Therapist

I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and centered on you. I know it’s not one particular model of therapy that makes the difference, but the relationship we build together. My role is to walk alongside you, creating a space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow.

Every person’s journey is unique, and I will work with you to find the path that feels right for you—one that builds on your strengths and helps you move toward healing and resilience.

Amy Dickson

Amy Dickson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Clearwater, FL


Drawing from twenty years of experience in education and principal of therapeutic schools, I have developed the art of conflict resolution with reticent learners, with parents, with couples and individuals. I have the skillset to support people and transform their perceptions of self to cope with communication issues, anger, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma. My empathetic approach offers people to find positive and creative techniques. I am highly gifted in working to establish and enhance relationships between parent and child/husband and wife using conflict resolution to create opportunities. As a clinician of almost ten years, I interact exceedingly well with individuals and couples to support positive communication and achieve personal growth whether it be in a marriage, parenting/school skills, or within oneself. My understanding, compassion, and acceptance of people when they enter therapy create a safe and trusting environment to unpack problems and develop strategies that enhance well-being, stability, and alternative perspectives on how to address struggles/conflicts.

Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry

Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Clearwater, FL


Hello everyone! I am Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry, a licensed psychotherapist in both Florida and New York. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, and the families who support them.

I approach therapy with the understanding that children do not heal in isolation. With over 12 years of experience as a therapist and more than 20 years as an educator, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, educational insight, and genuine compassion to my work.

I have walked school hallways, partnered closely with parents, and supported families navigating real-life challenges. I understand the quieter struggles young people often carry—and I am deeply committed to helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My work also extends to adults navigating family and relationship challenges. I have experience helping individuals work through marital and partner conflict, parent-child concerns, strained relationships with adult children, and the unique challenges that can arise within blended families and stepparent/stepchild relationships. I help clients recognize unhealthy patterns, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, and find more effective ways to navigate difficult family relationships.

Whether I am working with a child, teen, young adult, parent, or an adult experiencing relationship or family conflict, my goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can gain insight, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Tampa, FL


My core belief is simple: I believe in you and your ability to become the healthiest, most fulfilled version of yourself. Life often makes it hard to see that potential, let alone know how to get there. My role is to be your guide and ally on that journey.

My path to becoming a clinician has been intentional. Beyond my master's degree in counseling and advanced post-master's training, my work in non-profit and community mental health has given me a breadth of experience with people from all walks of life. This doesn't mean "I've seen it all," but it does mean that I'm prepared to meet you where you are, without judgment. No matter what you're going through, if you are ready to take a step, so am I.

Look, nothing gets better if we don't find a way to face it safely. That's why therapy takes courage. It took courage just to get this far, and you already deserve credit for that. When you're ready for that first, brave step of reaching out, I'll be here, ready to loan you some of my hope until you can hold it for yourself.
