Therapists near me in Tampa, FL

Hello, I am Juliet Are you at the point where you know something has to change? I help adults cope with the challenges of being a caregiver while struggling with anxiety and depression, teaching you techniques that will allow you to realize your strengths and maximize your potential. The fact that so many of us work to make ends meet or support our passions, along with juggling family life and work responsibilities, leaves us feeling overwhelmed. This roller coaster ride of caregiving may seem endless. Know that you are not alone; caregivers can feel overwhelmed with grief, racing thoughts, on edge, or stagnant and need a soft guide to help them move through the Journey. My services come with a unique approach to telehealth therapy. The decision to seek help takes courage, and I want to support you in rebuilding your sense of self and the world around you. Perhaps you feel disconnected from the life you want or overwhelmed with the day-to-day aspects of being a parent, spouse, or caretaker. By working with you, I want to help you identify the areas of your life that are troubling you and help you improve your self-awareness, grow as a person, and regain your self-confidence. Now is the time to take the first step toward change. Let's talk!

I'm a mental health and addictions counselor with over 11 years of experience supporting individuals and couples. In my work with individuals, my main focus is the therapeutic relationship and an insight-oriented process. Research shows that the therapeutic alliance is a key factor in successful therapy, and it remains the one thing chatbots, apps, and self-help books can’t replace. My approach is therefore humanistic and psychodynamic. With empathy, acceptance, and compassion, I help you explore the patterns that have kept you stuck and foster the insight needed to finally break free. In my work with couples, I offer Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Backed by decades of research, this approach helps partners understand the deeper emotional patterns driving conflict and disconnection. We will work together to help you rebuild emotional safety, strengthen connection, and create more secure and satisfying ways of relating.

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. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time in nature, watching movies, and participating in the arts. I am licensed in Florida, Idaho, South Carolina, and Utah. 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*

Hello and welcome to my page, bienvenidos a mi pagina, I am originally a native to the Los Angeles area and have a Mexican American background. I am bilingual in both English and Spanish. I look forward to building a therapeutic relationship with you by providing support and guidance as we navigate the challenges you experience in your life. It can be difficult to be vulnerable and open when you are experiencing feelings of hopelessness or loss of motivation. I honor your courageousness in embarking on your road to recovery, awareness, and growth. We can assess where you are and where to begin; this journey is led by you. I am here to meet you where you are and as you are. I approach life with the understanding that pain is a natural part of the human experience, yet how we interpret and handle that pain can be a choice. My goal is to assist you in developing strategies to navigate life's challenges more effectively. I use person centered and mindfulness based therapy that increases self awareness. Through cognitive based therapy, you can challenge barriers that prevent you from reaching your goals.

Welcome and Congratulations on taking your first step towards healing. I'm Candyce Williams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, founder of Integral Therapy Services LLC. I have extensive professional work experience with adults, geriatrics, children and families in both healthcare and mental health settings. 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 believe therapy should be a place where you can bring your full self—your worries, questions, difficult experiences, and hopes for the future—without fear of judgment. My role is to offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of what has been weighing on you. You do not have to have the right words or know exactly where to begin. We can start with what feels most important to you. My approach focuses on helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, and past experiences. Together, we identify patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, feeling stuck, shame, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty trusting yourself. From there, we build practical, personalized tools that support emotional regulation, self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and meaningful change. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, trauma-related concerns, grief, relationship difficulties, emotional dysregulation, shame, and identity-related concerns. I understand that these experiences can feel isolating or exhausting. Therapy can offer space to explore them with honesty and care while developing skills that feel useful beyond the therapy room. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. Depending on your needs and goals, our work may include noticing and challenging unhelpful thoughts, building distress-tolerance skills, practicing mindfulness, strengthening communication, or developing new ways to respond to difficult emotions. My hope is that therapy helps you feel more grounded, capable, and connected to yourself. I will meet you with curiosity, respect, and compassion as we work toward a life that feels safer, more manageable, and more aligned with your values. Whether you are beginning therapy or returning after a break, we will move at a pace that feels supportive, respectful, sustainable, and right for you each day.

Let me help you on this journey! Imagine yourself empowered, as we find recurring themes and self-defeating patterns. You will discover ways to overcome fear and other emotional obstacles. Problems, once confronted, lead to insights and newfound strength, self-acceptance and freedom. My advanced training is in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) which is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from anxiety, trauma and PTSD symptoms. My experience and training help us to quickly identify key issues, unconscious factors and ways to resolve them. My primary focus is on helping women find balance and peace after experiencing trauma, navigating through life transitions and unhealthy relationships. I can work with you to develop healthy coping skills and gain insight. I love to help others feel at peace and whole again. If there is one thing that I would like for you to know is that the most crucial part of therapy is to find a therapist that you trust. My priority is to create a genuine connection with my clients by creating a safe and non-judgmental space for them. I am a Latina Christian woman who loves serving my community wholeheartedly; with no judgement. Let me help you reclaim your voice, your confidence, and your sense of direction.

My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Hello. I’m Jamie and I’ve been a practicing therapist for many years. You may be recovering from addiction, childhood trauma, toxic relationships, or perhaps, all of these things! I know most people don't go through life untouched by trauma, anxiety, unhealthy habits or some kind of issue that deeply affects them. I also know life's problems do not come with troubleshooting instructions but I belive I know how to help people begin to effectively address them. Whether they were caused by genetic predisposition, environmental stress or undeterminable origins, my beliefs are: We can have a life worth living regardless of how it started. There is help worth seeking, and problems get better with wise counsel.

Hello! My name is Dr. Charles Greene, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Georgia, an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), and a Board Certified-Telehealth Provider (BC-TMH). I hold a Doctor of Behavioral Health degree and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. *Please note that I am not a medical doctor or a psychologist, and my services focus on counseling and therapeutic techniques rather than medical diagnosis or treatment. As a licensed professional counselor, I am here to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for individuals seeking understanding and growth. My goal is to help you navigate life's challenges, enhance sense-making of yourself and the world around you, and develop effective coping strategies. I draw upon a blend of evidence-based practices and compassionate support to tailor my approach to your unique needs.

Welcome, and thank you for taking the first step toward your healing journey. My name is Juliet Stephenson, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals find emotional wholeness, clarity, and peace. I believe that therapy is a powerful space for healing—where your experiences are honored, your voice is heard, and your growth is supported with compassion and clinical care. My passion is working with adolescents, adults, and families who have experienced trauma, relationship challenges, stress, and emotional overwhelm. With years of experience in inpatient, outpatient, and residential treatment settings, I bring a trauma-informed, client-centered, and spiritually grounded approach to healing.In a world that feels increasingly fast-paced and demanding, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs. Therapy can be the place where you choose yourself again. My role is to offer a steady, compassionate presence as you navigate your personal “becoming” journey. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or struggling in your relationships or parenting, you don’t have to face it alone. Healing is possible, and together we can work toward clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. I understand that every person’s story is unique. Because of that, I draw from evidence-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed approaches to create a therapeutic experience that fits you. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can process, grow, and reclaim what matters most. Whenever you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here. Let’s begin.

I have lived a long and colorful life. Like everyone else, I've made good and bad choices and learned from each. I have 22+ years experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment field. I DO NOT JUDGE, AT ALL, PERIOD. I can be both blunt and gentle as appropriate. My role is to offer another perspective, a way to see life more fully and function better, no more, no less. I don't pretend to have all the answers but only one slice of wisdom. I just share what can help someone. Some people are not yet ready to be helped. Yet for those who are feeling lost on life's journey and are willing to listen and learn, I'm here to assist. My life work can be summed up in three words, "offering people hope. " "The wound is where the light enters." - Jeladdin Rumi "A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once." Martin Luther King Jr. "Wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now." - Maya Angelou "The past is gone, and there is left only a blessing." - Kahlil Gibran "Be true to yourself, and you will be false to no one else." - William Shakespeare "How very lucky are we, for just a moment to be, part of life's eternal rhyme." Charlotte's Web, movie "Not all who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien

Feeling overwhelmed or defeated in your current situation? Did you come here looking for your safe place, where you can unwind and talk about your fears, heartaches, and stressors without judgement. You have found it, your safe place is right here. It does not matter what stage you are in, in your life (children, teens, adults or seniors) your feelings are important. If you are looking for guidance with Depression, Anxiety, Mood, Grief, Trauma, Parenting, Relationships, Divorce, Step and or foster parenting, Childhood/ teen behaviors please reach out to me. Prior to beginning my private practice, I spent 20 plus years working in the field, going into homes, schools and communities. I feel that my experience in the field brings a wealth of knowledge that a classroom book can never teach you. I understand that each individual is different and will never let a book label you. I want to be your support!

Hi, I’m Andrea Thomas, a licensed clinical social worker with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families. I help clients manage anxiety and stress, heal from trauma and grief, navigate life transitions, strengthen relationships, and build greater confidence, motivation, and self-esteem. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized to your needs. Together, we’ll explore what may be keeping you stuck, recognize the strengths you already possess, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. I believe everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, so you can expect a safe, welcoming space where you can express yourself openly and without judgment. When I’m not in session, I enjoy listening to music and cheering on my favorite football team. These are a few of the ways I recharge and stay grounded. When you’re ready, I’m here to listen, support you, and walk alongside you as you heal from the past, focus on the present, and transform your future.

I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to work through life's challenges. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients explore the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building on the strengths they already possess. For those open to it, I also offer faith-based support, honoring the role that Christian values and spirituality can play in healing. I value a collaborative approach to counseling and believe that therapy should be tailored to each individual's unique needs and experiences. Whether you are facing anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, or simply seeking personal growth, I am committed to helping you discover solutions, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence and hope. My aim is to support you in creating lasting changes that align with your values and the life you envision for yourself. Together, we identify practical strategies to overcome obstacles, develop healthier coping skills, and create realistic goals that lead to meaningful progress.
