Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Panama City, FL

Thank you for reaching out to me today! I am here to listen and to help. I am licensed to practice professional counseling in Florida and Missouri with a specialty in addictions and co-occurring disorders. I have been assisting clients since 2011, but in recent years my primary focus is with adults ages 18 and older.

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.

I’m a bilingual psychotherapist (English/Español) with extensive experience supporting individuals living with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and am credentialed as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Maryland and in Florida. In addition to my private practice, I work full-time as a Psychiatric Therapist at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I’ve spent years helping people manage mood disorders and find greater stability.

Living with bipolar disorder can feel like riding an unpredictable roller-coaster. Many of the clients I work with want to better understand their symptoms, spot early warning signs, and create daily routines that steady the mind and body. Others are navigating depression, anxiety, or the toll that mood changes can take on careers, caregiving roles, and relationships. If you’re ready to turn insight into action, sleep better, fuel your body, and nurture healthier connections, I’m here to guide you.

Most people who finally reach out have been putting it off for a while, waiting to feel ready or wondering whether what they're going through is serious enough to count. I'm Victoria, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 10 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and the life transitions that knock you off your footing. I also hold specialized certifications in substance use, so if that's part of what you're carrying, you're in good hands. Clients often describe me as approachable, honest, and steady.

Hi, I’m Jasmine. My professional background is rooted in treating abuse related trauma. My work focuses on helping people make sense of distress, whether it stems from clear past events or simply from patterns that no longer fit their lives. I am trained in EMDR and approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in trust, attunement, and respect for each client’s pace. I value honesty, clarity, and a grounded sense of humor in the therapy room, including an appreciation for incongruence and the occasional ridiculousness of being human, and I believe meaningful change unfolds within a genuine, steady therapeutic relationship.

I help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that interfere with meaningful change. I offer in person therapy in Venice, FL through Landry Therapy & Wellness and telehealth throughout FL through Headway. Together, let's create a personalized path towards sustainable growth through healthier patterns.

If' you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just ready for a change, reaching out for support is a meaningful first step. You don't have to minimize what you've been through, and you don't have to have all the answers before getting started. Together we will explore what's impacting your life and build tools needed for healing and growth
