ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Pensacola, FL

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am passionate about creating a space where you can feel safe, supported, and truly understood. My work is rooted in compassion and connection, honoring your unique experiences while helping you move toward healing, balance, and greater peace within yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, celebrate your strengths, and cultivate the meaningful change you’re seeking in your life.

With over 30 years in the mental health field, I bring a deep understanding of the therapeutic process and a strong commitment to helping people thrive. I have served as a therapist, clinical supervisor, clinical director, and adjunct professor in settings such as group homes, outpatient clinics, mental health centers, schools, and now private practice. I especially enjoy working with clients who are open to growth, even when it feels challenging.

I'm so happy that you're here!! That means that you're ready to take the next steps in learning more about you and the way you think and behave, which will help you understand and navigate the experiences you are having in your life currently. As your therapist, my role is to help you push past all the noise in your head and quiet it so that you can hear your real voice and help you understand how everything you experienced in your life has an affect on your lifestyle and many of the things that we tend to go through.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a solid background in evidence-based care, combined with genuine compassion and a commitment to helping my patients overcome challenges and improve their quality of life. Over the past eight years, I have worked with children, teens, and adults on various mental health issues. My research experience covers topics like disordered eating, self-esteem, and media influences, which helps me understand how external factors affect mental health. Most importantly, I see therapy as a partnership built on trust, respect, and your unique strengths and experiences.

I earned my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University New England, along with Master degrees in Clinical Psychology and Media Studies, and a B.A. in Psychology from UCLA. My experience includes APA-accredited placements at respected institutions, including the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center and the Northern Arizona VA Health Care System. I have also done training in assessments, counseling, and residential treatments for children and families. I currently run a private practice at Inspired Minds Psychological Services PLLC and support Veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs, which is deeply meaningful to me. I am licensed to practice in Florida and Texas.

Success in therapy starts with a strong partnership. I focus on building a solid therapeutic alliance—a collaborative bond rooted in mutual agreement on your treatment goals. By working as a team, we create a clear, evidence-based roadmap for meaningful change.

Hi, I'm Alanna, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing telehealth therapy for adults across Florida. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, and life transitions, especially those who feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, burnout, emotional overwhelm, perfectionism, or difficulty with focus and follow-through.

Many of the people I work with appear to be managing life on the outside while privately struggling with self-criticism, low self-worth, intrusive or racing thoughts, chronic stress, or the mental exhaustion that comes from feeling like you always have to keep it together. Others come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure why life feels harder than it seems to for everyone else.

I also have a special interest in supporting individuals navigating the emotional impact of PCOS and other chronic health or hormonal conditions, including challenges related to body image, fatigue, mood changes, stress, and adjusting to life with an ongoing medical condition. If you've been thinking about therapy but aren't quite sure where to start, that's okay. Whether you're ready to begin or simply have questions about how therapy works, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to talk with you, answer your questions, and help you determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

I believe every person has the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and bring experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families from diverse backgrounds. As a bilingual counselor, I provide therapy in both English and Spanish.

I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma, grief, life transitions, betrayal and infidelity, self-esteem challenges, and stress. I also enjoy supporting couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. For clients who desire it, I can thoughtfully integrate Christian faith into the counseling process while welcoming individuals from all beliefs and backgrounds.
