Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Coral Gables, FL


You’re tired of explaining yourself. To doctors, to family, to people who mean well and still don’t get it. You’re the strong one, the responsible one, the person everyone leans on, and nobody sees what it’s costing you.

I’m Dr. Daniela De Medeiros, a clinical psychologist in Miami with over a decade of experience working with teens and adults from all walks of life. I work with people navigating anxiety, panic disorder, depression, ADHD, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions, identity, family conflict, relationship struggles, women’s issues, and the emotional weight of chronic illness and chronic pain. I hold a doctoral degree in clinical psychology (Psy.D.) and a master’s in mental health counseling, with specialized training in health psychology. I’m also trilingual and conduct sessions in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Most people who find me are exhausted, a little unsure therapy will even help, and carrying more than they let anyone see. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Myers

Finding a postpartum therapist in Fort Myers starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are common — and providers who specialize in maternal mental health can make a meaningful difference. Look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist with experience in perinatal care, and consider whether you prefer virtual sessions (often easier to fit around a newborn's schedule) or in-person appointments in the Fort Myers or broader Lee County area.

When comparing providers, pay attention to their specific training and approach. Some providers hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), while others may specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, or trauma-focused approaches — all of which are commonly used to address postpartum concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good match before you book.

Postpartum therapy in Fort Myers can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available when you use your in-network benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
