Zaneb Mansha

Zaneb Mansha

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Boca Raton, FL


Hi, I'm Zaneb! I'm a licensed mental health therapist who believes therapy should be a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. I earned my bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Sociology and my Master's in Social Work from The Ohio State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

Over the past several years, I've had the privilege of working with thousands of individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, self-esteem, stress, relationship challenges, and cultural identity. As someone who understands the pressure of balancing high expectations, perfectionism, and multiple roles, I strive to create a space where you don't have to have everything figured out before asking for help.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Searching for therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what kind of support you want. A therapist may help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Fort Lauderdale therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Their bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in a session.

Fort Lauderdale has a broad mental health care community, with options across neighborhoods like Victoria Park, Las Olas, and nearby areas in Broward County. Your search may include in-person appointments near home or work, virtual sessions that fit your schedule, or a mix of both. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that work for you, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and decide who may be a strong fit.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists in Fort Lauderdale, FL who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
