I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible to everyone, especially individuals in underserved and rural communities. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and through telehealth.

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, or another mental health concern, we’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your life, not someone else’s.

I combine evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach, recognizing that sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and daily habits all play an important role in emotional well-being. My priority is helping you feel better while empowering you with the tools to thrive long after our appointments.

Therapist

I’m a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting adults, older children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, and life transitions. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood, so I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where clients can show up authentically and feel comfortable exploring difficult emotions and experiences.

My work is centered around helping clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. I’m passionate about empowering clients to build self-confidence, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop practical tools that support long-term growth and resilience. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or simply looking for support through a challenging season of life, therapy can provide space for healing, clarity, and meaningful change.

I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Florida International University and have spent my career helping individuals and families move toward healthier, more balanced lives.

I support those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management challenges, including panic disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and sleep disorders. I work with individuals experiencing grief and bereavement, end of life issues, infertility, chronic conditions such as diabetes, and other health-related disabilities that impact emotional well-being. My practice also supports clients living with bipolar disorder (also known as manic depressive illness), attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), eating disorders, alcohol and substance abuse concerns, anger management and impulse control difficulties, and complex family or relationship issues.

Let's stop the anxiety spiral together! I I work with adolescents and adults. Drop your mask in here and learn to stop apologizing for who you truly are. Feel more comfortables in situations and stop spiraling using practical tools. It's time to stop feeling ashamed how how you think things should be! Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD and creative burnout can be overwhelming. Perhaps your brain won't turn off at night, decision-making feels impossible, or even basic tasks drain your energy. Especially when they show up in every part of life; work, your relationships, kids or parenting. That's okay. We can work with your brain and body.

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.

Whether you are feeling down, depleted, or in pain; if you’re wondering whether you are good enough, or having difficulties finding the motivation to start your day, psychotherapy is an effective way of rediscovering yourself. It allows you to get to the root of your symptoms and find the answers you are looking for in order to create a more fulfilling sense of self. As individuals, we all experience depression, anxiety, trauma in our lives, often more than once. You do not have to go through these issues alone.


Whether you are experiencing difficulties as an individual, with friends, family members, or your partner, Cecilia Bichara, LCSW uses a combination of psychodynamic practices that are individually tailored to meet your needs. She provides individual, couple, and family therapy in a safe nonjudgmental space and can help you in this very personal journey.
