Therapists near me in Tampa, FL

Hi, I'm Cindy. I'm a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist who believes healing is possible, no matter how stuck you may feel. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, and divorce, providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is warm, genuine, and direct. I don't believe therapy should feel like repeating the same story every week without making progress. Together, we'll identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, process past experiences that continue to impact your present, and develop practical tools that help you create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, grieving a loss, struggling in your relationships, or navigating a major life transition, I'll meet you where you are. My goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence, self-awareness, and purpose.

Are you struggling with challenges that affect your emotional health and wellbeing? Do past experiences feel like they're limiting your potential? Are you looking for a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings? I'm a licensed psychotherapist who believes the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful catalyst for change. My goal is to partner with you toward your desired goals in a supportive, collaborative environment — working together to foster positive change and build strategies for self-empowerment. I'm trained in EMDR therapy, based on the idea that our brains have a natural system for processing experiences so we can retain what serves our growth. When disturbing experiences overwhelm that system — or we lack the context to make sense of what happened — the effects can linger. EMDR uses bilateral (left-right) stimulation to activate the brain's natural processing system, helping you work through difficult experiences and release what no longer serves you. I believe our past shapes our present and future, in both adaptive and maladaptive ways. I'd be honored to help you on your journey toward inner peace, self-love, and fulfillment.

Hi! My name is Moriah E. McCarthy. I am a licensed mental health counselor that believes in a holistic and blended approach with respect for the mind-body-spirit connection. Mental health is a pivotal component of all wellness. Treatment with me blends the exploration of the past and the deepening of insight with more concrete interventions and a forward-focused momentum.
