I approach work with my patients with genuineness, unconditional positive regard, and empathy. I work with my patients according to their goals in a collaborative manner. I also meet my patients where they are, with challenges that are digestible.
Welcome, I'm Hannah! I am a licensed therapist based in Florida. I deeply enjoy working with clients of various identities and cultural backgrounds. Together, we can navigate things like identity development, relationships, emotional regulation, and all of the unique parts of yourself. I strive to help you find useful tools that promote empowerment and self-understanding. As your therapist, I welcome you as are and I am eager to support you in your wellness journey. If you are seeking therapy that prioritizes authenticity, curiosity, and new insights, then we may be a great fit.
Therapy with me is very human and genuine. I don’t just focus on what’s painful or stuck but help to highlight the ways in which my clients overcome life's punches. While I take this work seriously, I believe laughter can be healing and disarming in therapy.
I earned my Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Florida International University and have worked in a variety of settings, including the foster care system, residential treatment, and community mental health. My background includes supporting individuals navigating trauma, persistent mental health conditions, substance use, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I’ve also worked with veterans, individuals who are unhoused, and LGBTQIA2S+ clients.
In my practice, I work with clients experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also support clients with PTSD, some OCD presentations, and concerns related to gender, sexuality, and queer identity. My work is trauma-informed, affirming, and rooted in helping clients feel both emotionally safe and genuinely understood.
I am a bilingual therapist who offers a supportive space for individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specializes in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness, I work with both children and adults to find healing and create positive change in their lives.
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.
If you're an adolescent or adult carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or the kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating life on your own for too long, therapy with me is meant to feel calm, unhurried, and genuinely supportive. I work with teens and adults facing relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and stress that's hard to shake. I also support parents of children and young adults with ADHD or autism-related needs, and I have experience working with individuals and families facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. My background spans community mental health, crisis stabilization, outpatient care, and hospital settings, so I've sat with a wide range of what people go through.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Lakeland, FL
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Lakeland starts with identifying someone who offers identity-affirming care and has experience with the concerns you want support for. You may want help related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or gender-related stress. Look for therapists who mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care in their profiles. These details can help you find someone whose training and listed specialties match what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Lakeland, the number of local therapists with clear LGBTQIA+ experience may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still giving you access to care from home. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether their background or approach feels relevant to you. Reading bios before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their communication style, experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Lakeland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you check your coverage before you book. You can compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. From there, you can browse profiles, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
