Hi, I'm Eli, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
With more than 30 years of experience as a clinical psychologist, I am passionate about helping adults and older adults navigate life’s emotional, psychological, and cognitive challenges. I provide psychotherapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and neuropsychological evaluations, with particular experience supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, memory concerns, adjustment issues, and the impact of aging or medical conditions. My approach is compassionate, respectful, and individualized, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to improve your quality of life.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotions that seem difficult to manage on your own. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard without judgment and supported through life's challenges. Whether you're navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself while building the tools you need to move forward. I work with both adolescents and adults, recognizing that every stage of life brings unique experiences and obstacles. Together, we'll create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can explore what's weighing on you, discover your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakeland
Searching for therapists in Lakeland starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and details about who they work with. A therapist who names experience with your concern, or uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, may be a better fit for your needs.
In a smaller city like Lakeland, local office availability may be more limited than in larger Florida markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and approach to care.
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 make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage and see which providers are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see your estimated cost before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you are ready.
