Therapists near me in Tampa, FL

Congratulations on taking one of the most difficult steps in your journey: reaching out for help! My name is Rian, and I am a licensed mental health counselor and certified group facilitation specialist with over fourteen years of experience in working with LGBTQ+ adults, youth and parents, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, eating disorders, relationship dynamics, marriage and family, and ethical non-monogamy, with a specialization in group facilitation and a Caribbean background.

Hello! I am John Getchell, an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. My career has taken me from federal prisons, to military hospitals, the VA, and private practice, where I have worked with trauma, depression, grief, OCD, and very complex family dynamics. My goal is to walk alongside you as we face life's challenges, helping you to find clarity, strength, and healthier ways of living. Together, we will work on creating real change so you can experience peace and freedom.

I have a Masters Degree in Social Work and am also a Master Reiki Therapist, Emotional Freedom Technique Practioner (EFT) and Advanced Level Intergrated Energy Therapist (IET) . Working with holistic methods in addition to traditional therapeutic modalities has been very transformational for many of my clients. Reiki, IET, sound and crystal healing along with aromatherapy in addition to traditional modalities allow my clients to heal on another level.

I specialize in working with clients who are motived, courageous, and open to exploring their inner world. My goal is to help others achieve their goals. As a licensed clinical social worker, I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, reflect, and better understand themselves. My approach is person centered and trauma-informed, with a strong foundation in cognitive behavioral and strengths based therapies. Even if clients are not quite sure what that looks like. I help clients by navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or life transitions. Most people are overwhelmed by pressure. What they tend to want most is clarity, peace, and to feel more connected. They're seeking safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts freely and begin to moe toward a life that feels more aligned and intentional.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, stress, grief, or unexpected changes leave you unsure of what comes next. Maybe you’re overthinking, feeling emotionally drained, coping with the loss of someone you love, or simply feeling unlike yourself. Hi, I’m Orly Krupkin. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship concerns, caregiving, and life transitions. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe to be yourself, speak openly, and feel genuinely heard. My approach is warm, compassionate, and person-centered, while incorporating evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness. Over the years, I’ve supported people in community, hospitals, and private practice, as well as specialized experience supporting hospice clients and their loved ones. This work has given me a deeper understanding of grief , loss, and emotional challenges that can come with significant changes in life, and what I’ve learned is that meaningful change starts when you feel truly heard. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can begin where you are and take things one step at a time, creating space for greater clarity, self-understanding, and meaningful change.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with experience working with children, teens, young adults, and adults.

I am trained in Polyvagal Theory, Guided Drawing, CBT, DBT, and I am EMDR-informed. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can process their experiences, build resilience, and improve their emotional well-being and interpersonal relationships.

I am a former supervisor of clinical services at a large managed care company, former Behavior Intervention Specialist, clinical trainer, independent consultant, group facilitator and Associate Professor of Psychology and Forensic Psychology.

Accepting insurance! If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, panic attacks, depression, stress, insomnia, chronic pain, or chronic illness, you don't have to face it alone. As an LCSW with over 15 years of psychotherapy experience, I provide compassionate, evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy to adults throughout Florida and Texas. With more than 20 years in the mental health field, I work with adults 18+, including many older adults (65+), helping clients better understand themselves, navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, and find relief that lasts. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of South Florida and an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology. Originally from Minnesota, I have lived and practiced in Florida for over 20 years.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I obtained both my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Social Work at Florida International University. I have over five years of experience helping teens, adults, and families in need of mental health services and/or medical/case management counseling. As a wife, mother, and therapist, I understand the importance of balancing personal responsibilities, relationships, self-care, and life’s many transitions. These roles have strengthened my appreciation for the unique challenges individuals and families face and the importance of creating space for personal growth, healing, and emotional well-being. I am the owner of Forevermore Counseling Services, LLC, licensed in AL, FL, IL, SC, and VA with the pursuit of more states, and utilizes empirical based interventions geared to your needs.

As a Therapist, I’m passionate about helping clients evolve into the best version of themselves. I specialize in supporting those navigating depression, anxiety, and life transitions, and I’m committed to breaking cycles of self-doubt, self-sabotage, and emotional pain rooted in trauma or cultural conditioning. My approach blends evidence-based practices, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Supportive Therapy, with a deep understanding of your unique story. At EJM Therapy, you’ll find a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can show up fully without shame or stigma. For many clients such as yourself, finding a place to share openly without fear of judgment can feel impossible. Somewhere you can laugh, cry, scream, or all three. Here, you are heard, seen, and supported. Therapy can be the recipe for unstoppable healing and unshakable peace. If you’re ready to move forward, I’d love to walk alongside you. Let’s talk.

Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm so glad you're here. It’s no small thing making the decision to sign up to talk to a stranger about the overwhelming and very often draining circumstances that you’re in. I want to highlight how much being on this site, and looking through profiles is such a significant step toward your mental health goals. Anxiety and improving self image are at the core of my work. I focus on helping clients develop flexible thinking and self-compassion — practical tools that help you step away from self-criticism and patterns that keep life feeling heavy. The goal of this work isn't about becoming a perfect version of yourself. It's about learning to navigate life's challenges with greater flexibility, confidence, and self-understanding.

I'm so glad you're here! I'm an LICSW with over 20 years of experience working with a wide range of clients. My background includes extensive experience serving children, teens, young adults, parents, and families in an outpatient setting. I bring a casual, down to earth approach to therapy with a focus on making the process feel approachable and positive. If you're someone who is feeling hesitant to start therapy for yourself or your child, or you’ve struggled to find a therapist who is a good fit; know that my first priority is to make it feel comfortable, natural and so much less daunting than you might be thinking. Just book a session and show up. Leap and the net will appear! A little more about me: I'm a Minnesota native currently living in Florida. I spend a lot of my time as a sports mom on the sidelines at soccer and volleyball games, watching professional hockey (especially the MN Wild!), and being hopelessly bad at gardening in Florida.

Hi, I’m Kim, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addiction Counselor (CAC) with over 15 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, substance use concerns, and difficult life transitions. I am trained in EMDR and have a particular interest in helping clients process painful experiences and move toward healing at a pace that feels safe and manageable. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. I believe meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, respected, and free from judgment. Together, we can explore how past experiences, relationships, thoughts, emotions, and patterns of substance use or other coping behaviors may be affecting your life while developing healthier ways of coping and responding. I integrate EMDR with evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My work emphasizes emotional regulation, self-awareness, healthy boundaries, communication, self-compassion, and practical coping skills. When addressing substance use, I provide a nonjudgmental space to explore triggers, motivation for change, underlying emotional needs, and healthier strategies for managing stress and difficult emotions. I recognize that trauma, grief, mental health concerns, and substance use can be interconnected. Painful experiences may influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and cope with distress. I approach this work with careful attention to emotional safety, preparation, stabilization, and readiness. Therapy does not need to be rushed. I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship where you can feel comfortable exploring difficult experiences, recognizing your strengths, and making meaningful changes that feel realistic and sustainable. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you better understand what you are carrying, and support you in building greater confidence, resilience, healthier coping strategies, and trust in yourself as you move forward.

Nǐ hǎo / Hello! I am a licensed mental health therapist in Florida with over 20 years of experience helping individuals work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, school-related stress, relationship issues, and major life challenges. Many of the people I support come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally drained, or unsure how to move forward. I believe therapy works best when goals are clear, practical, and measurable, so we can track progress in a meaningful way. I also believe humor can be a powerful part of healing, helping create a more relaxed and human space for growth. I believe strong therapy starts with listening, truly understanding who you are, what you have been through, and what matters most to you. I use evidence-based treatment to help clients address anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship stress, school concerns, and emotional overwhelm. Together, we set goals that align with your values. In my leisure time I play music instruments, I enjoy cooking, Hotpot is my favorite food.

Hi, I’m Susan—a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Addictions Professional, and Substance Abuse Professional. I hold a master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of West Florida and have been working in the mental health and substance abuse field since 2009 (licensed since 2012). My approach is grounded in empathy, active listening, and real partnership. I work as hard as you do to help you return to your best self. I believe lasting change happens between sessions—so I give you practical tools and support, but the real healing comes from what you do with them. I’ve worked in private practice, addiction clinics, homeless veteran services, military family counseling, and the county jail. Outside of work, I enjoy walking, biking, swimming, travel, cooking, gardening, and time with loved ones.

Seeking support is a courageous first step, and I am honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing and growth. As a compassionate, empathetic, and solution-focused therapist, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and understood. With over 13 years of clinical experience, I work with adults facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based practices, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions, to help clients gain insight into unhelpful patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and build on their existing strengths. I believe that meaningful change occurs when clients feel empowered to understand themselves more deeply and take intentional steps toward the life they want to create. My goal is to help you move beyond surviving and toward thriving with greater confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've spent my career supporting children, parents, and families through some of life's most challenging moments. My background includes working in the NICU, early childhood mental health, and supporting families navigating trauma, medical complexity, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I am especially passionate about working with women during pregnancy and postpartum, parents, caregivers, and individuals who have spent so much time caring for others that they've forgotten how to care for themselves.

Hi, I'm Jacob. I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where we can work together to understand what you're carrying, build on your strengths, and help you move toward lasting healing. My passion for this work comes from my own life experiences. As a young person, I lived through significant trauma, including abuse and profound loss. Like many people, I searched for ways to cope before I had healthy support. My healing journey began when I started serving others, which eventually led me to become an EMDR therapist. Experiencing EMDR for myself transformed the way I understood healing and inspired me to pursue advanced training and certification. Today, I use EMDR alongside a client-centered approach, always meeting you where you are. I believe healing is possible, even when it doesn't feel that way right now. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels comfortable while helping you process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful change in your life.

I am a doctoral level professional therapist who can help you reflect and grow in your daily life through gentle challenges. My ideal client is someone who is ready and open to change/self-improvement. You are the expert in your own life; I would like to help you access that power and knowledge in a readily available way. I look forward to working with you.

My approach to therapy is solution-focused, compassionate, and centered on helping clients build lasting skills. Rather than simply helping someone get through the current crisis, I want to equip them with the tools they need to navigate future challenges with greater confidence and independence. I focus on identifying and addressing the underlying issues that drive recurring patterns, whether that's unresolved childhood trauma, deeply held negative beliefs about oneself, or other core experiences. My goal is to help clients process those experiences, challenge unhelpful cognitions, and develop healthier, more adaptive beliefs about themselves. While it's important to acknowledge and address what's happening in a client's life right now, I believe lasting change comes from understanding and working through the deeper patterns that contribute to those challenges. I strive to balance supporting clients through present-day concerns with helping them create meaningful, long-term change.

I bring years of clinical experience across school-based social work, foster care, supportive housing, and outpatient therapy in New York and Florida. I work with clients of all ages, from early childhood through late adulthood.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you feel supported, understood, and also empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. My approach is warm, direct, practical, and trauma-informed. I enjoy helping clients understand the deeper patterns behind their emotions, relationships, behaviors, and reactions while developing healthier ways to cope, communicate, set boundaries, and move forward. I work especially well with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-worth concerns, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty establishing healthy boundaries. I believe insight is important, but therapy should also give you tools you can actually use outside of the session. As a therapist, I am compassionate but straightforward. I will meet you where you are without judgment, while also encouraging you to challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you. My goal is to help you develop a stronger understanding of yourself, trust your own judgment, regulate your emotions more effectively, and create a life and relationships that feel healthier, calmer, and more aligned with who you want to be.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that taking care of your mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in yourself. Reaching out for help isn’t easy, so I want to start by acknowledging the strength it takes to take that first step. I’ve worked with clients from many walks of life, but my primary focus is helping adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges find clarity, peace, and balance again.

I’m Dr. Nwabu, a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that healing begins when you have a safe space to slow down, be honest with yourself, and reconnect with who you are.

Hello! My name is Elise Nerenberg. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey and Florida. I earned a Bachelor's degree of Social Work from Penn State and a Master's degree from Fordham Graduate School of Social Service. For over 19 years, I have been working in private practice with individuals, couples and families that deal with anxiety, depression and relationship issues.

Hello, I have been a clinical social worker for over 30 years. I have a warm and calm demeanor. I work with people with mood disorders, chronic pain and other chronic medical issues. I also work with insomnia, women's concerns including post-menopausal issues, and trauma. I enjoy mindfulness and moving meditative practices.

I am an understanding and dedicated licensed clinical social worker with experience supporting individuals and families through complex mental health, medical, and social challenges. My practice focuses on providing client-centered support, advocacy, and practical interventions tailored to each person’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Life is full of change, and sometimes those changes can feel overwhelming. I believe there is no single “right way” to handle life’s challenges, which is why I take a person-centered and integrative approach to therapy. My goal is to help you feel supported and more at ease with where you are while working toward where you want to be. Over the past 12 years, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of approaches including expressive arts therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, yoga, nature-based practices, nutrition, and relationship work. I enjoy bringing creativity and flexibility into sessions so that we can find what works best for you. I have a strong background in helping clients with worry, low mood, and spiritual concerns, and I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable exploring any challenge you’re facing. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Saint Leo University with a specialization in Advanced Clinical Practice. Before that, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication, with minors in Film and Creative Writing. My professional experience spans a variety of settings, including community health centers, private practice, child welfare, schools, nonprofits, and the Department of Veteran Affairs.

I work with cash-pay clients located in these states.

I help teens and women heal from complex childhood trauma, neglect, and abuse—especially when those experiences show up as people-pleasing, identity loss, painful relationships, intense emotions, or a complicated relationship with food and their bodies. I became a therapist because this work genuinely matters to me. Over the past nine years, I have seen how trauma can remain hidden beneath perfectionism, overachievement, unhealthy relationships, disordered eating, and the feeling that you have no idea who you are because you spent so long surviving. I also understand that trauma symptoms are frequently misunderstood, treated only at the surface, or confused with features associated with diagnoses such as Borderline Personality Disorder or Bipolar Disorder. I take time to understand the whole person—not just the label. I am warm, down-to-earth, and honest. I balance validation with respectfully challenging the beliefs and behaviors that keep you stuck. I have ADHD, three tiny chihuahua coworkers named Bryn, Blair, and Bowie, plus licenses to provide therapy in Florida, Illinois, Texas, and Colorado. I am proudly a girls’ girl, and my practice is mainly focused on the mental health and relational experiences of teens and women. *I generally do not work with men for therapy*

My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, life transitions, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My primary goal is to provide a safe and bold space for you to navigate through emotional discomfort toward healing. Taking this first step on your journey to healing takes courage and my goal is to support my client along the way.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the States of Florida and Texas. I graduated in 2009 from Nova Southeastern University in Florida with a Masters of Science. I speak English, Spanish and Arabic. I maintain a general practice working mainly with adults. I identify myself as a brief systemic solution oriented therapist. As a professional, I am intensely interested in a lifelong learning and continuing to master the healing arts of therapy. I am curious about people and their stories, their strengths , their struggles and their resources. My strength as a therapist is in being empathetic, authentic, challenging and intuitively sensitive to my client's needs. My treatment philosophy is that I find each person and each situation different. I believe that people have internal resources that are available to help bring about a successful resolution to life's challenges. I approach my clients with warmth and a non-judgmental style.

Hello and welcome! If you are seeking help with relationships, marriage, addiction, depression, or anxiety, and you are ready to put in the work, I would be honored to assist you. If you've decided you want something different and better in your life, I am here to support you on your journey to find happiness within and become your best self. The reward of a happier and more fulfilling life at the end of this journey far outweighs the struggles and efforts it takes to achieve this transformation. I want to reassure you that people do heal, and I am deeply committed to helping you create your unique story of growth and healing. Your journey is unique, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

Do you find yourself achieving outward success yet feeling inwardly unsatisfied or burdened? Despite managing daily tasks and reaching goals, you may struggle to authentically connect with yourself, impacting your relationships, work, finances, and overall happiness. It's time to break free from this cycle! I specialize in helping individuals uncover underlying hurts, pains, and traumas that often hide behind "high-functioning" depression/anxiety, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. As a licensed clinical social worker grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with over 6 years of experience, I am dedicated to transforming negative thought patterns and behaviors. My approach is warm, supportive, and inquisitive. I have a knack for seeing the positive in any situation, fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment where I integrate interests like reading, arts, crafts, and music/art into sessions. Together, in a supportive and non-judgmental space, we can explore these emotions and rediscover your authentic self. If you're ready to embark on a journey toward inner healing, I invite you to take the next step. Let's cultivate resilience, self-awareness, and fulfillment in your life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here to offer support to you as you navigate through the challenges of life. I believe in a therapeutic alliance based on trust and open communication. I will use active listening and empathy as we approach your personal struggles such as: grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and parenting. You will find a space free of judgment and full of hope as we work toward healing and an improved sense of wellbeing.
