  • I have been a licensed psychologist since 2007. I have advanced training in eating disorders, PTSD, and suicide prevention. I also have knowledge and a great deal of experience in many different areas, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, etc. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I generally use behavioral, cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and interpersonal modalities in therapy. I was in private practice from 2007-2015 and then worked full-time for the Veterans' Administration (VA) for almost ten years. I have recently transitioned back to private practice. I have been doing only telehealth for the past five years. I must admit that I was skeptical about telehealth at first, but have been absolutely amazed at how effective it is.

Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.


I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.


I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing is about more than simply treating symptoms. It’s about understanding and caring for the whole person. I take a holistic, compassionate approach, exploring how your mind, body, experiences, relationships, and daily habits may influence the way you feel.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stressors, drawing from my decade of experience supporting individuals and families in medical, mental health, and child welfare settings.

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi, I’m Chiedza aka Chi Chi, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families navigating life’s transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm. I earned my Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University and believe that healing happens when people feel safe enough to be seen, understood, and challenged with compassion.

My work is rooted in the understanding that we don’t exist in isolation—our relationships, experiences, and environments all influence how we think, feel, and connect with others. Whether you’re struggling with communication, navigating a major life change, or trying to better understand yourself, I’m here to help you move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with your values.

I strive to create a space where clients feel accepted without judgment while also feeling empowered to grow. My goal isn’t to tell you who to be—it’s to help you discover who you already are beneath expectations, fear, and old patterns.

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 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.
