Hi, I’m Sarah Ortiz, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I support adults navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction recovery, life transitions, and burnout—especially those in high-pressure or caregiving roles. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
I understand the emotional weight carried by those who show up for others every day, often without space to process their own needs. Whether we’re working through a critical incident or everyday stress, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.
I often work with clients experiencing racing thoughts, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, or feeling disconnected from themselves and their values. Authenticity is central to my approach—I aim to show up as a real person so you can too.
I offer virtual therapy throughout the week and in-person sessions on Fridays only in Tampa for clients who prefer face-to-face work.

Tallahassee, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Hello, I’m Davia, and I’m of Jamaican descent.
Seeking mental health counseling is normalizing because mental health professionals continue to speak about, advocate for, and accept its presence in our clients’ lives. You are not alone if you seek mental health counseling. In fact, you are courageous and aware that getting help is a sign of indomitable strength.
Are you lacking boundaries or wondering why life seems topsy-turvy? Do you function in survival mode but struggle with exhaustion or burnout?
I help clients develop mindfulness to reduce stress, anxiety, or depression while increasing balance and a healthy lifestyle.
We will work together to identify areas that are out of alignment. In our sessions together, I will utilize evidence-based techniques along with grace and compassion so you can increase your awareness and confidence.
Welcome to your journey of healing!

Hello and Welcome! I'm Christy.
Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to a wide array of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and/or self-care, just to name a few. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker based in Miami, Florida. I earned my graduate degree from Florida International University in 2010 and have been licensed since 2016.
My career began at Banyan Health Systems (formerly Miami Behavioral), where I worked as an adult mental health case manager back in 2004. After gaining my Masters degree, I continued to work for Banyan as a Child outpatient therapist and intake specialist. As a mother of three, I am deeply committed to family and believe that "family over everything" is the foundation of my personal and professional life. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, spending time with my husband and three children, going to the beach and embracing the vibrant energy of my Miami roots.

Narcissists weaponize by their reactivity. If you do something they don't like they make you feel guilty. Guilt is associated with having done something wrong and the guilt is the glue that holds these relationships together.

In addition I also provide supervision for licensure.

I have worked as a mental health counselor for five years. However, I have been in the field of helping people for 18 years, starting as a case manager at a homeless shelter and later as a special education teacher. What can I can say? People are my niche.
Helping individuals get through life's difficulties is my purpose. The thing about it is, we may not be able to live 100% symptom-free, but we can live productive, fulfilling lives even with some discomfort. That may sound daunting, but I think it's realistic. Do you know why? Because even when we get through one thing, another thing is somewhere on the timeline waiting. I'm here to help you get through your "thing" now and prepare you for your "thing" later.

Are you experiencing challenges that are interfering with your emotional health and wellbeing? Do you feel your past experiences are affecting your ability to reach your full potential? Do you need a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings and engage in self exploration?
I am a licensed psychotherapist who believes the most important catalyst for change is the relationship between therapist and client. My goal is to partner with you to reach your desired goals in a therapeutic environment. We will take the necessary steps together to foster positive change while creating individual strategies for self-empowerment.
I have been trained in EMDR therapy which is a theory based on the belief that our brains have a natural system for processing information and experiences so that we can keep what we need for wisdom, learning, and growth. Sometimes disturbing experiences overwhelm the processing system, or we don't have the information we need for our brains to make sense of what happened in a healthy way. EMDR uses eye movements and other right-left stimulation to activate your brain's processing system so you can successfully process the experience and let go of what's not useful to you.
I believe our past effects our present and future- both in adaptative and maladaptive ways. I would be honored to be a part of your journey to inner peace, self-love, and fulfillment.

Lutz, FL - Accepting clients in FL
Hi! I am a heterosexual cisgender woman, and my husband and I have a 15 year old son. I'm originally from St. Louis, Missouri but I have lived in Florida for 34 years and it's my home. I hate snow.
I think of myself as a girl-next-door therapist. New clients often tell me I'm easy to talk to. I like to use humor whenever possible. My approach is gentle and humble. I'll never go beyond your comfort level of discussion. My office is where you can spew your thoughts, cry, talk about yourself and even the thoughts you have that would be offensive to others. I have had clients say things about their life that would not be acceptable in most settings, and being able to talk about it is often very freeing.
I became a master's level social worker at 32, and my life experience prior to that enabled my ability to understand different types of people and what motivates them. I've been in this field for 16 years and I have worked in foster care, hospice and other medical settings and outpatient mental health settings.
