Therapists in Florida

Hi! I am Nyasha Poitier, I received my master's in clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2014. I have been servicing clients for 13 years and in private practice for 8 years. You've made a very courageous step for yourself! I believe the client is the expert of their lives; in therapy, I am here to serve as a guide to help you explore your deepest thoughts and feelings while providing you with a safe and non-judgmental space.

My name is Ashley Beech-Mavrantzas, and I've been in mental health practice for 10 years. I specialize in Mood disorders, Bipolar disorder, and Borderline personality disorder. I also have experience in grief therapy. Furthermore, I use many modalities to treat these disorders such as DBT, CBT and EMDR. Additionally, I use different eclectic modalities based on the client's needs. The best method is client-focused to ensure that I am treating you accurately.

Hello, friends. Are you emotionally exhausted due to ongoing conflicts in life? Moreover, are you utterly overwhelmed while trying to secure a meaningful connection with family or loved ones? If so, you are not alone. Several children maintain the notion that "parents just don't understand." Conversely, many parents believe their children are mentally and emotionally disconnected from family. If this sounds like your case. . .I am extending my "virtual" hand. Let us work together to overcome issues that have long stopped you and your family from being happy, healthy, and whole. My name is Dr. Austin, LCSW, and I assist children and families in their efforts to create a communal living environment where families thrive, not merely survive. I believe in establishing a safe, judgment-free therapeutic setting where all are treated with unconditional positive regard.

Hello! It’s a pleasure to meet you, please call me Dee. I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and a retired Army veteran. I have over 18 years of professional counseling experience working with both children and adults. My undergraduate degree was earned at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and my graduate degree earned at the University of North Florida. Credentials: Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor Nationally Board-Certified Mental Health Counselor Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor Florida Board Certified Telehealth Practitioner Certified Supervisor for Post Graduate Mental Health Counselors I have served clients as individuals, families, and within group environments. Additionally, my counseling experience has included inpatient, outpatient, and crisis stabilization units within the Florida Department of Corrections. I also served as the mental health authority within medium to low-risk juvenile inpatient programs. My experience also includes working within community social service agencies and Medicaid programs. In my years of professional experience, I have found that Depressive and Anxiety Disorders are managed best using Psychotherapy. Whereas many clients may find it helpful to include Antidepressant/Antianxiety medications, it has been my experience that medications alone are less effective and are often supported by Counseling Intervention with a Professional Counselor.

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) passionate about helping individuals find hope and healing during the most difficult times of their lives.  These difficult experiences can leave one feeling lost, depressed, anxious, fearful, and emotionally wounded.

Hello there, I wish to greet you as you walk the path for a kinder tomorrow & self-actualization. Oftentimes, tomorrows can be overwhelming; filled with both potentials and uncertainty. I view tomorrows as a garden that needs tending in the present so the most lush potentials can grow. Gardens require emotional work that you may be unable to do alone for any number of reasons. This is why I offer my assistance. Not as a head gardener telling you what to do, or staff blindly following you, but as a comforting presence at your side to help you walk through your path and plants seeds for your desired tomorrows. My areas of expertise include emotional difficulties, depressive disorders, LGBTQIA+ issues, and personal growth/development. While these are the areas of expertise for myself, I maintain that therapy is not a “one way street” so to speak. I, as your therapist, walk with you to provide support and tools as you move towards your ideal self. I believe that all people deserve tomorrows that are brighter than their todays, and I hope I can assist you on that first step in planting your better tomorrow. For all my clients, I wish to one day sit with them in the beautiful garden they have created. To enjoy the fruits of their success, and perhaps share a lovely cup of tea with them. Let's begin your journey!

Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I specialize in integrative individual and couples therapy for the mind and body. My perspective on therapy starts with the central belief that if you listen to your clients, they will always tell you what's going on. While that may seem very basic, unfortunately, there is very little listening going on these days. When we are listened to and are unconditionally respected and accepted, we instinctively have the right stuff inside of us to figure out our issues. That's how we become empowered . That's how we grow. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming anxiety, relationship issues or depression. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, understanding and respect. And I will use the latest evidence-based techniques to support you in your journey Helping you find that inner strength and resolve is what makes me uniquely qualified to help.

I invite you to reach out to me, so that together we may build in you, what hinders you or blocks you from reaching your full potential. I am excited to start this recovery journey with you. Remember, no loitering with the intent to recover! See you soon.
