LGBT therapists in Brandon, FL

I am currently on maternity leave until mid-July. If you think we would be a good fit I can either add you to my waitlist or set you up with one of the clinicians that works for me (who are very similar to me). You can check out more information on my website www.wildlyauthenticcounseling.com

Do you feel like you have lost your spark and vibrancy? Do you struggle with the expectations of who you should be, never feeling like you are enough? Do you numb your feelings and ignore your hearts desires for comfort, stability, acceptance, and normalcy? That used to be me too! With my own ADHD and Trauma, life has not always been easy. I want to help you overcome the things that are weighing you down and help you actualize your most authentic life.

I specialize in supporting adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My ideal clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, disconnected from themselves, or weighed down by past experiences that continue to shape their emotions, relationships, and daily lives. Together, we create space to better understand those experiences and begin building a path toward healing and growth.

Hello & Welcome! My name is Rosaly Del Valle and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I see therapy as a space to pause, reflect, and process life’s challenges. I am here to help you navigate through it all. I am committed to providing an environment where clients can explore challenges, build on their strengths, and work toward becoming the best version of themselves.

Outside of the therapy office, I proudly embrace my “grandma at heart” personality. I find joy in embroidering, baking, antiquing/thrifting, working on a new craft project, or hosting a dinner party. I believe there is something powerful about slowing down and finding comfort in life's simple pleasures. Those same beliefs guide my work as a therapist. I aim to provide a warm and supportive environment for healing, self-discovery, and growth. Helping others navigate their unique journeys is deeply rewarding, and I am honored to be part of the process.

I'm Karina Astigarrabia Ferraz, PMHNP-BC — a Board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner practicing in Florida. Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent years as a Board certified nurse in cardiac intensive care, an experience that deepened my understanding of how the mind and body are inseparable. That background shapes the way I practice: I see mental health as rooted in biology, physiology, and lived experience — not just symptoms to be managed. I believe therapy is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools in mental health care. My work centers on evidence-based approaches — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Therapy — integrated with a positive psychiatry framework that focuses on your strengths, resilience, and capacity to heal. When medication is appropriate, I incorporate it thoughtfully as part of a broader, individualized plan. Clients often describe me as warm, unhurried, and genuinely curious about their lives. I collaborate with Brain X Dynamics as an independent clinician, sharing a commitment to whole-person, holistic care — including attention to brain metabolism and the biological foundations of emotional well-being.

I specialize in PTSD, anxiety, depression, and support for gay, lesbian, and bisexual clients. For 16 years, I’ve helped people navigate crisis, chronic mental health concerns, and life transitions with care and clarity.

My experience includes inpatient psychiatry, corrections, community mental health, youth counseling, and hospital-based crisis care. I provide diagnostic assessments and therapy tailored to each person’s needs.

I’m committed to creating a supportive, goal-focused space where you can feel heard and understood. If you’re ready to begin healing and move forward, I’d be honored to work with you.

If you're an adolescent or adult carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or the kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating life on your own for too long, therapy with me is meant to feel calm, unhurried, and genuinely supportive. I work with teens and adults facing relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and stress that's hard to shake. I also support parents of children and young adults with ADHD or autism-related needs, and I have experience working with individuals and families facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. My background spans community mental health, crisis stabilization, outpatient care, and hospital settings, so I've sat with a wide range of what people go through.

Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, mood disorders, and other emotional or behavioral challenges.

As a bilingual English-Spanish provider, I am passionate about improving access to high-quality mental health care for diverse communities and creating a safe space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves in the language they know best. My goal is to build trust, empower healing, and support you every step of your journey toward better mental health.
