Hi, I'm Dr. Arthur Chen, a licensed psychologist in Boca Raton and a Clinical Director. My passion is helping you navigate challenges and build lasting well-being through evidence-based strategies, genuine empathy, and active collaboration.
I specialize in Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, eating disorder recovery, and substance abuse recovery. Our practice, where I'm Clinical Director, also handles severe issues like bipolar disorder and psychosis.
My style is active, empathetic, and results-oriented. I don't just listen; I provide direct feedback and insightful questions to deepen your self-awareness. I'll gently challenge you to explore new perspectives and identify patterns, always in a safe space. My core is unconditional positive regard and profound care, ensuring you feel safe and accepted, truly heard and understood.
My strength is equipping you with practical skills for daily life. I provide concrete tools to manage difficult emotions, improve communication, develop robust coping mechanisms, and cultivate emotional resilience. My commitment is tangible results: symptom reduction, sustainable recovery, deeper self-discovery, and ultimately, an improved quality of life. Whether you want to "figure things out" or enhance your mental fitness, I'm here to guide you.
Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.
I'm a highly accomplished and experienced licensed mental health counselor and wellness coach. My approach is holistic, addressing, mind, body, and spirit.
As a Latina immigrant,cultural sensitivity is of paramount importance to me.
I'm compassionate by nature and also want the therapeutic experience to be fun. Therapy shouldn't feel like punishment so I use creative ways to keep us moving forward in your healing process.
Mindfully focused to connect your presenting concern to your system, my style is to meet you where you are whether you need me to explain what we’re doing, or simply direct you. My approach is practical, direct, and occasionally humorous — I believe real progress happens when you feel are both, supported and challenged, not just listened to.
Over 30 years I've worked with individuals, couples, and families through some of the hardest seasons of life: chronic illness, painful grief, relationship breakdowns, severe ADHD, life hindering eating disorders, destructive anger, and major life transitions.
I singly raised my three children, and came to realize clinical training doesn’t compare to life experience... theory helps it’s just not enough to capture the big picture.
I've also spent significant time working with military families and first responders, rich in life experience. They seem to prefer my steady, no-nonsense mindset at times.
Also, a well trained 15 year-old Australian Shepherd occasionally joins sessions — let me know if you'd prefer this.
Mental health is rarely just one thing. Anxiety and substance use. Bipolar and relationships. Trauma and the body. I work with the full picture, not just the label.
I am Cathy, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 16 years of experience working with adults across a wide range of emotional and behavioral health challenges. I bring a depth of specialized training that most providers do not carry including Biofeedback, Art Therapy, the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and evidence-based approaches for bipolar, eating disorders, infertility, and end of life. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and transgender inclusive, and I meet every client exactly where they are.
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes you shouldn’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, PTSD and trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, toxic or unhealthy relationships, narcissistic abuse, major life transitions, stress, overwhelm, and the sometimes-messy transition into adulthood. I also specialize in helping clients build healthier boundaries, become more confident and assertive in their relationships, recognize unhealthy patterns, and learn to advocate for their needs without losing themselves in the process.
I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Keiser University and bring a warm, genuine, down-to-earth presence to my work. My space is neurodivergent-friendly and very much “come as you are”—and when the moment allows, there’s room for lighthearted humor and laughter, too.
I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.
I am licensed in Florida with 4+ years of professional work experience. My experience has a wide range including helping clients with depression, stress and anxiety, life changes, relationship issues, and many other areas. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.I will always prioritize a therapeutic relationship with you and lead you towards positive change.
I am an LCSW with 5+ years of experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, and women's issues. I work with adults across the lifespan, including those managing ADD/ADHD, family conflict, and identity transitions. My approach centers on creating insight, challenging unhelpful thought patterns, and building the practical skills you need to live the life you choose. I earned my MSW from Florida State University and have experience working with youth, adults, and families in outpatient and community mental health settings. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a genuine investment in your growth to every session.
Hi I’m Lourdie. I know how hard it can feel when everyday stress, anxiety, or emotional ups and downs start getting in the way of your life. Maybe you’ve been trying to manage on your own, or what helped in the past just isn’t enough right now. You’re ready for someone who listens to your story, sees you as a whole person, and genuinely cares about where you are and where you want to go. I’m here to walk with you through that journey with patience, warmth, and real support.

Find the right counselor for your family
Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Fort Myers
Finding family therapists in Fort Myers starts with identifying what your family wants to work on together. Family therapy may support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one individual. As you compare Fort Myers therapists, look for bios that describe experience with family counseling, child and teen concerns, parenting support, or relationship patterns.
In a smaller city like Fort Myers, the number of local family therapists with the exact specialty, schedule, and format you want may vary. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you search for care in Florida. Family therapy may include the full family, caregivers and children, couples, or individual family members at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session structure, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit.
Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists, many of whom accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
