Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away • Coral Gables, FL
You’re tired of explaining yourself. To doctors, to family, to people who mean well and still don’t get it. You’re the strong one, the responsible one, the person everyone leans on, and nobody sees what it’s costing you.
I’m Dr. Daniela De Medeiros, a clinical psychologist in Miami with over a decade of experience working with teens and adults from all walks of life. I work with people navigating anxiety, panic disorder, depression, ADHD, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions, identity, family conflict, relationship struggles, women’s issues, and the emotional weight of chronic illness and chronic pain. I hold a doctoral degree in clinical psychology (Psy.D.) and a master’s in mental health counseling, with specialized training in health psychology. I’m also trilingual and conduct sessions in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Most people who find me are exhausted, a little unsure therapy will even help, and carrying more than they let anyone see. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Finding ADHD therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with executive function skills, organization, emotional regulation, time management, and patterns that may come with ADHD, such as anxiety or depression. Some people also look for medication management, which is handled by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber rather than a therapist. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can involve different needs, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and client focus match what you are looking for.
Fort Lauderdale offers a range of local care options, from offices near downtown and Flagler Village to virtual appointments across Florida. If local appointment times are limited or your schedule changes week to week, virtual care can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist with ADHD experience. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their approach includes cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or work with co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their style, structure sessions, and support people living with ADHD.
Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment 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 helps you search for ADHD therapists who are accepting new clients, compare bios, check whether your plan is in network, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can review available times and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
