Therapists in Florida

Originally from New Jersey, I earned my B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I moved to New York City in 1997 and completed my MSW at the Wurzweiler School of Social Work. In 2000, I completed a certification in psychoanalytic psychotherapy from the Post Graduate Center for Mental Health. Immediately after moving to Florida later that year in 2002, I completed additional coursework at Barry University and obtained my social work licensure in Florida. I have worked with children, adolescents and young adults in several areas utilizing a diverse spectrum of training for 25 years. These include loss and bereavement, trauma, crisis, eating disorders, anxiety, depression and adjustment disorders. I started my private practice in 2003 in Miami. Using my background in several orientations and theories, along with experience gained over a long clinical social work career, I conduct comprehensive assessments that best address areas of emotional and behavioral concerns. I stay up to date on all the most effective training and information and aim to create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental environment by meeting each individual where they are in their struggles and development. This process helps one discover the inherent strengths that allow change to happen ensuring best therapeutic results.

Hi my name is Amy, and I first want to acknowledge how difficult and scary it feels to begin the process of therapy, either for the first time or starting with a new therapist. I take very seriously the enormous strength that takes and I work very hard to ensure that you feel safe and heard as we begin the therapeutic relationship. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience providing counseling in both inpatient and outpatient centers. I received my Master’s degree in counseling in 2008, from Webster University. I had the privilege of working in an inpatient eating disorder facility for five years and have continued that work in outpatient settings. I am an ally to the LGBTQ community and it is important to me that clients find this a safe space. I have a passion for connecting with teenagers, college students and career women to build a safe place with an adult where they can voice their feelings and experiences without fear of judgement. I also especially enjoy working with young adult women as they navigate their way through the process of beginning adulthood. I have experience with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and general women’s issue. I am especially passionate about working with CPTSD and PTSD. I have received training and supervision in working with trauma as it is a highly specialized field. Trauma survivors need validation, belief, compassion and acceptance first and foremost before a trusting relationship can be established. I have working with women exiting a toxic relationship, having endured narcissistic abuse and/or infidelity (betrayal trauma) which is many times misunderstood by well-intentioned people. My approach is warm, compassionate and highly empathetic as I work to establish a safe environment for healing to take place.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who provides a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, stress, and significant life transitions. I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult, and I strive to help clients feel comfortable, heard, and respected. My approach is collaborative and solution focused, combining meaningful conversation with practical tools that can help you build emotional resilience, gain clarity, and create lasting change in your everyday life. To learn more about my practice I also have a website, www.counselingwithnichole.com.

Hey there, my name is Amelia, By taking a compassionate and warm approach, I help my clients heal from the past and make meaningful change in the present.

I believe therapy should be engaging, supportive, and responsive.

Hi, I’m Rayan, a licensed mental health counselor who’s passionate about helping people feel seen, understood, and supported. I specialize in working with clients navigating anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, and burnout. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and culturally affirming.

Hello. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I earned my Master's Degree from Webster University and am currently a doctoral candidate pursuing a Ph.D. in General Psychology at Capella University. My topic of study is on perinatal experiences, so this is truly an interest for me. I have been in private practice for five years. I support women who have experienced a variety of childbirth-related challenges, whether it's infertility, anxiety during pregnancy, fetal loss, and postpartum anxiety/depression.

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about supporting adults and couples as they navigate life’s transitions and pursue meaningful growth. Whether you are a college student or recent graduate adjusting to a new season of life, an individual facing anxiety or depression, or a couple preparing for marriage or working to strengthen your relationship, I strive to provide guidance that feels both supportive and practical. My Christian faith shapes my personal values; however, I work with people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Faith-based perspectives are incorporated into counseling only if a client specifically desires it. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing and work toward the emotional and personal goals that matter most to you. I have experience working with adults experiencing life changes, including college and post-college transitions, relationship challenges, marriage and premarital preparation, and parenting. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and stress that often accompany these seasons of change. My background as a behavioral specialist in community mental health allows me to effectively support adults diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, as well as parents raising children with these diagnoses. In my work with couples, I draw from my experience as a trained Prepare/Enrich facilitator to help partners strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build healthier, more connected relationships. When working with individuals, I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My focus is on equipping you with practical tools and strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Hi, I’m Karly Sandoval, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that healing begins when we feel truly seen, supported, and understood. I became a counselor because, when I was younger, I needed someone to help me navigate my own challenges — and now I strive to be that person for others. I take an eclectic and creative approach to counseling, meaning I draw from different therapeutic methods to meet your unique needs. I enjoy helping people from all walks of life discover their inner strength and work toward meaningful growth. Whether you’re facing anxiety, family stress, or life transitions, my goal is to help you reconnect with your values, find clarity, and move forward with confidence. I hope we can grow together and create a space that feels both supportive and empowering.

I am an experienced and dedicated professional with a rich history spanning over three decades in counseling, education, professional services, and human advocacy. With a robust background, I have accumulated over two decades of successful supervision, five years of specialized McKinney-Vento Act implementation, and a strong aptitude for managing intricate projects while promoting collaboration. My skill set encompasses adept writing, organizational prowess, effective communication, and expertise in counseling and program development. My true passion lies in addressing the multifaceted challenges that families, adults, children, and youth encounter, especially in the realms of poverty, homelessness, substance-related issues, incarceration, and other life difficulties. Throughout my career, I've established a proven track record of forging robust partnerships and making a lasting impact. My adaptability and unwavering commitment, as evidenced by my licenses and certifications, render me an invaluable addition to any organization committed to effecting positive change in the lives of vulnerable populations.

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist and licensed marriage and family therapist, with addiitonal post graduate training in marriage and family therapy. I have tremendous respect for individuals who are open to addressing their difficult experiences. To do so, requires courage, and I will partner with you on this journey. Painful life experiences leave an unfinished learning, and the purpose of therapy is to complete this learning. In individual therapy, I help client’s to say, “No,” without feeling guilty, and to move away from repetitive overthinking. We will address your “inner critic” to help you to be present in relating to others. Individual therapy can address your motivation and vitality, helping you to manage stress, rather than stress managing you. With couples therapy, I help couples stop having the same argument over and over. After infidelity, couples may find the path back to “us.” Partners with parenting differences can learn to collaborate for their kids. I also provide Parent-Child Interaction Therapy for parents of children, ages 2 to 7, who have temper tantrums, and/or attention difficulties.

I am someone who believes therapy should feel like a space where you can finally be your full self.

I have over a decade of professional experience working with a variety of populations, marginalized and at risk individuals and their families, survivors of traumas individuals navigating complex trauma, anxiety, ADHD in adulthood, families of children with autism, first responders and members of law enforcement, coaches of athletes, athletes, people who have been incarcerated or are on probation. My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I use a holistic and skills-based approach, guiding individuals in developing practical tools to manage life’s complexities, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward lasting change. I work towards building therapeutic trust in order to work towards processing and building coping skills to manage life's everyday stressors. I’m committed to creating inclusive, affirming spaces where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. I am trained in trauma incident reduction therapy and can utilize different tools from the practice to support those processing either recent or past traumas. I use an integrative approach of CBT, trauma informed therapy, strength-based solution focused therapy, and family/relationship systems to create the best treatment plan tailored to fit each person’s unique needs.

Our current political and economic climates give many causes for concern. It can affect daily life, such as work, home, school, and social circles, essentially taking the fun out of what was once pleasurable. The same things that DO seem to help can eventually cause more pain. Who can you talk to when no one is listening? It would be helpful to have someone to talk to who can be objective, non-judgmental, and open-minded...but who could that be? Hello, I'm Montavious. What sets me apart is an ear for listening, a guiding approach, and an interest in helping you to overcome these obstacles. Join me by scheduling an appointment for a fitting. No one cares what you know unless they KNOW that you care! Contact me now to find out how!

Check out my website to learn about me, my background and experience, and how I may help you or your loved ones reach your goals! It probably explains more than you'd really want to know.

I'm so glad you're here! I’m Ms. Lewis, a compassionate and dedicated therapist with a deep commitment to supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and growth. With a warm and nonjudgmental approach, I create a safe space where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions openly. I became a therapist because I genuinely love helping individuals become the best version of themselves, feel heard, and find significance in their lives. Being a therapist allows me to witness and support the incredible resilience of the human spirit. It is a privilege to guide clients toward clarity, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Hi, I’m Kizzy, and I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or emotionally exhausted, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling burned out, discouraged, or unsure where to turn. Together, we create a supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes. I use evidence-based, compassionate approaches to help clients manage anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and parenting stress, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. My style is collaborative, grounded, and practical—I help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface while also building tools you can use in everyday life. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” you, but about helping you reconnect with your strengths, develop healthier patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Healing is possible, even when it feels hard to imagine right now. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with years of experience supporting individuals and couples through complex emotional challenges, including relationship concerns, codependency, addiction, family conflict, domestic abuse, divorce, and loss. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and take the next step toward feeling more grounded and empowered, I would be honored to work with you.

My goal is to help with the obstacles that are blocking my client’s from becoming the best version of themselves. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, intensively trained in EMDR and DBT therapies. I’ve been serving the community in outpatient and residential settings for over 18 years. I have earned a bachelor’s degree, in psychology, from Northeastern University and hold a double master’s: Counseling Psychology, from Lesley University and in Clinical Psychology, from Columbia University.

Do you find yourself appearing capable and composed on the outside while quietly carrying a constant sense of pressure, responsibility, or emotional exhaustion on the inside? Many high-functioning professionals and women are skilled at managing work, relationships, and expectations, yet still feel overwhelmed by the invisible weight they carry. I am a licensed therapist dedicated to creating a safe and affirming space where your experiences are heard, respected, and explored without judgment. My counseling approach honors the complexity of your life and the cultural, relational, and personal factors that shape how you show up in the world. Together, we examine the patterns that contribute to stress, over-responsibility, emotional urgency, and difficulty prioritizing your own needs. In therapy, we work to slow down the cycle of constant doing and shift toward greater clarity, regulation, and self-understanding. This process often includes identifying long-standing patterns, strengthening emotional boundaries, and building healthier ways of responding to stress, relationships, and internal pressure. My goal is to support you in processing life’s challenges while reconnecting with your strengths and capacity for balance. At the center of my work is the belief that meaningful change begins with awareness, followed by intentional repair and compassionate growth—an approach reflected in the Break. Repair. Heal.™ framework that guides my practice.

I’m a licensed therapist who strives to see families and parents learn new ways, techniques and strategies on how to cope with real life changes and see individuals learn about themselves and begin to process life challenges. I enjoy the traditional Florida lifestyle of exploring nature, the springs, the beaches and all the hiking trails and state parks Florida offers.

I'm Eduardo Florez, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor offering telehealth therapy across Florida — including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville. I specialize in treatment-resistant cases where previous therapy hasn't worked, and in couples therapy for communication breakdowns, infidelity recovery, high-conflict patterns, and emotional disconnection. I also work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and major life transitions, with particular focus on veterans, first responders, and high-functioning professionals dealing with burnout and perfectionism. My approach is direct, strategic, and pattern-focused — drawing on Gottman Method, CBT, and DBT to give you practical tools you can use immediately. I challenge what keeps you stuck rather than just processing feelings. Bilingual (English/Spanish), LGBTQ+ affirming, evening and weekend appointments available, most insurance accepted.

I am passionate about trauma and helping others who have suffered from trauma in the past. The impact of trauma is largely unrecognized and can last a lifetime. Additionally, symptoms of trauma masquerade as many other diagnoses. For example, thousands of children are diagnosed each year with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, when their symptoms are actually due to trauma. Trauma disguises itself as anger management issues, impulsivity, depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks ... the list goes on and on. For me, treating trauma and helping others overcome its devastating effects is intensely rewarding.

From my own curative journey I have borrowed a whole-person approach: mind, body, & soul. There is no "magic pill," or quick fixes when it comes to harnessing sustainable mental wellness. It has been my personal experience that this process can lead to deep restoration from the layers of adversity. Each layer will reveal itself in its own time. This is why therapy will look different for everyone at different stages of life.

Hello, I'm Jane originally born and raised in N.J. and living in Florida since 2017. I've been practicing mental health therapy for 40+ years in the field and in private practice. I enjoy working with clients and helping them through the therapy process and achieve their goals. Originally, I was planning on becoming an anthropologist and studying with Dr. Margaret Mead, however, my career plans changed when I realized that my own family had difficulties in communicating with each other. I wanted to study and help other families learn to talk to one another. From seeing families, this turned into seeing children-teens, couples, and adults. I find it very rewarding to help clients through a difficult time.

I am a licensed therapist who is passionate about helping clients navigate burnout. I am passionate because I have been there and was tired of getting unhelpful answers from people who meant well but did not seem to understand. Advice like ‘sleep it off’ and ‘take a deep breath’ we're common and it felt like I was putting a bandaid on a gaping wound. I promise, life does not need to be a constant cycle of burning out and starting again. Through our work together we will explore ways to ‘stitch’ the gaping wound so you are actually able to heal and move towards a more balanced life. Through our work together I will use imagery and analogies to help you better understand how and why your body and mind is reacting the way it is. Like a birds eye view, I am able to see some of the signs that are right in front of you but are too zoomed in to see clearly. In a non-judgmental space I use education and a bit of humor to help you see the full picture and move towards a healthier balance.

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.

Feeling things are out of your control, the tension in your body, the feeling you can’t possibly get everything done without disappointing others and you want relief now. Anxiety can be debilitating.

I've worked with individuals as young as 13, as well as families and adults, and I have specialized training in MATCH for children under 18 experiencing anxiety and depression.

It is important to learn and develop the skills that will help us manage different symptoms in difficult situation to overcome obstacles.

I have been in the mental health field since 2007. I was informed when I first started in this field that the average time for people to stay in the field is two years. I am still in the field because helping others is more than a career choice for me, it is my passion in life. Helping others is a personal goal of mine. I look forward to the opportunity. I enjoy seeing people make positive changes in their lives. I have worked with families, couples, children, adolescents and teens, from various cultures and backgrounds. Each case and each client is unique in their way and each client is important. My particular areas of expertise are depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marriage counseling and family counseling. I refer to myself as a "simple-minded therapist" which means we will explore simple ways to address the presenting concerns because many times the solutions are so simple they can be easily overlooked. I am a firm believer that holding a conversation is more productive than expounding on theoretical approaches.
