Lisa Bentivenga

Lisa Bentivenga

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


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.

Hi, I’m Gisselle. I work with women and adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions — especially during seasons that feel overwhelming or uncertain. Many of my clients are trying to hold everything together on the outside, while internally feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward.

With a background in public service and years of experience supporting people from all walks of life, I bring a deep sense of compassion and understanding to the work we do together. Clients often describe me as warm, supportive, and easy to open up to.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Finding the right postpartum therapist in Fort Lauderdale starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum mental health concerns can include depression, anxiety, mood changes, difficulty bonding, or intrusive thoughts — and a provider who specializes in perinatal mental health care will be familiar with all of these. Look for a licensed therapist (such as an LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT) or psychiatrist with experience in prenatal and postpartum care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they feel like the right match.

Practical factors matter too, especially when you're adjusting to life with a new baby. Consider whether you prefer virtual sessions you can attend from home or in-person appointments in the Fort Lauderdale or greater Broward County area. Availability and scheduling flexibility can make a real difference — look for providers who have open appointment times that fit your routine.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
