Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Lutz, FL

Hi, I'm Diana — a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals and families, including older adults, navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and life transitions. My background spans schools, foster care, supportive housing for youth, and outpatient mental health across New York and Florida. I know how hard it can be to find a therapist who truly understands your culture, your language, and the pressures you carry — whether that's family expectations, being the one everyone else leans on, health changes, caregiving, or figuring out who you are apart from everyone else's needs. Many of the people I work with are holding it together for everyone around them while quietly running on empty. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel understood, in whichever language feels most like home.

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore life's challenges, gain insight, and develop practical tools to move toward lasting emotional wellness.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with experience providing psychotherapy to adults across a variety of settings, including outpatient private practice and senior living communities. I work with individuals (adolescents to seniors) experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic pain, relationship concerns, life transitions, and stress-related challenges.

I know that sometimes asking for help can be difficult. Rest assured, we all need help at one time or another in our lives. I am dedicated to helping children, teens and adults discover their unique voice and express themselves in a safe, supportive and nonjudgemental space. With a warm, client-centered approach, I specialize in guiding individuals through life's challenges---whether it's anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, racial identity exploration, stress or family dynamics.

I'm glad you're here.

Hi, I'm Sandra.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or simply wondering how to move forward. Whether you're navigating a life transition, grief, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, you don't have to go through it alone.

I believe healing begins when we feel truly heard. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, certified school counselor, and educator, I enjoy helping women, teens, and young adults find hope, healing, and practical tools for life's challenges.

Our first session is simply a conversation. I'll take time to listen, understand your story, and learn what matters most to you. We'll work together at a pace that feels right for you and create goals that fit your unique needs.

Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling heard, hopeful, and with practical tools they can begin using right away. Some have even shared that therapy feels like talking with a trusted friend while also gaining meaningful insight and growth.

If faith is important to you, I'm happy to thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into our work together.

Hi! I'm A'layah Matamoros, PMHNP-BC, founder of Mariposa Integrative Psychiatry.

I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and helping them feel confident throughout the process. My goal is always to make clients feel heard, supported, and satisfied with the results.

Many of my patients come to me feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, frustrated, or stuck. Whether you're struggling with focus and organization, generalized or social anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low mood, burnout, sleep difficulties, or the challenges that come with major life changes, I'm here to provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

I provide psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, supportive treatment, and medication management for adults throughout Florida via telehealth. My areas of focus include women's mental health, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, sleep concerns, life transitions, stress management, and healthcare burnout. I also provide an eight session ADHD skills therapy program that helps with planning, organization skills, and understanding executive dysfunction.

I believe the best care happens when you feel comfortable, involved, and supported throughout your treatment journey. Together, we'll work to better understand your concerns, identify your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and your life.

Are you navigating grief, chronic illness or a rare disease, or a major life transition? Maybe you grew up in a family impacted by addiction, conflict, or instability, and want to explore how those experiences are showing up in your life today. These experiences can shape your boundaries, self-worth, and sense of responsibility for others—often influencing relationships, personal growth, and even physical health. In therapy, we’ll explore how your past and present connect, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve you—so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

I want you to know that my role is to support you with compassion, respect, and evidence‐based care. I take the time to listen closely so I can understand what you’re experiencing and what matters most to you. My approach is collaborative—I believe treatment works best when we make decisions together. I’m here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel heard. My goal is to help you move toward stability, confidence, and a better quality of life.

I support adults facing relationship pain, life transitions, anxiety, and identity shifts. Having lived through betrayal and rebuilt my own life, I understand these experiences from the inside out. I believe the most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one with yourself. Together, we focus on finding the answers so the next step feels possible.
