I’m Jennifer Haynes, LMHC, Founder and Clinical Director of Fr33 Mind LLC. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, emotional wellness, and helping clients better understand the patterns that shape how they think, feel, relate, and respond to life.
I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, family dynamics, and periods of feeling disconnected from themselves. My training includes trauma treatment, DBT-informed care, grief counseling, suicide assessment and management, parent training, neuropsychotherapy, mental health and nutrition, and personality disorder treatment. I am also a Florida Qualified Supervisor and am currently completing certification in Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga, anticipated in March 2027.
What I want clients to know most is that therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and individualized. I value warmth and compassion, but I also believe meaningful therapy includes reflection, accountability, skill-building, and learning how to make choices that better align with the life you want.
My work is increasingly focused on the connection between mind and body. Healing is not only about understanding what happened; it can also involve reconnecting with yourself, recognizing how stress shows up in your body, strengthening emotional awareness, and developing a greater sense of safety, agency, and choice.
Abhita Malhotra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that meaningful therapy begins with feeling genuinely seen, understood, and safe enough to be yourself. With extensive experience working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and co-occurring concerns, Abhita brings warmth, curiosity, authenticity, and a sense of humor into the therapy room. She believes therapy should feel human—not clinical or one-size-fits-all—and works to build relationships in which clients feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are.
With over 30 years of experience, I am not a "typical" therapist; I prioritize an active partnership focused on achieving your optimal performance. If you are ready to do the work and gain lasting control over your mental and physical health, call today to schedule an appointment.
Hi, I'm Heidi, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) at Life Thrive Solutions dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges with compassion, support, and evidence-based care. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Calvin College and my Master of Social Work from Barry University. Over the past 10 years, I've worked in outpatient mental health, residential treatment, and healthcare settings, providing therapy to adolescents, adults, older adults, and families experiencing a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns.
Elizabeth Lerner received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Speech Communications and Sociology from the University of Miami in 1993 and earned her Master’s Degree in Social Work from Florida International University in 1995. She became licensed in 1998 and is a qualified supervisor for those seeking Florida licensure.
Welcome. I applaud you for taking this step to seek guidance to build your skills and coping methods for a more satisfying life experience. I have been a therapist for over 15 years. I enjoy my career and find it exciting to help others find a path to contentment.
I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without judgment. I take a warm, compassionate, and collaborative approach, meeting you where you are and working together to understand what you’re experiencing and what you want to change. I know that reaching out for therapy can feel difficult, and I want my clients to feel heard, respected, and comfortable being honest. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop practical tools, and feel more confident navigating life and relationships.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Pierce
Finding therapists in Fort Pierce starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience align with what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Fort Pierce, local therapist availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and session format. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist communicates, what session structure may look like, and whether their approach fits your preferences.
Therapy in Fort Pierce can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
