Av Med Therapists in Florida

Starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even intimidating—and it’s worth taking a moment to recognize the courage it takes to take this first step toward caring for your mental health. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment where you can explore challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care, and more. My goal is to help you strengthen communication and boundaries with yourself and others so that you can improve your quality of life and move toward the future you envision. Therapy is not just about overcoming obstacles—it’s also about personal growth. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify strategies to help you move toward them, whether that means change over the next month, six months, or a year. You’ll leave our sessions with practical insights and “next steps” you can put into action right away. I believe life’s purpose isn’t simply to be happy, but to find meaning—and within that meaning, joy emerges. While the journey isn’t always easy, it can be transformative.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor that has been practicing for over 25 years. I went to the University of South Florida for my Master's degree in Mental Health and Rehabilitative Counseling. I have worked with children and families, troubled teens, physical and sexual abuse and trauma victims, as well as people suffering from Depression and Anxiety. I have experience working with PTSD and dual diagnosis. I look forward to helping you on your journey to better mental health.

Maybe you’re the person everyone counts on, the one who handles things, keeps going, and appears to have it all together. But underneath that, you may be anxious, emotionally exhausted, constantly overthinking, or struggling in relationships. You may find yourself people-pleasing, feeling guilty for saying no, putting everyone else’s needs before your own, or wondering why the same patterns keep showing up even when you know you want something different. I work with adults who want to understand where these patterns come from and begin changing them. Often, our work explores how family dynamics, childhood experiences, and past relationships have shaped the way you view yourself, manage emotions, set boundaries, and connect with others. This isn’t about blaming the past. It’s about understanding what you learned to do to cope or feel connected and deciding what still serves you today. For some clients, these patterns become even more noticeable after becoming a parent. Parenthood can bring up unexpected emotions about your own childhood, your relationship with your parents, and what you want to carry forward or intentionally do differently with your own family. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C), and EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist. My approach is warm, collaborative, and genuine, with a focus on helping you understand yourself more deeply, heal from experiences you may still be carrying, and create healthier patterns in your relationship with yourself and others.

Do you feel lost? Endless anxiety? Confused about who you are? Hopeless? Feel like you're on a treadmill that never stops. Society tells us who we should be. But real joy and contentment comes from being who we really are, our most authentic selves. Real contentment also comes from purpose, hard work, and connection. My life's work is to guide and support those seeking a transformative journey to living your best life.

We are all facing difficult challenges in this life and often we find ourselves unsure of where to turn or what to do. We can all too easily get stuck in a rut and can use a little nudge to get us out and moving again. I'm glad you have taken the first step in seeking help. Counseling can seem a daunting endeavor but it can also be very beneficial and rewarding as a means to better understanding of ourselves. My hope is that you will continue reading about me and be able to gain an understanding and a comfort in us partnering together on your journey. My name is Mike and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. Throughout my career, my goal has been to help others to better understand the difficulties they are facing and find a path to work through those challenges. I accomplish this goal by openly and without judgement, meeting the client where they are. My approach includes principles from multiple theorists, each having their own benefits dependent on the issues that are being faced. Our focus will be on the present, the here and now. When necessary as part of developing better understanding, we will look at past events and triggers for how they have informed the present, but we are in the present. We will work collaboratively to better understand current problems, we'll set realistic goals for progress and develop skills necessary to not only overcome current issues but face future concerns as well. My areas of practice include working with blended families, intimacy issues, infertility/adoption decisions, grief and loss, stages of life, as well as compassion fatigue/care giver issues along with anxiety, stress, and depression. You've taken the important first steps in this journey to a healthier you. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you but ultimately whether you choose to work with me or another counselor I hope you are able to gain a better understanding of yourself and create brighter future. Best wishes, Mike

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Florida Board-Approved Qualified Supervisor (QS) who works with adults navigating anxiety, relationships, identity shifts, and major life transitions. My approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. I bring evidence-based strategies into our work while recognizing that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all - your experiences, strengths, values, and goals shape the work we do together.

My favorite clients are the ones who are ready for a change in their life…no matter how big or small. I enjoy couples counseling with traditional and non traditional couples. I have had a lot of success with clients with anxiety and depression. Sometimes life throws a lot our way and you need a safe place to think, regroup and make a new plan. I can help with that!

In the end, we are all humans trying to do the best we can. If you are struggling with a relationship, anxiety, depression, self esteem or stage of life issues, reach out. You do not have to go it alone and there is hope. I am here.

Getting to know people, hearing their stories, and understanding what matters to them is a big part of who I am and what I do. I work with individuals and families navigating addiction, PTSD, and the many challenges that can come alongside them.

My goal is to be someone they can trust, connect them with the right resources and support, and help them navigate the road ahead. To me, it's about seeing the person beyond their circumstances and making sure they know they don't have to figure everything out alone.

Hi, I'm Desiree Reed. I have my Masters in Counseling and Psychology, I take pride in helping individuals work through their life's obstacles. As a therapist, I provide an open, safe environment to explore difficult emotions and provide guidance to help clients navigate life's challenges. My goal is to help my clients build resilience and foster self-compassion. I'm passionate about providing quality care to my clients and helping them reach their full potential. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My goal is to help my clients develop the skills they need to manage their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in order to reach their desired outcomes.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I have 18 years of experience working with individuals and families. I have helped people with a wide range of concerns including posttraumatic stress disorder, childhood trauma’s, depression, anxiety, parenting issues, relationship and family issues, stage of life challenges, the pain of recovering after a divorce, decision-making, and problem-solving.

You may have reached a point where you know it’s time to figure out what comes next, even if you’re not sure how to begin. Maybe the past still shapes how you see yourself, how much you trust your own judgment, or how connected you feel to who you are. I’m Norlan McKenzie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) specializing in trauma, working with adults affected by childhood abuse and abusive relationships. In our work, you don’t have to rush, explain everything perfectly, or have it all figured out. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), we slow things down and listen to the parts of you carrying self-doubt, fear, or inner criticism, and you decide how much to share and when. My British Caribbean roots shape how I think about family, culture, and identity, and how they influence the ways people learn to get through things. In my practice, this means honoring the unspoken expectations of resilience you carry, like the pressure to keep going, keep quiet, or keep everyone else okay. Together, we can untangle the coping patterns passed down in your family, so you can decide what still serves you and what it’s finally safe to set down. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and my master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at the University of South Florida. I’ve worked in mental health since 2012, supporting people across Florida and the Caribbean, and I now offer telehealth sessions. My hope is that you begin to trust yourself again and build a life that feels like your own.

Hi there. I’m Danica.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, National Certified Counselor, and Ph.D. candidate in Counseling with a specialization in Family and Couple Therapy, I bring a compassionate, integrative, and culturally attuned approach to therapy.

Many people come to therapy wanting not only relief from symptoms, but a deeper understanding of themselves. I specialize in Jungian depth therapy for individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and want more than symptom management. I prioritize building a deeply attuned and trusting therapeutic relationship where we can explore stressors, uncover unconscious patterns, and work through the inner conflicts that keep you from moving forward.

Thank you for taking time to learn a little about me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addictions Professional with over 28 years of counseling experience in clinical, private and educational settings. I practice Client-centered therapy. For those who are unfamiliar with Client-centered therapy it is based on the practice that the CLIENT is best able to decide what to explore and mark as a goal of treatment. I empower all my clients without compromising empathy. Whatever the reason any individual, couple, or family comes to me, I challenge their skillset to solve problems and restore resolve; not simply provide short-term solutions. The first step to achieve this is to build a rapport with essential empathy and unconditional positive regard. I believe in relationships. Seems a little elementary but one's physical, mental, and overall wellness is dependent on relations that we have with each other. No matter how large or small one's family is, and/or social circle we were all meant to establish and grow relationships. No level of true self-reflection would escape this fact. I witnessed this to be true in all of my clients as with myself. I currently reside Central Florida with my wife, son, and three daughters. As a family we enjoy an active lifestyle supportive of one another and the family dynamic. I welcome the opportunity to work with you, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

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).

Hi there! I'm Rachel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years human service and social work experience - including experience on the frontline working child abuse investigations. I transitioned to clinical private practice 4 years ago. I don’t run a sterile, academic practice. My work is deeply rooted in evidence-based science, but our sessions are designed to feel like a real, natural conversation focused on practical, real-world results. I run a warm, accepting space built specifically for anyone who is feeling completely overburdened and just plain tired of pretending they have it all together. When your daily environment, career, or life stage demands total strength, life's challenges and transitions become infinitely heavier to carry on your own. That’s why my approach is straightforward, honest, and entirely focused on helping you let down your guard so you can focus on your own mental wealth and recovery. I am the right fit for those navigating high-pressure realities. My background includes specialized training in trauma, including supporting military personnel, first responders, their spouses, and other public service workers who carry the heavy weight of frontline cultures. I am equally a match for teenagers and young adults navigating the modern grind—those juggling school, career transitions, social pressures, and the exhausting expectation to have their entire identity figured out right now.

I’m Janet Martinez solo owner of Blossoming Minds Clinical Group- a Licensed Psychologist with 17 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through challenges such as trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, and emotional regulation. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focus, Mindfulness, and Family Therapy to help clients develop healthier coping strategies and improve their overall well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, with a focus on building emotional resilience, improving communication, and promoting lasting change.

I’m an experienced therapist who helps adults heal from trauma, painful life experiences, anxiety, and patterns that leave them feeling stuck. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. Together, we look beyond symptoms to understand what’s underneath them, with a focus on meaningful healing, greater self-understanding, and lasting change in your life.

Peace. Happiness. Love. Success. We seek them. We want them. As we see them within reach, we are knocked down by the challenges and difficulties of life. We find, instead, lives that are filled with anxiety, sadness, grief, trauma, loss and failure. I know this too well. I have experienced this in my own life and in the life of my clients. It does not matter where you are in your life. I have had celebrity clients at the top of their field. I have worked with gold medal athletes. I have worked with businessmen and women, housewives, families, adolescents. I have also worked with those who have lost everything to the ravishes of substance use and with men serving life in prison. It is possible to navigate the dangerous waters of life, but you will need a guide. I am that guide. I have excellent education from Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have a wealth of experience. I have over three decades of experience as a husband, father, grandfather, youth pastor, counselor and university professor. I have worked in the church, private practice (in Florida and the Bahamas), community mental health (specializing in crisis and families with at-risk-adolescents), foster care, substance abuse, juvenile justice and the prisons. I have maintained my relevance by teaching at the university level, advising a best-selling author on the psychological aspects of his book, and serving as a consultant to other mental health agencies. I have wonderful experience working with anxiety, depression, anger, parenting issues, challenging children and teenagers, grief, trauma, substance use issues, family and relationship issues, LGBT issues, and other issues and concerns. I have helped my clients find peace with themselves, with others and in their situations. I have helped my clients find happiness, even amid loss. I have helped my clients find belonging and love in healthy and supportive relationships. I have helped my clients increase their ability to succeed by changing their thinking. One of the foundations of my life and my work was written by M. Scott Peck in The Road Less Travelled. He wrote, “Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths… Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?” Let’s start today to solve some of life’s problems and to begin to grasp peace, happiness, love and success.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in South Florida. I've been counseling for 26 years and bring extensive experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I take time to understand your story, strengths, and circumstances, then work with you to develop an approach that fits your goals and supports meaningful change.

I am a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Life Coach, and retired teacher and guidance counselor with master's degrees in Counseling, School Psychology, and Social Work. I have also completed specialized ADHD training through ADDCA, allowing me to combine evidence-based therapeutic approaches with practical strategies that clients can apply in their everyday lives. I specialize in working with individuals of all ages who have ADHD, as well as parents seeking guidance and support. I understand the unique challenges that can accompany ADHD, including difficulties with executive functioning, time management, organization, procrastination, self-esteem, and anxiety. Together, we will identify your strengths, develop practical skills, and create personalized strategies that help you feel more confident, organized, and in control of your life. In addition to ADHD, I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, positive psychology, and solution-focused techniques to help clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns, build resilience, and make meaningful, lasting changes. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth. My role is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we will discover your strengths, overcome obstacles, and develop practical strategies that move you toward the life you want to create.
