Book 100+ of the best Ambetter Health therapists in Florida

Hi. I'm Gloria, LMHC in the FL State. Are you going through depression, anxiety, long-lasting effects of trauma, adjustment to new cultures, or dealing with children and adolescents with behavioral problems? Are you part of a minority facing bigotry and adaptation to the main culture; or having relational problems preventing you from having the good life you deserve? In a few words, are you a human being who is struggling to be the best that you can be? If your answer is yes to one of these questions then, you are the client I want to serve. Together we can find the tools you need to grow and enhance your strengths; yes your strengths, those that you have even if you can't recognize them. I’ll work within an array of therapeutic approaches, always in the here and now, to familiarize yourself with your mind and its work because I’m convinced that, “ Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." Depression, anxiety, losses, adjustments, trauma these all are inexhaustible sources of pain. We all, as humans, share them so, "Maybe that's the point of humanitarianism, it's in making the effort, it's in sending the message that you actually care." I care. Feel free to contact me.

I am passionate about helping Millennials and Gen Z overcome hopelessness, exhaustion and self-doubt. My clients feel like they’re forcing a smile but deep down they feel depressed and defeated. It’s confusing and scary. I’ll help you shed a light on your sadness so you don’t have to feel like a fraud or a crazy person. I get it, we can figure this out together. My clients describe me as warm, caring and authentic. Even though what we talk about is important, I believe it’s our genuine connection that will allow you to create true and lasting change.

Welcome! I am a mental health clinician licensed in Florida with extensive experience. I have worked with clients on a wide range of concerns including substance abuse/addiction, depression, personality disorders, relationship issues, career challenges, anxiety, ADHD, autism, domestic violence, as well as those who have experienced trauma and/or abuse. We’ll begin with an introductory session where I’ll ask some questions about your goals and expectations. From there, we’ll talk through a tentative treatment plan and discuss specific coping skills, communication tools, patterns of behavior, and action items that will help enhance your quality of life. I am excited to support you in your journey and I look forward to working together!

Hi there, I'm Bridgett! I specialize in Women's mental health, ranging from 18 years old and on. Do you have feelings of hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, maybe you're unmotivated, or need assistance with identifying healthy coping skills? Is your goal to get that joy back in your life? Life isn't always beautiful and perfect, often times it's challenging, frustrating, and confusing. I help my clients acknowledge and experience those unwanted feelings. The idea is to experience them but not to live in them. Making a decision to seek therapy is a courageous one. It is a beautiful start to the healing process, and self-discovery. If you are interested in beginning this brave journey please feel free to reach out to me.
