Michael Epstein

Michael Epstein

Therapist

Virtual • Sarasota, FL


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.

Shayla Felicien

Shayla Felicien

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


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.

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
