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.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that hope and healing are possible for everyone. My counseling approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change can occur when individuals, couples, and families partner with a compassionate, skilled therapist who provides effective support and practical mental health resources. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can gain insight, build resilience, and work toward their goals. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with you.
Breaking Generational Cycles! Casey loves their family though some behaviors are toxic. They want to make sure the cycle stops with them. They aren't sure how. That's where therapy comes in. In therapy they have a private space that’s entirely theirs. They have someone who listens and doesn't interrupt or talk only about themselves. They don’t have to filter what they say, manage anyone else’s feelings, or worry about being “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “dramatic.” Together, we focus on what’s underneath the anxiety and repeating patterns, helping Casey understand themselves and approach relationships with greater clarity and intention. This ultimately stops the generational, toxic cycle. Hi, I'm Alicia. If this sounds like something you'd like to work on, let's talk about it. I've been in the field for over 15 years and have helped numerous clients with breaking cycles of all kinds. I especially enjoy working with young adults.
Dual board-certified PMHNP & FNP with 25 years of nursing experience in women's health and obstetrics. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, insomnia, and perinatal mental health — offering medication management and CBT therapy. You'll feel heard, understood, and clear on what's been driving how you feel.
Whether you are feeling down, depleted, or in pain; if you’re wondering whether you are good enough, or having difficulties finding the motivation to start your day, psychotherapy is an effective way of rediscovering yourself. It allows you to get to the root of your symptoms and find the answers you are looking for in order to create a more fulfilling sense of self. As individuals, we all experience depression, anxiety, trauma in our lives, often more than once. You do not have to go through these issues alone.
Whether you are experiencing difficulties as an individual, with friends, family members, or your partner, Cecilia Bichara, LCSW uses a combination of psychodynamic practices that are individually tailored to meet your needs. She provides individual, couple, and family therapy in a safe nonjudgmental space and can help you in this very personal journey.
Todos pasamos por momentos difíciles de depresión, ansiedad, trauma y más de una vez, los cuales causan angustias, baja autoestima, y afecta nuestra percepción del mundo, de los demás, y de nosotros mismos. Con mi experiencia en terapia individual,de pareja y familiar en un ambiente de aceptación y confidencialidad, puedo ayudarlo/a en este proceso personal.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe wholeheartedly in empowering and enhancing one's capacity to address your own needs. You have the power and expertise within; it is a matter of finding a way to maximize it.
Maybe the anxiety hums under everything you do, or motherhood looks nothing like the version you pictured. Maybe you are carrying a loss other people have stopped asking about. Whatever brought you here, you deserve a place to say it out loud without softening it first. I work with women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent, and with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, and stress that has stopped feeling temporary. Much of my career has been spent beside people in their hardest seasons, and what looks like falling apart is often the start of something honest.
I am a licensed therapist with a Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Slippery Rock University and an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree from Liberty University. With over 14 years of experience in outpatient therapy and more than 5 years of supervising counseling interns and master’s-level clinicians, I bring both clinical expertise and a strong commitment to supporting fellow professionals in the field.
I have received specialized training in grief treatment using current evidence-based approaches across the lifespan, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My clinical experience spans a wide range of ages—from toddlers as young as 2 to individuals in their 80s—and I genuinely enjoy working with all age groups.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, but I believe it’s a powerful and courageous first step toward healing. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered on your journey toward wellness.
I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and the founder of InnerGrowth Psychiatry and Wellness, where I provide compassionate, evidence-based care through both medication management and psychotherapy. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing is deeply personal, and each individual deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.
I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, stress, and life transitions. I also support individuals navigating relationship challenges, social anxiety, and feelings of loneliness. My style is collaborative and patient-centered, I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, I work closely with you to understand your unique experiences, goals, and values, and we build a treatment plan together that feels right for you.
Clients often describe me as warm, attentive, and easy to talk to. I create a safe and supportive space where you can be open and honest, whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional healing, or personal growth. I integrate therapeutic techniques with thoughtful medication management when appropriate, ensuring that care is both holistic and effective.
My strength lies in my ability to balance clinical expertise with genuine human connection. I am deeply committed to helping you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Taking the first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

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 Postpartum Therapist in Lakeland
Finding postpartum therapists in Lakeland starts with looking for someone who has experience with concerns that can come up after birth, including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists may also list maternal mental health therapy, perinatal therapy, or postpartum support in their profiles. A certification such as PMH-C can be a helpful signal of specialized training. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match the support you want.
In a smaller city like Lakeland, local postpartum therapists may have limited in-person availability, so virtual care can expand your options. This can be especially practical when your schedule changes, infant care needs shift, or travel to an office is hard to plan. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, therapy style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their work with postpartum concerns and what a first session may involve.
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 see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who may accept insurance, offer virtual or in-person care, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can compare profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
