Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Riverview, FL

Choosing a therapist is one of the most personal decisions you’ll make, and I believe feeling genuinely understood is the foundation of meaningful change. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and have spent over a decade working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, relationship challenges, life transitions, and other complex mental health concerns across diverse levels of care.

My style is warm, authentic, and collaborative while remaining grounded in evidence-based treatment. I strive to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to grow, and empowered to make lasting changes that extend well beyond our sessions. My goal isn’t simply to help you cope—it’s to help you build a life that feels more connected, balanced, and aligned with who you truly are.

I have nearly a decade of experience working with a variety of individuals with many backgrounds. I emphasize the importance of a trauma-informed and supportive approach.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 4 years of experience, I support adults through some of life's most challenging and transformative moments. My background in hospice and end-of-life care has given me the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families facing grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and major life transitions. These experiences have reinforced my belief that while we cannot change the past, we can change how we understand it, respond to it, and move forward.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe therapy isn't about fixing who you are—it's about helping you recognize your strengths, gain new perspectives, and create meaningful change. Together, we'll build practical tools that help you navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, resilience, and hope.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship challenges, stress, caregiver concerns, chronic health conditions, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based interventions, tailoring therapy to your unique needs and goals.

My philosophy is simple: your past explains you, but it does not define you. Healing begins by acknowledging your story, recognizing the strengths you already possess, and believing that meaningful change is possible. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you create a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and fulfilling.

Hi, I’m Clarrissa Hazel. I’m Caribbean-born, a preacher’s kid, and someone who deeply values faith, family, culture, resilience, and personal growth. I work with individuals who are navigating life transitions, feeling overwhelmed, working through addiction, or trying to become a healthier version of themselves. I also enjoy helping couples strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and work through patterns that may be creating distance.

My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and encouraged — not judged. Whether you are carrying stress, trying to find balance, rebuilding after a difficult season, or simply wanting more clarity in your life, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take your next step forward.

Hi, I'm Diana — a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals and families, including older adults, navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, and life transitions. My background spans schools, foster care, supportive housing for youth, and outpatient mental health across New York and Florida. I know how hard it can be to find a therapist who truly understands your culture, your language, and the pressures you carry — whether that's family expectations, being the one everyone else leans on, health changes, caregiving, or figuring out who you are apart from everyone else's needs. Many of the people I work with are holding it together for everyone around them while quietly running on empty. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel understood, in whichever language feels most like home.
