I graduated from The Ohio State University with my DNP in 2020 focusing on efficient pathways to implement depression screening post-stroke to identify mental health needs. After working a couple years as a nurse practitioner within neurosurgery, I transitioned from Ohio to Florida and pursued my PMHNP certification from Florida State University. Over the past 5 years I have been treating psychiatric needs in LTC around Florida. I am currently working to expand into independent practice and work personally with individuals creating a therapeutic relationship and enhancing their mental health.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Miami

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Miami starts with identifying care that is affirming, specific, and aligned with what you want to address. Many people look for support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life changes. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention LGBTQIA+-affirming care, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or training related to transgender and gender-expansive care. Finding an affirming therapist matters beyond credentials — it can shape how clearly a therapist understands your goals, context, and preferences.

Miami has many therapists across neighborhoods like Wynwood, Brickell, Little Havana, and Coconut Grove, which can make the search broad. Virtual sessions can also expand your options if you want a therapist with specific LGBTQIA+ experience or a schedule that fits your week. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their bio speaks directly to LGBTQIA+ populations. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and the kind of support each therapist offers.

Therapy in Miami can be expensive 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 are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can browse LGBTQIA+ therapists in Miami, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
