Therapists in Florida

I’m a licensed therapist who supports women who have spent most of their lives being the strong one, the responsible one, and the over-functioner for everyone else. Many of the women I work with grew up emotionally neglected or learned early on that their value came from how much they could carry. I help them reconnect with themselves, feel grounded again, and build a sense of identity and worthiness that isn’t tied to performance, achievement, or constantly being “the strong one.”

Everyone needs a safe space to unpack life's heaviest moments. As a multi-state Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida, North Carolina, and Texas. I specialize in helping high-achieving professionals, women, and adults navigate overwhelming anxiety, perfectionism, and major life transitions (like career shifts, relocations, and relationship changes). My therapeutic approach is collaborative, warm, and deeply practical. I integrate evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help you break cycles of self-doubt. Together, we will uncover your core strengths, establish healthy boundaries, and build the lasting resilience needed to live life on your own terms. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward transformation.

We all struggle to get through life. Sometimes it feels like we are sinking instead of swimming and there is no one around to help you keep your head above water. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy more of life and decrease your stress and frustrations? I enjoy helping people who want to succeed in making their life meaningful and fulfilling while decreasing their emotional dysregulation, stress, and feeling overwhelmed with life. I provide the space you need to share your concerns and struggles and work with you to overcome your obstacles.

Hi, I’m Elissa—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s most challenging moments. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, working closely with military personnel, first responders, and members of the general community who are navigating betrayal, grief, anxiety, chronic pain, and relationship transitions. My practice is built on warmth, authenticity, and deep respect for your lived experience. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or simply a space to be heard, I offer evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and couples counseling—all tailored to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and uncover the strengths that can move you forward. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing—it’s about understanding, growing, and reclaiming your voice. If you’re ready to begin, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you are dealing with anxiety, going through a big change, feeling burned out, or stuck in old habits. Therapy offers a place to pause, find clarity, and learn practical tools for lasting change. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps adults understand themselves, improve their emotional health, and build better relationships. My style is warm, collaborative, and sensitive to your background and experiences. I create a safe space where you feel heard and accepted.

I also have experience with crisis intervention, LGBTQ+ affirming care, group therapy, and working with other professionals on your care. I became a therapist because I have seen how much a caring, supportive space can help people heal. Working in both schools and clinics has made me even more passionate about helping people from all backgrounds feel respected, empowered, and supported as they work toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. When I am not working, I like to read, visit bookstores and coffee shops, travel, make crafts, and spend time with my Cavapoo. These hobbies help me stay grounded and bring balance, curiosity, and mindfulness into my work with clients. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you do not have to do it alone. I would be honored to support you as you work toward healing, growth, and lasting well-being.

Everyday is a series of small revolutions, realizations, adjustments, and changes that expand and contract within our beings. Therapy is a place to release, process, unpack, and unwind. Essentially, it's space to breathe and reconnect. Show yourself kindness and compassion. You do deserve the best life has to offer! Give yourself a breather, a pat on the back, and a smile as you embark upon your day.

Hi, I'm Anabel. I work with young adults who are ready to grow: leveling up how you communicate, setting boundaries that stick, building self-worth, and learning to manage your emotions instead of getting hijacked by them. Picture making decisions without the guilt spiral, saying what you need without over-explaining yourself, and handling hard moments from a calm, grounded place instead of full-on reacting. Picture relationships built on honesty and respect, including with yourself. If that sounds like what you're going for, let's connect!

I am dedicated to helping you through your journey of discovering a better you, or perhaps, regaining the you that you may have lost through difficult times. I like to view life as a book. Like any book, our life has chapters. Some of these chapters are happy, some are sad, some have successes that we can be proud of, and some are chapters we would not want anyone else to ever read. It is true that we cannot go back and change these chapters, but we can learn and grow from them, and you know what? The next chapter is unwritten and waiting to be your best chapter yet!

I know change can be scary and it takes courage to make the first step in asking for help. I believe building rapport and being met with compassion is essential to creating a healing environment to empower you to be the best you.

I’m a warm, compassionate therapist who believes you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. I became a therapist because I’ve seen how anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and the pressure to meet everyone else’s expectations can impact how we see ourselves and move through life. My own experiences, along with my professional background, have shaped the way I connect with clients. I understand that sometimes being the “strong one” can become exhausting, and that setting boundaries or putting yourself first can bring up a lot of guilt. In therapy, I want you to feel comfortable being your whole self without judgment. I take a collaborative and down-to-earth approach, meeting you where you are and helping you develop tools and insight that feel realistic for your life.

It never ceases to amaze me just how often I have to try to convince others that they are worthy SIMPLY because they exist. This includes you!

Hello, I am Viktoria. Life doesn't always go as planned, and transitions, illness, and trauma are rarely anticipated. Are you struggling with self-defeating patterns that are causing depression, anxiety, and /or a feeling of being stuck? Do you want to make changes in your personal and professional life? Do you have challenges in your relationship? Individuals have unique and individual needs, which should be recognized. Most of the time, you will be able to handle the situation with the help of your friends and family or on your own. There are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. An important aspect of therapy is the opportunity to explore feelings of loneliness, anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, and to begin the process of creating positive and lasting changes. This takes place in a non-judgmental, therapeutic relationship based on empathy, trust, safety, and compassion. My style is calm, warm, and relaxed, and I believe in creating a safe environment for you in which compassion, support, and humor can flourish. Together, we can gain insight and understanding of the relationships between emotions, core beliefs and behaviors in order to find solutions to the problems you are facing.

Hi, I’m Kristy, and I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can show up exactly as you are without pressure, judgment, or having to carry everything alone. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, grief, infertility, relationship stress, life transitions, and emotionally heavy seasons, with a special passion for supporting women through loss and identity shifts. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and more like yourself again.

John Checkett is the first man in history to earn a master's degree in Women's Studies in Florida. How many times has this happened to you: You've made an innocent remark, and the other person distorts it and blames you for the distortion, not for what you actually said. That's called the Strawman Argument and is a common problem of communication -- communication typically being the single biggest problem couples have. Communication is one of the social sciences, and one of John's specialties, along with Women's Studies, Pastoral Psychology and Clinical Social Work. He helps high-functioning men and women free themselves from low self-esteem and negative thinking. As a former officer in the Theosophical Society and a former professional psychic, he firmly believes in the value of Spirituality to Mental Health. He can also help with exercise and nutrition, to help create a holistically healthy situation for you. Whether you're dealing with anxiety or depression, relationship problems, or just feel overwhelmed, Prof Checkett is here to help -- even with time management! You might feel bit nervous about starting therapy, but he's extremely easy to talk to, knowledgeable in a wide variety of subjects, and very media-literate. Most people feel better after a session. In a short time we can get you unstuck and back to living a happy life again.
