Some people experience fear that holds them back. Others are so weighed down by the complexities of life that it feels like there is not enough energy to do anything. Over time, they shift further and further away from the person that they know they can be, but they feel like they’ve already tried everything and feel stuck. If you can resonate, the bravest thing you can do is reach out. We all have core beliefs that define how we see ourselves and the world. These beliefs have huge implications for our emotional, behavioral, and relational patterns. Some are positive and helpful, and others are fear-based and limiting.
I help people gain awareness of their limiting core beliefs so they can actively reframe them, if necessary, into more beneficial and realistic beliefs. Together, we can explore the internal and external factors that impact not only your beliefs, but the feelings, behaviors, and relationships associated with those beliefs.
I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families, and together, we work to accomplish the changes they desperately want to make. If you are ready for a change, know I will be right by your side as you reclaim joy, face your fears, and begin to feel at peace with yourself again (or maybe even for the first time).
Greetings!
I’m excited to welcome you to work with me. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with years of experience working with individuals who chose to focus on themselves in a holistic manner. I believe our minds, bodies and souls heal best when we address them jointly.

Hi I'm Beck. I'm a clinical social worker who specializes in working with individuals around relationship challenges and adult attachment concerns, trauma, life transitions, identity exploration, and mental health during infertility and pregnancy.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe healing is about more than simply treating symptoms. It’s about understanding and caring for the whole person. I take a holistic, compassionate approach, exploring how your mind, body, experiences, relationships, and daily habits may influence the way you feel.
I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stressors, drawing from my decade of experience supporting individuals and families in medical, mental health, and child welfare settings.

I’m Dr. Madeline Michel, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with nearly 20 years of nursing experience and more than 13 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University and hold three board certifications as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Gerontological Nurse Practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for individuals across the lifespan in a variety of clinical settings. My professional background includes psychiatry, substance use disorders, cognitive disorders, and neurology. I previously practiced as a neurology hospitalist nurse practitioner at several hospitals throughout South Florida and as a cognition-specialized Gerontological Nurse Practitioner at the Louis and Anne Green Memory Wellness Center, a state-designated Memory Disorder Clinic. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of the relationship between mental, cognitive, neurological, and physical health.
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult life transitions begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and ability to enjoy everyday life. You may feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or uncertain about how to move forward. You don't have to carry those struggles alone, and meaningful change is possible. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, cultural and ethnic issues, women's issues, and trauma so they can build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a greater sense of balance and emotional wellbeing. Working with adolescents and adults in both English and Spanish, I strive to create a welcoming, culturally responsive environment where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Sanford
Finding therapists in Sanford starts with knowing what kind of support and fit you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare Sanford therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach care.
Sanford is a smaller city, so nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare approach, availability, and fit in one place.
Therapy in Sanford can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
