Therapists in Florida

I'm so excited you're here! I'm a counselor and advocate with over 20 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. I bring extensive knowledge and compassion to my practice. I've worked in foster and adoptive case management, served military families, and helped couples, individuals, and families navigate life's challenges. I also have over 10 years of experience in private practice. I specialize in treating depression, attention deficit disorders, anxiety, adjustment disorders, stress, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I also have expertise in working with foster and adoptive families and military families.

Life presents a series of unique challenges and transitions that shape our experiences and personal growth. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my role is to provide a supportive and clinically informed environment where you can explore these challenges and develop strategies tailored to your needs. Together, we will work to strengthen relationships, build emotional resilience, and foster a deeper connection to your authentic self. This is an opportunity to transform challenges into growth and to recognize and cultivate the strengths within you. I am committed to working collaboratively with you to promote clarity, confidence, and lasting fulfillment.

Hello, I'm Jess For more than 14 years, I have helped people learn to manage the worlds they live in. As all of us, I have many roles and identities as well. I am not just a therapist, I am also a wife, mother, former military spouse, sister, Disney adult, and so much more. I love to work with others by getting to know them as a whole person, understanding the systems they live in, and how they interact with the world. Together, we can discover and explore the challenges you are experiencing and work to get you back on track. I will work with you to understand your areas of need and help identify your strengths and how to best use them in your life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I moved to Florida from Nashville but have roots in Mississippi and Virginia. I graduated from the University of Phoenix in April of 2014 with a Bachelors of Science in Health Administration. I used that degree to enroll at Capella University where I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in March of 2021. My passion for counseling started when I was very young. In my teenage years I participated in groups that worked to prevent teen suicide. This interest eventually worked its way into my adult life as a career in the mental health field. My first position after graduating with my Masters was assisting individuals whose substance abuse lead to involvement in the criminal justice system. Building on that, I also have experience with Veterans' issues, grief and loss, eating disorders, LGBTQ+, relationships, depression, anxiety, social fears and many other mental health diagnoses. I don’t believe that there is a one size fits all approach to an individual’s mental health. I use a wide range of techniques to best help my clients to achieve the goals they set forth during their time in treatment by developing strategies and coping skills to achieve optimal mental health.

Call me Ben! I've been in private practice for 5 years and the mental health field at-large for close to a decade. I'm a big advocate for mindfulness (and ACT) and how it can be used alongside and incorporated into the therapeutic relationship to make tremendous strides in addressing one's mental health. I live in Asheville, North Carolina with my wife and our two cats. I love to go hiking and kayaking, I own a record store where I also work, and love a good gaming session with my friends.

Hi, I'm Julia, and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and women who are navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, and difficult life experiences. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by overthinking, people-pleasing, low self-confidence, or the pressure of trying to meet other's expectations while neglecting their own needs. I help those who are struggling during life transitions, build confidence, and develop a stronger sense of self. I also work with women who find themselves caught in patterns of people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling responsible for other's emotions. Together, we work to create healthier relationships, increase self-worth, and build a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. For teens experiencing anxiety, depression, identity concerns, or social struggles, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where they can explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and build confidence. I'm trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Whether you're carrying effects of childhood trauma, painful relationships, or difficult life events, EMDR can help reduce the emotional impact of those experiences and support healing. I work with individuals who experience communication difficulties, conflict, trust issues, or relationship stress. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves and others while developing healthier ways of communicating and connecting. My approach is warm, collaborative, and person-centered. I integrate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches to meet your unique needs and goals. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I look forward to supporting you on through healing, self-discovery, and meaningful change.

I am a therapist dedicated to a deeply collaborative healing journey. My practice is built on creating a genuine connection where authenticity and curiosity are our guides. Together, we work to uncover insightful perspectives and practical strategies, empowering you to approach life's challenges and opportunities in ways that deeply resonate with your personal values and aspirations for a more fulfilling future.

I received my graduate clinical degree, M.S. in family therapy from Nova Southeastern University in 2014 and previous to this I received my undergraduate degree, B.S. in sociology with minors in psychology and child development in 2011 from Florida State University. I have been in the mental health field since 2012. I received her Masters degree in Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. I have worked with adults, adolescents, children, and their families in both the Miami-Dade and Broward County School settings as well as adults and adolescents throughout the state of Florida in home, clinic and telehealth settings. I am passionate about a healthy family system being at the utmost importance to allow an individual to live a fulfilled and well balanced lifestyle. My psychotherapy educational background, along with my concentration in both CBT and Solutions-Focused therapies assist me in my systemic approach to treatment both in the individual's heart and his or her mind as well as all of the physical environments the individual takes part in daily (work, school, home, social).

To others it may seem like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're spinning out of control. Panic randomly punches you in the chest, taking your breath away, and you can't focus on anything else other than how to make it stop. You are consumed by trying to keep up with everyone else since they seem to have it all together, but you can barely function through the day. You feel like an awful mom because you are lashing out on your kids and hating the daily monotony instead of "embracing the joy of motherhood." You feel like you are failing your partner because somewhere along this journey you just lost yourself. You want to be a better mom to your kids. And remember why you fell in love with your partner. And stop the tornado of anxiety that knocks you out on the regular. You want to stop living by the expectations of others and rediscover who you truly are. It's time to win back some peace of mind and self-worth and attract the life you want. I have the DBT and mindfulness skills, which uses both mind and body exercises that will help you manage the crippling anxiety, love yourself better, be a more present and joyful mom, improve your relationships, and attract the life you want.

Hello and welcome. I’m a bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s most difficult moments.

I’m Crystal Scott, a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, honest, practical, and deeply human. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who may be navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, low self-esteem, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or the feeling of being stuck in patterns they no longer want to repeat. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to the unique needs of each client. I combine evidence-based techniques with genuine conversation, reflection, encouragement, humor when appropriate, and practical tools that can be used in everyday life. I strive to create a space where you can feel seen, heard, respected, and safe enough to be honest about what is really going on. At the same time, I will gently challenge you to recognize patterns, strengthen boundaries, build confidence, improve communication, and make choices that better reflect the life you want to create. I understand that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you are used to carrying everything on your own, being the strong one, or putting everyone else’s needs before your own. You do not have to arrive with the perfect words or a clear plan. We can slow things down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and identify realistic steps forward together. My ideal client is someone who is ready for support, insight, and meaningful change, even if they are unsure where to begin. Whether you are healing from a painful experience, adjusting to a major change, rebuilding trust, managing difficult emotions, or learning to reconnect with yourself, I will meet you with empathy, patience, authenticity, and respect. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and confident in your ability to move forward.

My name is Irisdomar Santiago and I'm a bilingual (Spanish/ English) Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. My experience as an Outpatient Therapist in the community mental health provided me with the opportunity to work with diverse populations and mental health conditions.

I am an LMHC therapist, public speaker, community organizer, social and environmental activist, and have been listening for decades. My Master of Clinical Psychotherapy, 2013 came from the University of North Florida. I experienced a Clinical Pastoral Education, in deep listening. I worked in the Talk program at Wounded the warriors talked; I listened. Trauma Supportive Therapy is used to safely address, as slowly as need be, the pain of the past that keeps coming to trip your defenses in the present at all the wrong moments. I can be that supporting presence who will help sort it out by listening, sincerely hearing you, reflecting the depth of your feelings back to you. I practice the therapy of defining personal meaning, so, together we will think about your options, planning, purpose, and goals for living a meaningful life without being afraid of tripping over your past or yourself. I practice person centered therapy by meeting you where you are. I strive to be culturally sensitive, non-prejudicial and use strength-based therapy as a jump point, truly believing I am the guide for you, but you are the treasures and wisdom keeper. Of all the reasons people come to therapy: anger, guilt, anxiety, changes, transitions, depression, trauma, jealousy, and “it is just not working anymore”, the extra burden of race and racism is more than just a nuance to be nodded at in therapy. I will view race as central to all the other pieces, when it is central to you. I am inclusive, secular, competent, affirming, and non-judgmental. I have worked with people in transition, people who are very much defined, “but things got complicated”, people in the communities of LGBTQA, Polyamory, Kink, non-gendered. Each are safe and welcome here.

You may be the person everyone else depends on. You're capable, responsible, and high-functioning. From the outside, it may seem like you're managing everything well—but internally, you're overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, constantly overthinking, or wondering why life feels so much harder than it "should." Many of my clients are women who have spent years taking care of everyone else while slowly losing connection with themselves. They may be balancing demanding careers, motherhood, caregiving, relationships, or major life transitions while quietly carrying anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-doubt. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, stress, burnout, ADHD, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, depression, and chronic overwhelm. I also enjoy working with individuals adjusting to chronic illness, caregiver stress, and significant changes that affect their sense of identity. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe lasting change happens when we understand not only what we're experiencing, but why certain patterns developed in the first place. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, develop insight into those patterns, and build realistic strategies that help you create meaningful change outside of therapy—not just during our sessions. I know reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you're used to being the one others rely on. My goal is to provide a space where you don't have to have everything figured out—a place where you can feel understood, challenged when appropriate, and supported as you reconnect with yourself and build the life you truly want.

Hi, I'm Jennifer Gaither, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Qualified Supervisor in Florida. I'm passionate about helping you feel like yourself again , because life can get heavy, especially when you're navigating anxiety, major life transitions, or struggles with self-worth and self-confidence. My style is warm and laid-back, and I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real partnership, a genuine conversation rather than a clinical lecture. I meet you exactly where you are, at a pace that feels right for you, in a space that is completely free of judgment. Whether you're working through something specific or simply want to understand yourself better, I'm here for all of it. I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, adapting my style to fit your unique needs and goals, because what works for one person may not work for another. My goal is to help you move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling empowered, and to help you discover the strength and resilience you already have inside you.

My career started as a classroom teacher and school counselor. I currently have over 20 years of experience working with students and families. In addition to my school counseling career, I am a crisis clinician in a major hospital in the DFW metroplex and work in over 32 emergency rooms providing on-call patient care. We all face unexpected challenges which sometimes leave us feeling hopeless and powerless. I believe that we have the ability to make healthy and appropriate choices regardless of the circumstances in which we may find ourselves. My role as a therapist is to assist and support clients as they learn new ways of coping and adjusting to life’s challenges. Counseling will vary depending upon one’s personality, stage of life, strengths or particular concern. Getting started can feel overwhelming. You have no idea where to even begin. You’ve been putting off therapy because you’re afraid it won’t help. More than anything you’d like to be able to feel happy again. You’d like to be able to put yourself out there more and to create deeper, more meaningful relationships with others. You want to have the courage to be your authentic self without hiding behind a mask.

With over 20 years of experience as a mental health counselor, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding and expert guidance. My passion lies in working with adolescents and adults, particularly those aged 16 and older, who are dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions and adjustment difficulties. Throughout my career, I've seen firsthand how overwhelming life can feel at times. My goal is to provide a safe, non- judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, discover your strengths, and develop the tools you need to overcome obstacles. I believe in the power of therapy to transform lives, helping people move from a place of uncertainty or distress to one of resilience, clarity, and self- empowerment.

With over 17 years of experience in social services and 7 years as a practicing therapist, I have developed a deep appreciation for the power of connection, the courage of my clients, and the transformative nature of safe, consistent therapeutic work. My motivation to work in mental health stems from witnessing, time and again, the profound change that occurs when individuals are truly seen, heard, and supported in a space where they feel emotionally safe.

I am Licensed Mental Health Therapist for the State of Florida with over 12 years of extensive experience of counseling individuals from all diverse backgrounds.

My philosophy in therapy is Life has many waves and therapy allows the clinician and the individual to find balance in the midst of life's ups and downs. An individual is most likely to achieve positive outcomes in therapy when a trusting, collaborative relationship exists between the therapist and client, accompanied by high-quality therapeutic interventions tailored to the individual's unique needs.

I use EMDR Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to support emotional regulation, trauma processing, and lasting growth. My goal is to help every client see how important and valuable they truly are!

Psychology has always been my passion and I truly love working in the field to provide a warm environment for my clients to grow. I am a licensed mental health clinician (LMHC) with 8+ years of experience providing therapeutic services to children, adolescents and adults. I have found that I most enjoy providing therapeutic services to adolescents and adults and am knowledgeable in a variety of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, conduct disorders, substance abuse and difficulty adjusting to life changes. Over the past few years, I have found that I have gained a great deal of personal and professional experience with woman suffering from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This is a very underserved population and I hope to help change that one client at a time. Other underserved populations I have extensive experience with are adult children of alcoholics and those suffering from religious trauma syndrome.

Starting therapy can be intimidating and I am here to assist you taking that step. If you're navigating anxiety, burnout, or unresolved pain, I offer grounded, body-aware therapy rooted in nervous system healing, EMDR, somatic tools, and deep listening. My approach is relational, steady, and tailored to your lived experience. You won’t get surface-level strategies you’ll get a space to finally exhale. Clients choose me when they want real change, at a pace that honors their story. Together, we’ll build emotional clarity, stability, and a deeper connection to who you truly are.
