Therapists in Florida

You may be the person everyone counts on. You show up, get things done, take care of others, and keep moving forward—even when you’re overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or struggling inside. You don’t have to keep holding it all together on your own. I work with individuals who are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, depression, and the pressures of everyday life. You don’t have to be in crisis to seek support. Whether you’re a high-achieving professional, a parent, a business owner, a tradesperson, or simply someone trying to manage everything life demands, therapy can help you feel more grounded, capable, and connected to yourself. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness to help you better understand your thoughts, manage difficult emotions, navigate relationships, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress. I focus on practical tools you can bring into your everyday life, while creating a space where you can be heard without judgment. I believe therapy should be both compassionate and purposeful. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change that fits your life. You don’t have to wait until you’re falling apart to make a change. You deserve support along the way.

I am from Brazil, and I speak Portuguese as well :) I can understand Spanish pretty well too, but I do not speak fluently. FIT MIND counseling services enjoys empowering clients finding a more meaningful way to live their lives and assisting them learning about the importance of self-love. Helping clients to focus on themselves and on their self-care is a precious thing. When they learn to embrace and unconditionally love for being themselves, they become stronger in the face of negativity and more able to hold onto positive thoughts when faced with challenges. Mental illness is as real as any physical illness. We talk normally about cancer and diabetes, although the same should apply to mental illness. Emotional and mental health are just as important as the physical health of a human being. The emotional trauma that a brain endures in various of the human life cycle can be damaging and in the long run, just as detrimental as a psychical illness. People donate their organs, but they cannot donate their brains. Some people live with human-made hearts, but there is no such thing as human-made brains. I believe that our brain is the most important organ in our human body, so why don’t we start taking good care of it? Therapy is not only for people with mental illness. Therapy is for everyone. We all have faced or currently face some hardships in life. Talking to a therapist can help you deeply in improving your mental health, decrease your stress and live with more joy and intention!

Hi All! I am from a small town off of San Diego, California but spent most of my career working with people who lived in some of the more impoverished areas of Los Angeles. My speciality was/is working with highly at-risk youth and families and I loved doing it; I think I got as much from the experience as did my clients. Personally, I grew up as a fairly good athlete and could often be found on a tennis court, running & cycling around town and even at the gym. I love animals and I have two big dogs and two cats. I am spiritual and attend church regularly. I love the beach and ocean; I have recently moved to Sarasota and am truly enjoying it. As most therapists do, I have my own history of fighting through some emotionally difficult times and am beyond happy to tell you that with some assistance, I managed to come out the other side and am now quite well and happy today! Professionally, I have had several careers including, Federal & Local law enforcement and driving as FEDEX Delivery driver while getting my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. After several years of completing the required 3,000 hours of hands-on service, I passed the exams and ultimately became a fully Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. My practice has provided me with the opportunity to work with persons with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Schizophrenia and more. I am trained and qualified to provide mental health treatment to kids, families, couples and individual adults. I love my job; I love helping people. It would be an honor if you would consider entrusting me to assist you with anything from your smaller troubles to bigger issues and beyond; I believe that we can achieve great success together.

I am licensed in Florida with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, & depression.

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
