Therapists in Florida

Hi, I'm Kimberly. I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida, and I earned my master’s degree at Florida International University. My clinical journey began in a residential treatment center specializing in eating disorders, where I had the privilege of working closely with individuals navigating various challenges related to disordered eating. This experience deeply shaped my approach and solidified my commitment to helping clients build healthier relationships with food and their bodies. Since then, I’ve expanded my practice to work with individuals facing a range of issues, including anxiety, trauma, and depression, while always remaining rooted in my passion for supporting those with eating disorders. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work with over 40 years of clinical experience in healthcare and provided clinical interventions targeted with patients who are interested in a journey of personal growth through therapeutic interventions to assist with healing and good mental health. I specialize in HIV/AIDS, LGBTQI concerns, oncology, HIV/AIDS, end of life and life transitions. I am licensed in Florida and Illinois.

Hello, I’m Jose and I am a Licensed Mental Health psychotherapist. As a therapist, I believe that a kind and supportive, client-focused approach is fundamental in helping navigate the many challenges that life can bring. I like to provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental, safe, and supportive space where we can explore and address the various thoughts, emotions and experiences that pose a challenge in everyday life. Life can bring about many challenges and at times, seeking professional support can help manage these challenges. I take pride in being able to meet my clients where they are as we explore what therapy have to offer. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting but I’m here to explore any obstacles you may face. My goal is to help you understand yourself more.

A Big Hello to you. You are scanning all these profiles. Looking for something to stand out to make you say,"I will go with this one." It is daunting but you have made it this far. Here is the tip. Your choice is not terminal. It is absolutely ok to try multiple therapists to see who gets you the best. Who understands you the best. After each session, you should feel lighter. You may not recall all that was said, but you will note how you feel. Did you feel heard? Understood? Did the therapist talk to me like they were reading a book or did it sound like they really got me? When you get the right one, those questions will be answered with a firm, Yes. ---->Part of individual therapy is talking about friends, partners and loved ones. My training and focus are centered only on heterosexual relationship dynamics. If you are looking for letters for work, ESA, Social Security, FMLA, Family Court, you will need a psychological evaluation by a forensic psychologist. I am not able to perform assessments, letters for claims or provide appearances in court.

I bring nearly a decade of experience in mental health and education and strive to offer an informed, supportive, and non-judgmental space in every session. I help individuals restore balance, manage emotional pain, grow into their full capacity, and move forward toward meaningful life goals and overall emotional well-being with compassionate, steady, and supportive guidance. We will work collaboratively to explore patterns, build resilience, strengthen self-awareness, and develop practical tools you can apply in daily life. My approach honors your unique story, cultural background, and personal values while fostering clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth. Together, we create a safe, respectful environment where healing unfolds at your pace and authentic change becomes possible for you always.

Greetings! I’m Sarah. I emphasize healing the mind and body by learning how to regulate the nervous system and build anchors to manage day-to-day stress and life’s unpredictable lows. I help clients to heal wounds, increase self-awareness, and find their joy. I am your co-pilot, and together we will utilize your strengths, build insight, and discover the amazing person that has been you all along.

Welcome, and thank you for taking this important first step. My name is Arany Orellana, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of Florida, Oregon, and Washington State, with 20 years of experience supporting adults facing mental health challenges. I am fluent in English and Spanish. I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood.

My name is Michael Starr, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I believe therapy is more than just problem-solving, it’s a place to rediscover who you are, heal what’s been hidden, and move forward with clarity and strength. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, identity questions, and emotional overwhelm. My style is honest, grounded, and deeply respectful of the human experience. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused CBT, but I also hold space for what cannot always be explained, your story, your meaning, your growth. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you there and build the insight, skills, and resilience to move through them. You won’t be rushed or judged. You’ll be heard, supported, and challenged when needed. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to start. Healing begins with one honest conversation, and I’m here to take that step with you.

Hello and thank you for checking out my profile and considering me in your current journey. My name is Jeff Moyer, licensed mental health therapist. I understand that therapy can be intimating and so I applaud you for taking this step in looking at options for support. My goal is to help change the perception of therapy and help clients see it as a positive way to support mental health, and just another way of developing one's health, just like with our physical health. I want to guide clients in developing positive changes in their life, so they feel better and healthier, emotionally. Therapy isn’t about changing who you are, it’s about finding possible alternatives to support change in the areas that may be causing problems in our life. Thank you again for looking into ways to be more emotionally healthy, and I am here to help if you decide you would like to get started.

Hello, I’m Chevalene Barnes—a woman of faith and a dedicated mental health professional. For over 26 years, I have been privileged to guide individuals toward freedom from limiting beliefs, empowering them to live confidently, boldly, and free from fear, anxiety, and self-doubt through the transformative power of God's Word. My Personal Journey Having faced my own share of personal traumas—experiencing insecurity, anger, depression, and feelings of inadequacy I understand what it’s like to feel trapped by doubts that challenge your sense of identity and purpose. At one point, I was held captive by these barriers, but through faith, perseverance, and God's Word, I was able to transform my life. My journey of overcoming personal challenges fuels my passion to help others do the same. My success story and healing process inspire my work—reaffirming that hope and restoration are always within reach.

Hello there, my name is Mariana, and I am here to help you reach your goals. Working in the Mental health, and substance use field for the past 14 years has taught me healing does not necessarily come from one path. Based on the positive outcomes and feedback with those I have treated, I use an integrative healthcare approach, I assess the whole person including body, mind, and spirit in the context of community, considering lifestyle and habits; I work by looking at the whole person, not just symptoms. This leads us to being able to identify and to work on the challenges experienced through a lifetime. I believe that wellbeing is a general state of "contentment" with life and the way things are. In this state of contentment, we experience a sense of balance and connection to a purpose. In my practice I explore with you the main areas of wellbeing and the blockages that have been impeding you to reach your best. I see therapy as a teamwork between you and me in where you share your own experiences and I provide my clinical expertise to implement an individualized plan that works for you. I can provide therapy in Spanish or English. I work mainly using tele therapy in the state of Florida. I am a psychologist in Colombia, South America, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I am also certified to work with trauma, and hold a certification to diagnose and treat personality disorders. I am also a qualified supervisor for graduate students seeking to obtain their master’s degree in mental health. If you still have other questions about therapy or want to know more about me and my professional approach, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Clinical Hypnotherapist, but more than that, I work with people who feel stuck in patterns they understand but still can’t seem to break. Maybe it shows up in relationships that feel familiar but painful, putting others first so you don’t lose them, or slipping back into old habits when emotions become overwhelming. You’re not broken. You are repeating a pattern that once kept you safe but now keeps you stuck. I help clients who look strong and “put together” on the outside, but internally feel disconnected, unseen, or like they’re always fighting themselves. You might know why you do what you do because you’ve read the books, tried therapy before, told yourself you’d choose differently, and yet something still pulls you back. My approach is real, honest, and compassionate. We won’t just talk about the surface problem. We’ll work with the deeper beliefs and emotional wiring underneath it. Together, we identify what keeps you abandoning yourself, and begin rebuilding from a place of self-trust, worthiness, and grounded clarity.

Thank you for considering me as your personal mental health therapist and emotions coach. Over the last few years, we have collectively endured traumatic, distressing, and challenging times that have reshaped how we view the world and how we choose to move forward within it. For many, this has meant clinging to familiar beliefs for comfort. For others, the weight of trauma, hopelessness, and fatigue has left them feeling stuck, unable to access their inner strengths or resilience. I believe that in those moments, we all need someone to help guide us back from the darkness into the light. I want to be that beacon of light for you. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with more than 15 years of counseling experience and over 20 years of serving families. My treatment philosophy is rooted in the belief that every individual has strengths that can be nurtured to foster healing and growth.

👋 Hi, I’m Don Patton, I’m a licensed mental health therapist specializing in substance use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and the patterns that keep people stuck despite wanting to change. My background is primarily in residential treatment, where I’ve worked closely with individuals in early recovery navigating high risk transitions, emotional instability, and repeated relapse cycles. That experience has shaped how I approach therapy. I’ve seen firsthand that insight alone is not enough. Many of the people I work with are intelligent, self-aware, and capable, but continue to struggle when it comes to applying that awareness in real-life situations. My work is focused on closing that gap. I tend to be direct, structured, and practical in session. I will challenge thinking patterns that are keeping you stuck; while also helping you build tools that are realistic and usable outside of therapy. At the same time, I understand that change requires trust, consistency, and a space where you can be honest without judgment. My goal is not just to help you understand yourself better, it’s to help you create measurable, sustainable change in how you think, respond, and move forward.

Do you ever feel stuck, like no matter how hard you try, you keep ending up right where you started? Are fear and self-doubt holding you back from reaching your goals or living the life you want?

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply trying to make sense of life’s transitions, my goal is to support you in creating meaningful and lasting change. With experience working with children, adults, and couples in both outpatient and inpatient settings, I’ve helped many individuals improve their emotional well-being and discover a renewed sense of balance and purpose. Change can be challenging, but you don’t have to face it by yourself. Together, we’ll build the tools, insight, and resilience you need to move toward the life you deserve — one step at a time. Taking the first step toward help is an act of strength and self-care. Let’s begin your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting transformation.

When your child or teen is struggling, it can leave you feeling worried, overwhelmed, and unsure of what will actually help.
