Therapists in Florida

Hi, my name is Luz, my pronouns are she/her/hers, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I worked as a teacher for over 15 years before making the journey into a community mental health career. I have experience in mobile crisis response, trauma, forensic mental health concerns. To explain who I am as a therapist, I reflect back to my role as an educator. In the classroom, there was a movement for the teacher to be less of a “sage on the stage” (teacher-centered approach) and more of a “guide on the side” (student-centered). To me, therapy is a lesson plan for a learning experience. It's a guide to develop what the client needs to learn in order to cope with whatever barriers are showing up in the client's life, whether that barrier is an internal issue, such as self-image, or how to cope with work stress. My therapeutic perspective is to provide empathetic, non-judgmental, compassionate guidance and support in an atmosphere of respect and safety while allowing clients to be the experts of their lives, much like “a co-pilot, a sous chef, or an assistant manager” of a client-therapist relationship. I use solution-focused elements to help move toward desired goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to help gain understanding and clarity. Outside of traditional therapy, I enjoy the practices of mindfulness, guided meditation, aromatherapy, and Reiki. Finding a therapist that's the right fit can be a challenging task, but taking that first step towards a healthier you is worth it. I look forward to working with you to help break down those barriers and make progress in areas that most matter to you.

My name is Nana-Stella Eugene, and I am a licensed clinical social worker and also have a doctorate degree in clinical psychology. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Haiti. I am ready to work with you to identify coping strategies and teach you the skills necessary to achieve your goal of living your best life. Change begins with hope, hope for a better outcome and a glimmer of possibility that something good will come to those who believe and take action.

On the surface, things are going well, but you've felt anxious for a long time. Poor sleep, struggling with relationships, and difficulty at work keep you feeling overwhelmed. You feel stuck and limited in your life. Your tendencies to people-please make it difficult to prioritize your own needs. At the same time, you realize something must change. Having spent the last several decades working with people like you, my main priority is to help you work through your anxiety, stuck-ness and overwhelm so you can finally feel at home in your own life. Together, we will work on what to do about anxiety, strengthening your relationships with others, and building a healthy life you are proud of. I am here to support and encourage you throughout the process. I specialize in working with adults with anxiety, depression and relationship issues. Anxiety can be complex, and it's normal to feel hesitant to start treatment. My approach balances genuine compassion and mindfulness with structured support toward growth. I believe that everyone can recover, and I strive to help my clients reach true mental wellness. Therapy for anxiety can be scary at first, but my warm, person centered approach focuses on helping clients accept themselves while also changing how they respond to stress and anxiety. I will support you in recognizing your triggers, practicing healthier coping skills, and feeling more empowered in your life. The decision to enter therapy can be a challenging one, especially if you've spoken to professionals before and left disappointed. Today, I invite you to reach out for something different. I want to offer you the valuable opportunity to look within yourself and access the strength and tools that will propel your life. Let's connect.

My name is Monica Miller. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Massachusetts, and Maryland. I have over 20 years of experience counseling children, parents, couples, and individuals. I received my Master's in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. As a transpersonal counselor, I view my clients' health through three lenses: Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual. While we may not discuss these in each of your sessions, they are always a part of your experience. I have experience working on personal growth, especially in the later stages of adolescence (ages 18-25). My familiarity with working with depression and anxiety allows me to help others in all stages of life.

Clients remain in control of pace, with emphasis on safety, nervous-system regulation, and integration. This work supports emotional regulation, anxiety management, stress reduction, and release of long-held emotional blocks. For couples, she offers a structured 12-session relationship-strengthening approach. She supports partners seeking improved communication, conflict resolution, trust rebuilding, marriage preparation or separation, effective co-parenting, reconnection after emotional distance, or early divorce navigation. Couples receive targeted exercises, relationship assessments, and customized homework supporting healthier communication and emotional regulation. Clients choose her for clarity, depth, and a direct yet compassionate approach focused on meaningful, fast lasting progress.

John Checkett is the first man in history to earn a master's degree in Women's Studies in Florida. How many times has this happened to you: You've made an innocent remark, and the other person distorts it and blames you for the distortion, not for what you actually said. That's called the Strawman Argument and is a common problem of communication -- communication typically being the single biggest problem couples have. Communication is one of the social sciences, and one of John's specialties, along with Women's Studies, Pastoral Psychology and Clinical Social Work. He helps high-functioning men and women free themselves from low self-esteem and negative thinking. As a former officer in the Theosophical Society and a former professional psychic, he firmly believes in the value of Spirituality to Mental Health. He can also help with exercise and nutrition, to help create a holistically healthy situation for you. Whether you're dealing with anxiety or depression, relationship problems, or just feel overwhelmed, Prof Checkett is here to help -- even with time management! You might feel bit nervous about starting therapy, but he's extremely easy to talk to, knowledgeable in a wide variety of subjects, and very media-literate. Most people feel better after a session. In a short time we can get you unstuck and back to living a happy life again.

I am the first person in my family to attend college and to this day the majority of my family does not speak English. My family raised me in a culture where family and relationships are highly valued. I feel very fortunate to have blended cultural values and morals, as this helps me better understand others from different cultures. Are you struggling with crippling guilt and anxiety? Are you caught in a spiral of worry or stress you can’t stop, constantly second-guessing yourself? You feel stuck in the loop of “what ifs”: “what if I fail?”, “what if I lose my job?”, etc. Has owning a business & battling the daily overwhelm of the constant anxious thoughts gotten to be more than you can handle? Are you a first/second gen who is feeling the exhaustion of being the first at everything? You're a tightrope walker, trying to balance others expectations with your own desires. You feel like you’re never “good enough” and are tired of the guilt. Is parenting an overachieving anxious teen leaving you feeling at a complete loss as to how to help them or where to even begin? Hi, I’m Tery, I specialize in anxiety with a special interest/focus in first/ second gen, entrepreneurs, and teens. If you’re looking for a therapist who can relate and will interweave authenticity with a refreshingly no-bullshit, direct approach, then you have come to the right place.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). I obtained my masters degree from NOVA Southeastern University. I have been practicing since 2015; I started out at a homeless shelter, moved to in-home family/parenting therapy and from there worked at a local high school for several years. Meanwhile, I was building my private practice working with clients suffering from addiction. Currently, I run my own private practice working with teens and adults looking for support for a variety of concerns. Please feel free to reach out and schedule a consultation prior to booking an appointment to ensure we are a good fit for each other!

Hi, I’m Jessica, a therapist who works with clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore emotions, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. My approach is practical, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I value collaboration and work at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in the way and find tools that support long-term growth and well-being.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, offering in-person and telehealth therapy. Many of the people I work with have been holding everything together for a long time and are realizing it’s finally time to prioritize their own well-being and put themselves first. I specialize in working with trauma survivors, depression and anxiety, and individuals in recovery from addiction. My clinical background includes working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, individuals with dual diagnoses, and those living with chronic mental illness. This experience has shaped a grounded, trauma-informed approach that meets people with care, steadiness, and respect for the complexity of their experiences. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while struggling internally with anxiety, low mood, or the lingering impact of past experiences that continue to affect their lives today. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and paced to your nervous system. Therapy with me focuses on helping you find relief from pain and anxiety while building a sense of safety that allows for deeper healing. Together, we work toward greater self-understanding and the ability to build a life that feels steadier, more meaningful, and aligned with who you are becoming.

As a counselor with a rich background in treating alcohol and drug addiction, I've tailored my approach to support and empower individuals navigating the complexities of recovery and personal growth. Integrating Person-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy, I offer a compassionate and effective blend of strategies designed to meet you where you are on your journey. Whether you're grappling with the challenges of addiction, seeking healing from trauma, or looking for brief, goal-oriented support, my practice is built on a foundation of understanding, validating, and guiding you toward your own motivations and strengths. I'm here to create a supportive, non-judgmental space that fosters self-discovery and empowers you to lead your recovery. My commitment is to provide personalized care that acknowledges your unique needs and aspirations, helping you to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-awareness.
