I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. My dual certification allows me to approach care holistically — understanding both the psychiatric and medical factors that impact overall wellness.
I have experience working with individuals experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related conditions, behavioral concerns, and severe mental illness. I believe mental health care should be collaborative, respectful, and individualized. Every client’s story is unique, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. My goal is not only symptom relief but helping you build stability, insight, and long-term wellness.
Have you been feeling stuck in your thoughts, in your relationships, or in life as a whole? Do you experience unmanageable stress or anxiety? Or do you experience what seems like a loop of intrusive thoughts, then repetitive behaviors or habits that lead you to believe that you may have OCD? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you don’t have to go this path alone. Together, we can begin a transformative journey, where treatment becomes your pathway to greater relief.
Clients should know that I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 20 years of healthcare experience, including extensive work in inpatient psychiatric stabilization, crisis services, and dual-diagnosis treatment. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan.
My practice is grounded in creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I am deeply committed to helping clients improve their emotional well-being, strengthen resilience, and achieve greater balance and fulfillment in their lives.
My name is Tom Kauffmann and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I was awarded a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Utah in 2015, where I attended classes on their campus in Salt Lake City. I also graduated from a one year licensed alcohol and drug counseling program (LADC) in 2013 at the same university prior to getting my Master's degree. I specialize in using cognitive behavioral techniques and strategies to help folks investigate how they think about things.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Lithia, FL
Searching for therapists in Lithia starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for training, specialties, and approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or other methods that may fit what you are looking for.
In a smaller community like Lithia, local appointment options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Valrico, Brandon, or Plant City. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. It also helps to compare practical details like appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can show how a therapist describes their style, what sessions may look like, and who they most often support.
Therapy in Lithia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review estimated costs after adding your insurance details, and book directly when you are ready. Every therapist listed is accepting new patients, making it easier to find someone who fits your needs, schedule, and coverage.
