Therapists in Florida

I am a licensed clinician in the state of Florida. Born in Puerto Rico, moved to Florida 10 years ago. I am a trauma informed, culturally oriented and LGBTQ+ ally provider. Currently open to work with woman struggling with perinatal mental health challenges that also has survive trauma in childhood or in lifespan, and diverse population of adults experiencing PTSD, anxiety and/or mood disorders.

I genuinely believe in the power of therapy. So much can be improved upon through supportive connections, empathy and the general resilience of the human condition. I have a vested curiosity in the lived experiences of my clients and a commitment to their growth and goals. Change itself is inevitable, and at times can feel insurmountable, that said together we can work to direct the trajectory of where those changes may take you. A bit about me; I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have approximately 6 years of clinical experience. I am a born and raised Floridian - from St. Petersburg, FL - however, I spent much of my young adult life traveling and moving about (Miami, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Costa Rica, New Orleans and now back in the Tampa Bay Area). I received my Bachelors degree in Social Work, with a minor in Spanish, from the University of North Florida. In 2020, I graduated from Jacksonville University with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. During my graduate study, I completed clinical internship (1500+ hours of direct client work) with a Hospice agency as a bereavement counselor. Post-graduation, I was hired by that same agency and counseled surviving loved ones of Hospice patients through their grief journey and efforts to adjust. Surviving loss is manageable and grief therapy can help with visualizing a more hopeful future that honors your loved ones.

You are capable, dependable, and often the person others rely on. But constant stress, worry, and responsibilities can leave you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, work-life imbalance, and difficulty setting boundaries. I also specialize in supporting professionals, caregivers, leaders, and high-achieving adults experiencing burnout and high-functioning anxiety. My approach is supportive, practical, and solution-focused, helping you gain clarity, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful change.

Psychology has always been my passion and I truly love working in the field to provide a warm environment for my clients to grow.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 20 years of experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master’s degree in Psychology. My objective is to help you achieve your goals and feel better about your emotional well-being and your life . I hope to help you work through challenges and find new coping skills. My initial goal is to help you feel like this is a “safe space” to discuss your personal issues.

What typically surprises people is that I am the 11th of 13 children - all from the same parents. Growing up with so many siblings has given me a great opportunity to learn about family dynamics and effective discipline. My parents did a great job of maintaining a safe and well-behaved home, and I use their example as a template while also incorporating my own experience as a parent for working with families today. As for my approach to therapy, I use several different theories depending on the need of the client; however, my primary mode is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It just fits my personality. If you are looking for a therapist who focuses solely on your emotions and how you're feeling on any given day, then I will not be a good fit for you. On the other hand, if you're looking for a therapist who not only does all that but who will also listen to everything you say (as well as the meaning behind what you say) and then challenge your thinking habits to help you find more effective and productive thinking patterns, then I'm on board for that. I learned a long time ago that many clients do not want things "Sugar Coated", but rather prefer their therapist to be respectfully bold and blunt. If this is who you are looking for in a therapist, then let's get to work.

I’m a direct, honest therapist who believes real change happens when we stop pretending things are fine. I work especially well with individuals who feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, over-functioning, or putting others’ needs before their own. I help clients develop healthier boundaries, strengthen self-worth, and create relationships that feel more balanced and authentic. I understand the tug-of-war between wanting relief and wanting control — and how exhausting it is to live in that space. I also get how hard it is to find balance in a world that moves too fast and demands too much. If you’re tired of surface-level fixes, quick advice, or being told what you should do, we’ll probably work well together. I’m not a quick-fix or band-aid therapist. My goal is to help you slow things down, get honest, and reconnect with your truth — not the version of you shaped by pressure, expectations, or survival mode.

Life can throw us curveballs, and sometimes we need a little extra support to find our way through. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we can navigate the internal and external challenges you’re facing and work towards finding relief. Using a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, I’ll help you discover new perspectives on your situation, learn to embrace difficult emotions, and develop healthy coping strategies that fit your unique needs. My aim is to make our sessions comfortable and engaging, often bringing a touch of humor to lighten the load. I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life, including college students and emerging adults navigating transitions. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or other life changes, I’m dedicated to supporting you in building resilience and finding your path forward. Let’s work together to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Reach out today to take the first step toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I offer Christian counseling for clients who prefer a faith‑based approach, and I also provide fully secular therapy for those who do not. Your values and beliefs guide the direction of our work, and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are.

Thank you for taking time to learn a little about me. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Addictions Professional with over 28 years of counseling experience in clinical, private and educational settings. I practice Client-centered therapy. For those who are unfamiliar with Client-centered therapy it is based on the practice that the CLIENT is best able to decide what to explore and mark as a goal of treatment. I empower all my clients without compromising empathy. Whatever the reason any individual, couple, or family comes to me, I challenge their skillset to solve problems and restore resolve; not simply provide short-term solutions. The first step to achieve this is to build a rapport with essential empathy and unconditional positive regard. I believe in relationships. Seems a little elementary but one's physical, mental, and overall wellness is dependent on relations that we have with each other. No matter how large or small one's family is, and/or social circle we were all meant to establish and grow relationships. No level of true self-reflection would escape this fact. I witnessed this to be true in all of my clients as with myself. I currently reside Central Florida with my wife, son, and three daughters. As a family we enjoy an active lifestyle supportive of one another and the family dynamic. I welcome the opportunity to work with you, feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to explore whatever’s on your mind. My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration. I’m here to walk alongside you, not to tell you what to do. I believe in meeting people where they are, honoring their experiences, and helping them build insight and resilience at their own pace. Whether you're navigating a tough moment or seeking personal growth, I’m here to support you with compassion and care.

I understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your sense of self. I also believe deeply that change is possible with the right support. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, compassion, and collaboration. I offer a calm, steady space where you can explore your story, settle your nervous system, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that need care and understanding. Together, we’ll work toward relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of hope.
