions, including graduation, career change, retirement, marriage, a new baby, an empty nest, illness or injury, divorce, and grief.

Hello and welcome! The journey forward begins with you, and you have made that first step to begin this endeavor. It is my hope that I can come along side you and help you navigate your journey by facing and overcoming challenges of the past and present that have been inhibiting you from reaching your fullest potential and becoming the best version of yourself. My name is Lesley Eckhardt, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Florida with 25+ years of experience in crisis, trauma, and attachment, as well as depression, anxiety, PTSD and ADHD, working with children, teens, adults, and the elderly, as well as multi-generational family systems. As a clinician, I utilize a client-centered approach within a systems framework, allowing for personal and interpersonal insights and developing healthy cognitive and behavioral responses that will lead to personal growth. It is my desire to provide you the compassion and acceptance that is needed to break the ties that are keeping you from moving forward. I have worked in the fields of crisis counseling, school-based counseling, therapeutic foster care, parenting, and adoptions particularly related to attachment theory. I have also provided homeschool, academic, and career counseling and life coaching.

If you are struggling with issues related to anxiety and depression, you are not alone. In today’s world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the daily rigors and uncertainties of life. Thoughts like “am I good enough?” or “can I do this?” typically bring to the surface feelings of sadness, self-doubt and inadequacy. Then, you retreat and live within a dark cloud that could color your experience for years. I teach people strategies to manage themselves so that life doesn't seem so debilitating. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work together with my patients to identify and change the negative self-talk so that they can face their fears and expand their comfort zone. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment to medical conditions and other health issues, college aged students, stress management, adjustment issues related to transitions in life, and aging and geriatric issues.

My clients were from a variety of ages and backgrounds; some were struggling with challenges and some were just looking to make a positive change in their lives. The individuals with whom I worked have found me to be empathetic, non-judgmental, and direct. I am task-oriented and take a practical, no-nonsense approach to tackling life's challenges. Clients respond well to my positive attitude, knowledge, and humor, and it would be my honor to share that with you. Congratulations on taking the first step towards a more fulfilling life. I understand it can be difficult to ask for help and begin to take steps toward change. My role is to guide and support you in building the skills and confidence necessary to live your best life.

Welcome! I'm Laura Stevens Are you feeling like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Are you feeling like your thoughts are running constantly and that you can't catch a break? Do you feel alone or like your relationships are struggling? I help people identify how they're feeling physically and emotionally by meeting them where they are, offering safety, support, and encouragement, so that together we can create new and renewed ways of living.

I am licensed in Florida with 4 years of professional work experience. I have been in the mental health field in multiple capacities of service for over 20 years of combined experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client is of the most importance. I am here to support you in that process.

I am experienced in working with domestic violence survivors and complex trauma as well as elementary-aged, pre-adolescent, and adolescents with various presenting issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and adjustment disorders. My approach to therapy is client centered meaning that each individual, whether an adult or child, has full autonomy to make choices that either work for or against them.

I have been working in the mental health field since 2014. I earned my Bachelors in Psychology from Texas A&M University- Commerce and my Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I think that we need to be the safest when we are able to be with ourselves. I have also found that life has the ability to make that hard at times and through my own journey of struggling and learning about my mental health, I learned a lot about being human. I don't believe that we are born resilient, I believe it is built into us through getting knocked down and learning different ways of getting back up. This isn’t always fun but it's always worth it. A journey toward change needs to be deliberate, I believe by humanizing ourselves we are better able to accomplish this. I have worked with individuals, families, and couples for many years and believe that we all behave in harmony with the system, however chaotic it is. I believe that in order to change it is important to first gain insight into the problem, second awareness, and lately compassion in order to allow for a change, as nothing grows when it is poisoned. I believe that learning to love ourselves is our greatest task but becomes our greatest treasure once we understand the task. I have learned that for many of my clients, their adolescent years were the most impactful in terms of their outlook on themselves and their sense of self, purpose, shame. I believe that this is an area that is very important to focus on; as our shame is the dialogue that we have with ourselves. My goal is to help individuals gain a better sense of purpose and understanding within themselves, while showing compassion to their humanness. I believe that the only way to truly grow is to learn more about what makes each person uniquely them and use that as a catalyst for growth and change. I am all about empowering my clients to learn who they are, so they can better love themselves, and be better able to obtain and maintain a happier and healthier life.
