Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

As a licensed mental health counselor, I passionately advocate for self-care and mental wellness while working collaboratively with clients to empower and build resilience and achieve mental health goals in a safe, empathetic space for healing and self-empowerment. I am prepared to assist individuals in coping and managing emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges.

I specialize in anxiety and stress management for adults, teens, and children. I have experience working with individuals struggling with addictions and have discovered a love of helping people in this capacity. A resilient individual is able to withstand or recover quickly from challenging life events. Let me help you grow through what you go through.

I have 23 years of experience as an educator and understand students' daily stresses. Mistakes happen. It's what you do with them that matters. Let me provide the compassion and empathy you need to overcome life's struggles. I will listen genuinely without judgment and support you in overcoming trauma, adversity, tragedy, daily stress, and much more.

Life has a way of piling on, and sometimes you need someone in your corner who isn't going to judge you or rush you. That's what I'm here for.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor based in Central Florida. I've spent my career working with teens, adults, and seniors through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and the relationship struggles that wear a person down. Whatever you bring in, chances are I've sat with someone through something like it. My approach is flexible because every person arrives with a different story, different strengths, and their own definition of healing.

I'm a licensed psychologist working with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, grief, significant life changes, or challenges with attention and focus. My goal is to offer a safe, affirming space to explore your life, your story, and what matters most to you — your experiences, your values, and where you hope to go. You are a complex, whole person made up of many parts — and there is room here for all of them.

Welcome! I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My approach is warm, compassionate, and person-centered, and I’ll meet you where you are while helping you better understand yourself and the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll identify patterns, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change. Most importantly, I want you to feel heard, supported, and comfortable being your authentic self.

I have a professional background in counseling with specialized training in substance use prevention and treatment. I also work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and challenges with emotional regulation. My approach is empathetic, human, and person-centered, always honoring your unique story. I’m here to support you in reaching your full potential through a holistic perspective that values emotional, physical, and social wellness.

I’m Karina Smith, LCSW, founder of Bloom Haven Therapeutic Services❀. I specialize in working with young adults and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions related to relationships, career shifts, and family dynamics. I also support individuals experiencing the lasting impact of trauma or feeling stuck in patterns that are difficult to break.

My work is grounded in EMDR, DBT-informed therapy, somatic approaches, CBT, and mindfulness-based practices. I’m also an advocate and serve on the PAIMI Council for Disability Rights Florida.

You’re tired of explaining yourself. To doctors, to family, to people who mean well and still don’t get it. You’re the strong one, the responsible one, the person everyone leans on, and nobody sees what it’s costing you.

I’m Dr. Daniela De Medeiros, a clinical psychologist in Miami with over a decade of experience working with teens and adults from all walks of life. I work with people navigating anxiety, panic disorder, depression, ADHD, trauma, low self-esteem, grief, life transitions, identity, family conflict, relationship struggles, women’s issues, and the emotional weight of chronic illness and chronic pain.

I hold a doctoral degree in clinical psychology (Psy.D.) and a master’s in mental health counseling, with specialized training in health psychology. I’m also trilingual and conduct sessions in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Most people who find me are exhausted, a little unsure therapy will even help, and carrying more than they let anyone see. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.

Are you living with chronic illness, navigating a life transition, or feeling overwhelmed by mental health challenges? You don’t have to go through it alone.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with extensive experience supporting individuals across a wide range of life experiences and mental health needs. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors. My work is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a trauma-informed lens.

Over the years, I’ve supported clients living with chronic illness and chronic pain, including those facing cancer and dialysis treatment. I understand that the medical system often doesn’t allow time for patients to be truly heard. That’s why I’m passionate about creating a space where you can slow down, speak freely, and feel undertood.
