Therapists in Florida

It is my position to offer any and all a welcome, safe and protected space to explore thoughts,feelings and needs with endless positive regard. Should you choose to allow me to assist on your journey, I am here to help. I have worked in the field as a tech in a mental health hospital with severely ill clients, as an office assistant in private practice, case management and as a counselor in agency work until landing in my own office.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, having received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I have been engaged in the field of mental health since 2018, serving diverse populations of various ages. I aim to help individuals discover their personal strengths to develop resiliency skills and become the best version of their authentic selves.

I'm a bilingual licensed psychotherapist (LMHC) based in Miami, originally from Puerto Rico. I provide individual therapy in both English and Spanish, creating a space where you don’t have to explain your culture, your identity or why you feel like you don’t quite fit in. I earned my Master’s in Psychology from Albizu University and my Bachelor’s degree back home in San Juan, Puerto Rico, shaping my ability to blend cultural sensitivity with evidence-based care. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, identity struggles, relationship challenges, narcissistic abuse, and the unique experiences of the LGBTQ+ community. My style is warm, honest, and a little humorous when it helps, because healing doesn’t have to be scripted. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, emotionally drained, or stuck in survival mode, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. Healing isn’t about rushing toward a silver lining. Some pain doesn’t come with a lesson and that’s totally fine. I believe healing is still possible, even in the darkest moments, not because we need to erase the pain, but because we learn to sit with it, honor it, and grow from it only when we’re ready!

I am a licensed clinician with several years of experience, and I live a life filled with adventure, joy, and compassion. I take great pride in helping others discover fulfillment in life, guiding them to learn more about themselves and embrace the intricacies of personal growth. My approach focuses on finding deeper meaning and fulfillment, rather than simply prioritizing success. Outside of my work, I enjoy travel, sports, and storytelling, which enrich my perspective and approach to helping others.

Welcome! I want to take this opportunity to say congratulations for taking the first step towards your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

You are invited to spend valuable time caring and nurturing yourself. My sole priority is to work on what is relevant and important to you. I am a licensed psychotherapist with five years in private practice working with a variety of clients. I have worked in various settings throughout my career with diverse populations. If you find yourself struggling with life challenges at this moment, causing you to question your path, you are not alone. I offer a safe, non-judgmental and genuine perspective to guide and support you. The goal if for you to be proactive in your healing journey and recognize you have the power and the choice to live a true and authentic life. Don’t live another minute in sadness, grief, loneliness, overwhelm, or depressed mood. It is time to restore balance back into your life and bring out the joy within you. Your healing journey starts right now.

As your therapist, I’ll support you in navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma with compassion and real-world tools. Together, we’ll uncover what helps you feel grounded, empowered, and whole.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor from Puerto Rico based in Orlando, Florida, who blends warmth with structure to help you make real, measurable progress. I primarily work with Hispanic families, supporting parents, partners, and teens to untangle intergenerational patterns, navigate acculturation stressors, strengthen communication, and rebuild secure attachment while honoring culture, values, and family bonds. My style is active and evidence-based: expect a mix of DBT and solution-focused tools for quick wins, emotionally focused and attachment-informed work to get to the root, motivational interviewing to strengthen follow-through, and mindfulness skills to steady your nervous system. The clients often tell me they appreciate that I validate deep feelings without losing sight of action, and that I’m direct while still being kind. I bring a longstanding passion for psychology and a strong sense of fairness; that shows up as advocacy for your needs, thoughtful attention to context and culture, and a steady focus on rebuilding self-trust.

Hi, I’m Janell — a proud Latina, mama, and licensed therapist who keeps it real. Since 2007, I’ve been helping people navigate the ups and downs of life — from heartbreaks and stress to burnout and self-doubt. I specialize in supporting individuals and families (especially women and kids) through healing, growth, and real transformation. My vibe? It’s all about creating a safe, honest space where you can show up as you are — messy, emotional, evolving — and still feel supported. I’ve got a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in social work from FIU. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both Florida and Virginia. My work blends traditional therapy (diagnosis, treatment, all that important stuff) with a more holistic approach — tapping into mindset shifts, energy work like EFT (tapping), and helping you reconnect with your intuition, values, and purpose. I’ve worked with folks from all walks of life — diverse cultures, disabilities, complicated family dynamics — and I know healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re dealing with stress, trauma, or just feeling stuck and disconnected, I’m here to help you come back to you. We’ll look at what’s weighing you down and shift the energy around it. We’ll reframe the stories that no longer serve you. And we’ll create space for joy, clarity, and freedom — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Wherever you are on your journey, I’ll meet you there — with compassion, humor, and some no-nonsense love. Let’s get to work.

Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I specialize in integrative individual and couples therapy for the mind and body. My perspective on therapy starts with the central belief that if you listen to your clients, they will always tell you what's going on. While that may seem very basic, unfortunately, there is very little listening going on these days. When we are listened to and are unconditionally respected and accepted, we instinctively have the right stuff inside of us to figure out our issues. That's how we become empowered . That's how we grow. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming anxiety, relationship issues or depression. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, understanding and respect. And I will use the latest evidence-based techniques to support you in your journey Helping you find that inner strength and resolve is what makes me uniquely qualified to help.

I most enjoy being a part of my client's journey to mental health recovery. Also, I have been an Adjunct Psychology Professor for over the past 6 years and have been immersed in the academic arena which has allowed me to assist undergraduate psychology majors who wish to go into higher levels of education. I specialize in working with adolescence and their families and adults. Depression, Anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, emotional dysregulation, addictions, behavioral issues, communication style improvement, self-confidence building, and relationship improvements are some of the issues that I treat in my practice.

Hi there, I'm Sarika Griffin, a native Floridian who transplanted to Omaha, Nebraska, three years ago. I am a daughter, sister, niece, aunt, cousin, friend, survivor of sexual/dating violence, suicide attempt survivor, and dog mom who advocates for the voiceless—at the same time, changing the stigma of mental health care in the Black/African American community. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of North Florida and a Master of Social Work from Florida State University.   Is there something you are struggling to move past something? I empower clients to become the best version of themselves after a trauma. Together we can process these past experiences and get you to a new normal. I live by the philosophy of Lena Horne's words, "It's not the load that breaks you down; it's the way you carry it." My therapy style is empowering, warm, enthusiastic, direct, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and take the first steps toward change. I am here to support you if you are ready to take that step.

Sometimes life just overwhelms you, and this is one of those times. Are you tired, frustrated, even confused about how to proceed? I can assist you in managing to work your way through the issue and into creating a life you love. Birth, death, marriage, divorce, empty nest, career problems are all life cycle events. When one or more of these occur, it seems to throw everything else in your life off- kilter. Avoiding the issue has not helped, and you may not know exactly how to go about addressing it. Dealing with sadness, anxiety, anger, and/or fear is challenging on your own. I will be here for you, listening, caring, maybe challenging some of your thoughts or beliefs, but always in your court. I work with adults, both individually and as couples, and I have experience with the LBGTQ+ community. My name is Carol Lazarus. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 25 years experience in helping clients overcome life cycle issues. With experience in dealing with women\'s issues, family substance abuse, mood disorders, low self esteem, lack of self-confidence, communication, and rebuilding what has been broken, I would love the opportunity to see if I am the therapist that can assist you. I am a Mom, Grandmother, dog lover, a very good friend, and I may have worked my way through the same issues that are challenging you.
