Therapists in Florida

"Hi, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience working with individuals and couples, both inpatient and outpatient; also online and in private practice. My specialty areas include Addictions, Depression, Bipolar, ADHD, OCD, GRIEF & BEREAVEMENT. I am a Qualified Supervisor, and Qualified Professional in the State of Florida. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.

My mission is simple: to provide a safe, supportive, and open environment where you can do the work—your work—at your own pace. I have had the opportunity to work with and serve some of the most amazing people I've ever met in various work environments including private, group, residential, hospital and emergency settings and it would be my honor to work with you as well.

Adults seeking improve your current work/life balance, self-esteem, and overall mental stability day to day. You find balancing your professional career, personal relationships, and finances can be stressful and overwhelming. You may feel frustrated, scared, discouraged, or confused. Im here to help individuals overcome such issues. Through therapy addressing the circumstances and past experiences leading to these felling's, I create a safe place to allow individuals to move forward to transform into successful, empowered, and healthy individuals. My typical clientele includes health care workers, first responders and professional/career focused individuals and more. My first-hand experience of over ten years working in such environments (hospital, corporate roles, etc) allows me to emphasize and relate, creating a foundation for a successful therapeutic journey. I am a graduate of The University of Central Florida and offer telehealth services throughout the State of Florida.

Your experiences, ideas, and perceptions are important to me. No matter what issue you are seeking help with, I am here to listen and guide you on a path that is specific to you and your needs. I am a down-to-earth, gentle, and kind person who wants to learn about what you’re going through in your own words. Your experiences and aspirations are at the heart of the work we will do together. If you are looking for a therapist who cares to see the real you and is genuinely interested in helping you find a path that suits your needs, I would love to have the opportunity to speak with you. I've got 8 years of experience in outpatient therapy. I enjoy working with people who feel like they are giving therapy one last try because they have not had much luck before. I enjoy working with people who have chronic mental illness which seems like they are stuck with maintaining their progress. I am more than willing and able to work with anybody who is ready to give this a try!

I'm a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to helping individuals navigate challenges such as substance abuse, trauma, depression, and other emotional or behavioral challenges. I work with adults who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward, and I provide a supportive space to explore new ways of thinking and coping. My goal is to help you build healthier habits, strengthen connections, and create lasting and meaningful change.

Nice to meet you, I am Jackson. I’m a therapist whose journey to this work began behind the bar, where I learned the art of truly listening and connecting with people from all walks of life. My clients often tell me that talking with me feels like catching up with a good friend—comfortable and real—while also knowing they’re in the hands of someone clinically grounded and thoughtful. I draw from psychodynamic and relational approaches, always emphasizing the importance of genuine human connection in the healing process. I’m trauma-informed and bring my own lived experiences into the room, helping clients feel seen and understood without judgment. My lifelong commitment to health and wellness—including earning a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, surfing, and practicing yoga—deepens the mind-body awareness I bring to my work and has been pivotal on my own path. Whether we’re unpacking the past or navigating the present, I strive to create a space that is compassionate, authentic, and attuned to your whole self.

Having been trained to the highest level in several Healing modalities and spending over 2 decades solving a wide range of emotional experiences resulting from life stressors and /or traumatic events, I value creative, out of the box solutions that serve to uplift people from emotional suffering. I'm also a lover of continued learning in the art of communication. In addition to my private practice I continue to teach as an associate trainer for the Institute of Rapid Resolution Therapy , and provide consulting services to agencies that treat individuals that struggle with substance abuse.

DeMarkus Grayson-Rhule has been practicing systemic therapy since 2019, utilizing this training in various contexts, such as crisis intervention and school-based care. My approach to therapy is a collaborative and solution-focused one, where we tackle the set goals together. I believe client's already have the tools necessary to confront their problems and that we tend to forget that. Thus it is my goal to help my clients figure out which tools to use when facing problems.

Hi! My name is Noor. I am warm, empathic, perceptive, and wise. I have worked with a diverse range of clients over half a decade, helping them each to find a unique pathway towards healing and wholeness. For each person, this has looked different, whether it's processing deep grief or heartbreak, learning to forgive one's self or another, discovering a core sense of worth (again), unearthing a buried sense of power, learning to say “No”, asserting fundamental needs, upgrading to healthy coping mechanisms, healing from traumas (small or big), or evolving out of self-sabotage. We each have our own afflictions and unique "cross to bear." I can help you feel less alone in holding yours. Specifically, I specialize in supporting clients struggling with issues of worth, belonging, grief, forgiveness, heartbreak, relationship & communication challenges, God wounds, burnout, managing chronic health issues, and inner child work. I attune to each client's individual needs and personalize my service to meet you exactly where you are at. My approach is human and relational. Therapy with me won’t feel clinical or formulaic. I work holistically, paying attention to your emotions, your body, and the deeper parts of you asking for integration and care. I also carry a depathologizing lens — I don’t view you as a diagnosis, in which something is "wrong" with you, but as a whole person with an important, meaningful story to share.

Hello, I’m Jose and I am a Licensed Mental Health psychotherapist. As a therapist, I believe that a kind and supportive, client-focused approach is fundamental in helping navigate the many challenges that life can bring. I like to provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental, safe, and supportive space where we can explore and address the various thoughts, emotions, experiences, etc. that pose a challenge in everyday life. Life can bring about many challenges and at times, seeking professional support can help manage these challenges. I take pride in being able to meet my clients where they are as we explore what therapy have to offer. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting but I’m here to explore any obstacles you may face. My goal is to help you understand yourself more.

Struggling to be kind to yourself? Difficulties keeping up with your relationships, work, and health? Looking for some guidance on finding meaning and making the most of your life? Are there obstacles in your path, past traumas, anxiety, or other stressors holding you back from being your best self? Allow me to be a compassionate counselor, healer, and guide on your life journey. I will empower you to identify and achieve your goals through a client-centered, humanistic approach tailored to your needs. My background includes clients working through issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship issues, guilt, fears, terminal and chronic illnesses, spirituality, self-esteem, career and life uncertainties, addictions, and those just looking for an empathetic ear to listen or offer helpful feedback. Many psychotherapists attempt to use their preferred modality as a "one size fits all" treatment. While I stay up-to-date and am able to offer the current and most effective evidence-based modalities, including CBT, ACT, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based therapy, I believe the therapeutic relationship between us is the most valuable tool. Together, we will craft and develop the best custom plan for your needs and desires, incorporating the therapeutic techniques we deem most useful for you. Join me in a completely safe, judgment-free, and confidential space to share, heal, smile, grow, succeed, laugh, and become your best self. No better time than the present to create your desired future, schedule an appointment with me today.

Hi, I'm David Hobbs. I’ve been practicing as a licensed psychologist for more than 25 years, primarily utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy as an effective tool to treat anxiety and depression. As these can be emotionally debilitating conditions, addressing these issues can improve one’s sense of well-being, and thus their lives in general, dramatically. For the past 5 years, I have incorporated spirituality into my treatment regimen, thus addressing that aspect of one's personality in relation to their overall psychological well-being.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents and adults in managing anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. With advanced training in counselor education and supervision, I integrate academic insight with hands-on clinical practice to deliver effective, evidence-based care. My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and person-centered counseling to foster resilience, clarity, and growth. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients develop the tools they need to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create lasting, meaningful change.

I would describe myself as a goofy and radically empathetic therapist that struggles with severe ADHD and also anxiety. Not to mention the grief! I am big on being vulnerable myself. We must lead by example. I also am a strong believer in the power of connection. If you cannot connect with your therapist, research says that therapy is not likely to be effective. I prioritize the therapeutic relationship above all else. That is my foundation. That means I pride myself on not being a robot. I cannot believe I have to say this, but many students in therapy have told me that they have had robotic therapist. That is not me. I believe the most powerful therapeutic techniques are empathy and unconditional love, and those are the values I do my best to display consistently. I currently provide individual counseling to students at Miami Dade College and I have found that I really enjoy working with college students that recently graduated from high school. I find that the world treats them cruelly at such an overwhelming time of their lives and they deserve unconditional love, not tough love.

As a former CPA/business owner I bring my unique life’s experiences of serving clients, coaching teams of business professionals and personal growth to the field of counseling. As a business leader, husband and father of, now, young adults, I spent many hours with my own coaches and therapists who helped me understand my struggles and explore my strengths and weaknesses to make myself and those around me better. I use a client/couple/family-centered strength-based approach to psychotherapy that focuses on You Shaping You. The Couple Shaping the Couple. The Family shaping the Family.

It is time to invest yourself! The first step to changing our circumstances is acknowledging something isn’t working. The process of change takes courage. My approach in counseling is to create an encouraging environment which my clients can find the strength to make those first steps into the unknown. I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a bachelors degree in science of psychology and a minor in communication. I then went on to receive a Masters degree in counseling from Webster University. After my education I went on to gain clinical experience in many different areas over the next 18 years including, but not limited to inpatient psychiatric facilities, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, group therapy, marriage and family counseling, individual counseling, and substance abuse counseling. Licensed in the state of FLorida (MH10911) as a mental health counselor, I aim to provide quality care. I specialize in couples counseling, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, mens issues, family therapy, job stress, interpersonal issues, child therapy, and most other conditions. I look forward to assisting you on you journey to wellness! Below is a link to my book, "8 solutions for wining the war of you vs you" https://a.co/d/2hOjUOt

I work with the client's envisioned goals in mind first and foremost. I want to be able to build upon someone's strengths and eliminate feelings of inferiority. I like to help people work towards the best version of themselves and to gain independence by pushing past their limitations. If you find that you don't have the confidence to approach life and accomplish your goals then let's have a conversation and make this possible for you again. I truly believe everyone is capable of pushing past their limitations if given the insight and willingness to step out of their comfort zones.

I graduated in 1999 with a degree in counseling from Portland State University. I interned couple thousand hours, then took a quick 20 years off.

I like using an eclectic style, picking the strategies and tools from all around, to provide the best service to my client.

Hello, I’m Brian Smerdon, a licensed therapist and founder of Mindensity Mental Health. My passion is helping older adults and their families feel seen, supported, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges. With a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and ongoing doctoral work, I blend evidence-based care with a compassionate, culturally attuned approach. I believe therapy should feel safe, dignified, and accessible—never clinical or intimidating. Beyond the therapy room, I specialize in creative outreach: designing senior-friendly resources, animated videos, and community education that make mental health approachable. Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, depression, grief, or simply want to strengthen resilience, I meet you where you are with empathy and clarity. My goal is simple: to normalize mental health care for seniors and their families, and to create spaces where healing feels both personal and empowering.

I'd first like to recognize the strength it has taken to reach this stage in your growth and healing. Seeking assistance can often be an overwhelming task, but you're on the right path! I have had the privilege of accompanying people on their path towards "something better" for roughly ten years, of which the last four have been spent as an independently practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am relaxed, direct, and I strive to make every moment within our work together as productive as possible. I'm accessible and easygoing. I also happen to think that I'm pretty funny, so at least I have that going for me!

Hi, I’m CJ, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist making me ideally situation to work with individuals, families, and couples, creating lasting change by fostering a space where they feel seen and heard. Here, you can lay down the mask you have been carrying and embrace who you are beneath it's confines. We all develop behaviors to navigate life’s challenges. Some help us feel comfortable or seen, while others are employed as survival mechanisms. A behavior will only work for us until it no longer serves us; what succeeded in one setting may fail in another. They are not one size fits all. My goal in working with a client is to help them see the difference, meet it with curiosity, and then move towards which behaviors need adjusting. In a world rewarding performance, we cut through the noise so you can embrace who you are, not who you feel you are expected to be.

My clients are people who want to move from feeling "stuck" to having a greater sense of purpose, empowerment and clarity. My approach to counseling uses a relational model that creates a safe environment where I encourage my clients to develop resiliency and self-empowerment. Life is very hard. My goal is to have each person leave a session feeling more capable to handle whatever life throws at them.

Hi! Jose here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and deeply passionate about the work I do. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Florida International University in 2019 and became licensed in 2022. I have several years of experience in a community mental health agency, working with children, adolescents, and families, as well as providing crisis intervention for clients at high risk of psychiatric hospitalization. I also support adults navigating work-related stress, financial difficulties, PTSD, and trauma connected to their careers. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to heal, grow, and achieve lasting positive change.

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.

Hello, I’m Edmundo Carrion. I work with adults who are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and the lingering impact of difficult experiences.

I believe meaningful change happens when you feel understood, supported, and empowered. In our work together, we’ll focus on building practical skills, strengthening insight, and reconnecting you with the strengths you already have. My goal is to help you feel more confident, balanced, and capable of moving forward in your life.

Hello, My name is Moises Ramy. I am a licensed mental health therapist, a Qualified Supervisor in the State of Florida, and a doctor of psychology. I graduated as a Doctor of Clinical Psychology from Carlos Albizu University, Miami Campus and completed my doctoral internship at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Lexington, Kentucky. At that time, the mission of FMC was a federal prison/hospital for incarcerated females with medical and psychological conditions. During my doctoral internship, I completed three clinical rotations. Two at FMC, in the Crisis Wing and in the General Population Unit and an elective rotation at Ridge Behavioral Health System (formerly Charter Ridge Hospital of Lexington), Lexington, Kentucky, assessing suicidality of adolescents in crisis from the Lexington area and the Appalachians. My clinical spectrum covers diverse females and males, LGBTQ+ members, homeless veterans, and young college students experiencing moderate to severe adjustment problems as well as older adult issues. During these clinical years, I have acquired vast experience helping clients from all walks of life struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal conflicts, bipolar disorder, gender and sexual identity issues, abuse and trauma, and substance abuse. I have offered most of my clinical services in different prisons and rehabilitation centers, private and community mental health hospitals, and veteran homeless organizations. My exposure and experience working with these populations have extraordinarily helped me become a more empathetic, non-judgmental and non-directive clinician. My whole idea about psychotherapy is helping clients to help themselves so that they work on solutions, develop the strength to cope with their everyday challenges and regain competence and control of their lives.

I also offer faith-based counseling for clients who want to integrate their spirituality into treatment, recognizing the powerful role faith can play in resilience and emotional wellness. I value the unique identity and lived experiences of every client and strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where honesty, vulnerability, and personal growth can occur. I believe that healing is not a one-size-fits-all process. Together, we will explore what is getting in the way of the life you want and build practical skills and insights that support long-lasting change.

In therapy, I draw from Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), DBT skills, and ACT to enable people process trauma, manage distress, and build resilience. I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from Nova Southeastern University, where my research explored health disparities among sexual minority men with histories of prolonged abuse. I examined the relationship between HIV and PTSD, looking at how these experiences impact treatment and healing. Over the years, I’ve supported clients from many different backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ adults, in working through trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. My priority is to create a compassionate, supportive space where clients feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow.

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents with any problem but specialize working through trauma and/or abandonment issues. I am uniquely suited to offer therapy to individuals with high IQ’s who may have difficulties connecting with the emotional side of therapy. I love working with the geek population and offer therapeutic Dungeons & Dragons™ services. I am also a trained rehabilitation therapist, so if you’re struggling with what you do with your life/career or have a highschooler wondering what trade or college path is a good fit, I can do career counseling. Thank you for doing the brave thing seeking therapy. I look forward to helping you grow!

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a proud Army veteran. My time in the military taught me resilience, discipline, and how to face challenges head on and I bring that same mindset into my work as a therapist. I understand that reaching out for support takes courage, and my goal is to honor that step by providing a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I work with adults and fellow veterans navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, helping them find tools that create real change in everyday life.

As an integrative Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), I draw on a variety of therapeutic modalities to support and empower you on your journey of self-discovery and growth.

Hi! My name is Shalom Adler ,and I am excited to be a part of the Grow Therapy team. We all want to live a meaningful and stress-free life, and while I cannot guarantee that you will not experience stress (we all do), I can help you navigate and cope with all that life throws at you. As the great psychiatrist Viktor Frankl says, “There is nothing in the world … that would so effectively help one to survive even the worst conditions as the knowledge that there is a meaning in one's life.” I have over thirty years of experience in helping, guiding and counseling individuals, couples and families. I treat everyone the way I would like to be treated, with respect, compassion, dignity and empathy. I have faced my own mental health challenges over the years, and this gives me a unique perspective that will help me help you. I will not attempt to model you in my image, but I will work as hard as I can to help you reach your fullest potential and overcome your own challenges. I will meet you where you are and evaluate your strengths and needs. We will work collaboratively to achieve your goals and aspirations.
