I believe that prioritizing your mental health is a major key to a happy, fulfilling life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 5 years, but before I was a therapist I taught high school. Because of my background in education, I love working with young adult females who are struggling with identity, self-confidence, anxiety and depression.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing thoughtful, compassionate care to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood as we work toward meaningful, lasting change.
With extensive experience in both school systems and clinical settings, I support children, adolescents, and adults through high-stress and crisis situations. I am highly skilled in risk assessment and safety planning, helping my clients build effective, real-world coping strategies to manage their most difficult moments.
As a bilingual clinician, I am proud to provide services in both English and Spanish, helping expand access to care for diverse communities across Florida. I am especially passionate about helping my clients move through emotional challenges with clarity, resilience, and confidence.
By applying a supportive, compassionate, and caring approach clients have the ability to use multiple tools to enhance and maintain their quality of life. As your counselor, my goal is to engage you in co-creating an active treatment plan that is directly related to your identified concerns, issues, and needs. I will guide you through the multiple layers of life's maze that include situations and experiences, feelings and emotions, thoughts, choices, and decision-making. Together we will make progress and strive forward towards your desired outcome.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel collaborative, individualized, and judgment-free. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your treatment.
I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take time to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and personal goals. When appropriate, I also consider factors such as sleep, nutrition, physical health, and laboratory findings that may be contributing to how you feel.
Medication can be an important tool, but it’s only one part of mental health care. Together, we’ll develop a practical treatment plan focused on helping you feel better, function better, and improve your overall quality of life.
I’m Diera Woodard, LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and practical tools for real change. My mission is to create a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and peace.
Clients often describe my style as warm, honest, and empowering. I meet you where you are and walk with you as you develop the insight and tools needed to create lasting change. I believe that therapy should feel like a collaborative conversation — one that helps you understand your emotions, strengthen your coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
I’m Lyz Eidam, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, Panic, Mood Disorders, OCD, PTSD, Grief, Stress, and challenges related to life changes.
It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fort Myers
Finding OCD therapists in Fort Myers starts with looking for the right training and approach. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, contamination fears, checking behaviors, rumination, or repeated rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, read their bios for direct mentions of OCD experience, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and related concerns like anxiety or trauma.
Fort Myers has a smaller local therapist market than larger Florida cities, so virtual therapy can expand your options while still keeping care easy to schedule. Some people prefer an in-person office nearby, while others choose virtual sessions for more flexibility around work, school, or caregiving. When narrowing your search, look at whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that fit your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. A therapist who lists OCD as a specialty may have general experience, while one who names ERP training gives you a clearer signal about their approach.
Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session cost and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for Fort Myers therapists who focus on OCD, view virtual and in-person availability, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
