Dustin Kebre

Dustin Kebre

Therapist

Virtual • Boca Raton, FL


Dustin R. Kebre; M.A; LMFT; MT3057 My current focus lies in the private practice setting, where I take a special interest in treating trauma, anxiety & depressive disorders in adults. I take a Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) approach, which allows for long-term benefits in fewer sessions than other counseling models. I was intensively trained in EMDR and believe the focus of counseling is to not only work on managing your current struggles, but to develop the tools needed to independently manage future obstacles as well. I use a combination of reflective listening, as well as an instructional approach, to help guide you towards becoming the best version of you!

I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a License in Marital and Family Therapy. I treat individuals, couples and families. I specialize in healing people from pain and suffering. I believe the connection you can develop during therapy provides an environment where you can feel safe and nurtured. We all need this kind of support in a world that seems to care less and less about your needs as a human being. The first step is the most difficult; however, often the most life changing. I look forward in helping you transform your life and be the person you were meant to be.

I am a graduate of Pepperdine University, I am proficient in treating minor to severe mental health issues and disorders. I have extensive experience working with dual diagnosis and addiction. I am competent in healing people with minor to severe mental health issues including trauma and personality disorders. I specialize in treating individuals, couples and families from a family system perspective, as well using multiple evidence based modalities in a integrative approach.

Christopher Devitt

Christopher Devitt

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Tampa, FL


My core belief is simple: I believe in you and your ability to become the healthiest, most fulfilled version of yourself. Life often makes it hard to see that potential, let alone know how to get there. My role is to be your guide and ally on that journey.

My path to becoming a clinician has been intentional. Beyond my master's degree in counseling and advanced post-master's training, my work in non-profit and community mental health has given me a breadth of experience with people from all walks of life. This doesn't mean "I've seen it all," but it does mean that I'm prepared to meet you where you are, without judgment. No matter what you're going through, if you are ready to take a step, so am I.

Look, nothing gets better if we don't find a way to face it safely. That's why therapy takes courage. It took courage just to get this far, and you already deserve credit for that. When you're ready for that first, brave step of reaching out, I'll be here, ready to loan you some of my hope until you can hold it for yourself.

Hi, I’m Crystal, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes everyone deserves a safe space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. Since 2021, I have been providing therapy services in private practice, community mental health, and crisis intervention settings, helping individuals navigate some of life’s most challenging moments, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, and major life transitions.

My experience supporting individuals through different stages of their mental health journey has shaped my compassionate and understanding approach to therapy. I recognize that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable being your authentic self.

I believe therapy is a meaningful process where you can explore your experiences, gain insight, recognize your strengths, and develop healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to meet you where you are, provide support and guidance, and help you build the tools needed to create meaningful change, healing, and greater balance in your life.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right couples therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Fort Myers

Finding couples therapists in Fort Myers starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy may support communication concerns, conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific couples training, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their profiles.

In a smaller market like Fort Myers, local appointment options may be more limited, and virtual care can help expand your search. You may want in person couples therapy near you, virtual sessions that fit two schedules, or a therapist with evening availability. It can also help to review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers a brief initial consultation, and describes how they work with both partners. Reading bios can show how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and approaches relationship concerns.

Therapy in Fort Myers 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 booking. Headway helps you find Fort Myers marriage counseling options from therapists who match your preferences and offer clear availability, so you can compare bios, confirm your coverage on Headway, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
