LGBT therapists in Crestview, FL

Maybe the anxiety hums under everything you do, or motherhood looks nothing like the version you pictured. Maybe you are carrying a loss other people have stopped asking about. Whatever brought you here, you deserve a place to say it out loud without softening it first. I work with women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent, and with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, and stress that has stopped feeling temporary. Much of my career has been spent beside people in their hardest seasons, and what looks like falling apart is often the start of something honest.

I am a licensed therapist with a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Slippery Rock University and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Liberty University. With over 14 years of experience in outpatient therapy and more than 5 years of supervising counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians, I bring both clinical expertise and a strong commitment to supporting fellow professionals in the field.

I have received specialized training in grief treatment using current evidence-based approaches across the lifespan, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My clinical experience spans a wide range of ages—from toddlers as young as 2 to individuals in their 80s—and I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but I believe it’s a powerful and courageous first step toward healing. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered on your journey toward wellness.

I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.

Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Kimberly Townsend, LMHC and I provide general mental health telehealth therapy services for pre-teens, teens and adults via individual and/or family sessions. I have ten years of experience working with clients and patients in various clinical capacities (schools, in-home, inpatient, outpatient, corrections/prison, private practice). Clients are often looking for support navigating something that has left them feeling alone, surprised or unbalanced. You will find me to be a warm, supportive, welcoming, competent and skilled therapist. I will cheer you on and challenge you. All are welcome, just as you are.

Hi, I’m Morgan Pierce, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor! My background includes over 3 years of experience supporting LGBTQ+ adults navigating identity, stress, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I bring that same affirming, judgement-free lens to every person I work with. My goal as a therapist is for people to see themselves with compassion and clarity.

I created my own practice from a deep belief that every human being is capable of growth and transformation, no matter how stuck, lost, or broken they may feel.

In our time together, we may explore patterns that no longer serve you, process old wounds, and build tools for resilience. I view therapy as a collaborative journey — one that honors the most authentic version of yourself and your capacity to heal from within.

I approach each client with a curious, open mind, and zero judgment. I recognize that everyone has a unique worldview shaped by their experiences, and I honor and respect that perspective. My hope is to create a space grounded in trust and connection, where we can explore your life and goals. Through honest, open communication, we can build a deeper relationship with ourselves and others.

Clients should know that I’m down-to-earth, non-judgmental, and a genuine person. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to be real—no masks, no pressure, no shame. I bring warmth and care into the room, along with a sense of humor when it’s helpful, because healing doesn’t always have to feel heavy to be meaningful.

I’m also solution-focused and collaborative. That means we’ll spend time understanding what’s going on, but we won’t get stuck there. We’ll work together to identify practical tools, coping strategies, and small, realistic steps that can help you feel better in your day-to-day life. Above all, I care deeply about meeting you where you are and supporting you in a way that feels respectful, empowering, and aligned with your goals. If you do not see your insurance provider listed and you are interested in private pay, please email me at [email protected] or find me on Psychology today under Nicole McCray and send me a message.

You don't have to keep carrying what feels heavy alone. With over 15 years working across inpatient, outpatient, and private practice settings, I specialize in helping people navigate grief, substance use, anxiety, depression, and the patterns that are hardest to break. I work with individuals ready to release what's weighing them down: relationship challenges, life transitions, boundary setting, and more. My approach centers on building real trust first, then weaving in the techniques that fit each person. If any of this sounds like where you are, I'd love to hear what brings you here.

I’m a licensed therapist who creates warm, grounded, and compassionate spaces for clients to explore their inner world and reconnect with their authentic self. I work with adults navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, and trauma—particularly those healing from patterns where they’ve abandoned their needs, voice, or self-worth.

My work blends modern psychotherapy with holistic tools, offering an integrative path toward healing. Whether you’re reconnecting with your intuition, working through emotional stuckness, or rebalancing after burnout or a major life shift, I meet you where you are—with care, curiosity, and respect.

Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.

Great to Meet you!!! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient centered care in a safe and supportive environment. I work collaboratively with each individual to understand their unique experiences, goals, and challenges.

I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals find balance, healing, and hope. I provide medication management and supportive therapy for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and life stressors. My goal is to create a compassionate and judgment-free space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to take control of your mental health.

I’m a cis-gender heterosexual female. My husband and I have a high school aged son. I’m originally from St. Louis, MO but I have lived in Florida for a combined 36 years because I love living in paradise. One of the things I enjoy about virtual work is seeing my clients’ pets too.

I was a non-traditional student and got my bachelor's degree at 29 and my master's degree at 32. The life skills I gained as I worked my way through school have been helpful throughout my career. For some people, the age of their therapist is important. I am 49 years old.

Some of my helpful qualities include being non-judgmental. I have talked to people of all kinds, many ages with all kinds of histories and all kinds of present lives. There really isn't a topic you can't discuss with me, I have never felt a client gave me "TMI" or too much information. You are guaranteed privacy and confidentiality. You can get judgment for free anywhere else. I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they know.

I am often told after first sessions that I'm easy to talk to and those clients feel better just having gotten some things off their chest.

I have treated children and teens throughout my career beginning at my first job in foster care.since beginning in I graduated from my masters degree. I have also treated adults with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, sexual dysfunction, porn addiction, people in the LGBTQ community & people in alternative lifestyles.

I also treated patients in hospice as well as other medical settings. I treat people with chronic illnesses and occasionally I treat people with life limiting illnesses.

Here at Headway I will treat anyone who is 10 or older because I believe they are best suited for virtual therapy. I'm open to appeals about this policy.

I believe that healthy relationships are one of the most important parts of emotional well-being. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I help individuals and couples strengthen communication, navigate conflict, process life transitions, and build deeper, healthier connections with themselves and others.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and I work to make the process feel comfortable, approachable, and meaningful from the very beginning.

I have experience supporting clients with relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, communication difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and personal growth. I work with adults, couples, and individuals who are looking to better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and create lasting positive change.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach combines evidence-based practices with genuine human connection to help clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking greater clarity, I provide a supportive environment where healing and growth can occur.
