Therapists in Florida

My name is Oswaldo “Oz” Castro, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with extensive experience supporting individuals across a wide range of needs and life stages. My passion as a therapist is helping people find hope, healing, and practical tools to move forward. I began my career in neurofeedback, spending 7 years working with children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD, autism, sleep difficulties, anxiety, depression, and other neurodivergent experiences. I later gained 5 years of experience at a drug rehabilitation facility, supporting individuals on their recovery journey from substance use. From there, I spent 2 years at a survivor’s center, helping individuals heal from domestic violence, violent crimes, and grief. During this time, I also worked closely with the LGBTQIA+ community, including facilitating groups for individuals of the trans experience. I also worked for 5 years with children and adolescents transitioning out of a Baker Act and receiving sometimes getting into therapy for the first time, which gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention, family systems, and the importance of providing stability and hope during vulnerable times. Most recently, for the past 3 years, I have been serving clients through the Grow Therapy, where I’ve had the privilege of reaching individuals who previously struggled to access care or find a therapeutic connection locally. This work has strengthened my belief that therapy should be accessible, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique story. If you’re seeking a therapist who will meet you with empathy, understanding, and practical support, I would be honored to work alongside you. Together, we can create a path toward the goals and growth you want for yourself.

Hey, I'm Matt. Life may not offer a lot of certainty, but one thing is for sure: everyone struggles sometimes. You might feel like you struggle MOST of the time. I’d like to counter that notion with the belief that embracing those struggles can be the key to overcoming them. To be clear, embracing our struggles doesn’t mean they simply disappear, but I believe we can learn to acknowledge and manage them in a way that will allow us to feel more empowered and prepared to face them. When we live with anxiety and depression, it makes sense that we would want a permanent fix, but I believe that expectation too often leads to feelings of hopelessness simply because that’s not how anxiety and depression work. What if, instead of waiting for them to magically disappear, we learned to acknowledge those feelings and used our own unique experiences with them to get ourselves through the struggles? If you are struggling, I’d like to offer a safe space for you to talk it out and hopefully come away with a different perspective on your ability to manage your anxiety and/or depression. I might point out a turn here and there, but you’ll do the driving!

I offer a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Whether you’re navigating loss, transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, our work together can help you explore meaning, clarify purpose, and move toward a more authentic and grounded sense of well-being. I approach therapy with curiosity, warmth, and respect, believing it can be a space not only for healing, but also for reclaiming parts of yourself and imagining new possibilities.

Hi, my name is Luz, my pronouns are she/her/hers, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I worked as a teacher for over 15 years before making the journey into a community mental health career. I have experience in mobile crisis response, trauma, forensic mental health concerns. To explain who I am as a therapist, I reflect back to my role as an educator. In the classroom, there was a movement for the teacher to be less of a “sage on the stage” (teacher-centered approach) and more of a “guide on the side” (student-centered). To me, therapy is a lesson plan for a learning experience. It's a guide to develop what the client needs to learn in order to cope with whatever barriers are showing up in the client's life, whether that barrier is an internal issue, such as self-image, or how to cope with work stress. My therapeutic perspective is to provide empathetic, non-judgmental, compassionate guidance and support in an atmosphere of respect and safety while allowing clients to be the experts of their lives, much like “a co-pilot, a sous chef, or an assistant manager” of a client-therapist relationship. I use solution-focused elements to help move toward desired goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to help gain understanding and clarity. Outside of traditional therapy, I enjoy the practices of mindfulness, guided meditation, aromatherapy, and Reiki. Finding a therapist that's the right fit can be a challenging task, but taking that first step towards a healthier you is worth it. I look forward to working with you to help break down those barriers and make progress in areas that most matter to you.

Do you struggle managing your emotions and would love to learn how to cope with them effectively? Do you struggle with thoughts of self-harm, of not being good enough, hopelessness, or emptiness? I help young adult women and women of all ages with ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions helping them learn healthy coping skills, mindfulness, re-framing limiting beliefs, and using their strengths to empower them to live out their full potential.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Jacksonville, Florida. I bring over 15 years of experience in the social work field, including supporting children and families through trauma in case management and community roles. Since earning my MSW from University of North Florida in 2020, I have practiced as a clinician for 5+ years in diverse settings, and since 2022, I have provided therapy exclusively via telehealth. My work is especially meaningful with clients on the autism spectrum, young adults navigating life transitions, women and children coping with medical challenges, and teens managing anxiety, depression, and peer relationships. I also support Caribbean American clients exploring cultural identity and generational trauma. In therapy, I integrate art therapy with CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches. I walk alongside my clients on their healing journey, using creative therapies to bridge the gap between what can be spoken and what is harder to put into words.
