Hello there!
My name is Marisa and I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 6 years of experience providing mental health services to individuals from widely diverse backgrounds, with varying symptoms and diagnoses. Throughout the past couple of years, I have been predominately working with women (adults and teens) who experience anxiety, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, and interpersonal and intrapersonal challenges. While many of the clients I support have experienced trauma, particularly in some form of abuse, I am equipped to work with clients with a wide range of additional concerns, as well.
Hi! I’m Tanya, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with four years of clinical experience. Life can be tough, and sometimes we all need a space to talk things through. I offer a relaxed, supportive environment where you can be yourself without judgment. Whether you’re dealing with stress, relationships, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to help you figure things out and move forward.
Doctoral prepared Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with more than 25 years of progressive experience spanning primary care, psychiatric mental health, nursing education, academic leadership, program administration, and healthcare quality improvement. Dual board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a proven record of managing complex patient populations, leading nursing programs, supporting accreditation initiatives, developing faculty, and advancing evidence-based practice.
Recognized for improving patient outcomes, strengthening nursing education programs, leading interdisciplinary teams, and implementing strategic initiatives that enhance organizational performance and regulatory compliance.
I am a "out of the box" therapist and qualified supervisor. I specialize in difficult cases. If you have been treated in the past and have not realized any appreciable changes or benefits, you may be discouraged and believe therapy doesn't "work".
Thank you for reaching out to me today! I am here to listen and to help. I am licensed to practice professional counseling in Florida and Missouri with a specialty in addictions and co-occurring disorders. I have been assisting clients since 2011, but in recent years my primary focus is with adults ages 18 and older.
I’ve been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California since 1995 and in Florida since 2001, with decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. In addition to my clinical work, I’ve served as a motivational trainer, consultant, and adjunct faculty member at over 20 universities, community colleges, hospitals, and medical centers.
My approach is rooted in psychoeducation — helping you better understand yourself while giving you practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and have experience supporting clients through relationship issues, life transitions, personal growth, and emotional healing. I also facilitate seminars, workshops, and small groups, where I create a supportive space for learning, connection, and growth. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to move forward with confidence.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Clearwater
Searching for therapists in Clearwater starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People often look for Clearwater therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or strength-based therapy.
In a smaller city like Clearwater, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Clearwater, virtual appointments from home, evening or weekend availability, or a therapist who offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.
Therapy in Clearwater can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, add your insurance information, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. From there, you can compare therapists, choose someone who matches your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.
