Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Sarasota, FL

Let’s get UNSTUCK. Therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, and healing and growth don’t have to come through more pain.

You may understand exactly what's causing a certain feeling or response and yet it still happens. You know you're safe but your mind/body responds as though you are not. You know you are capable but something keeps getting in the way.

I work with adults, teens, and children navigating trauma, anxiety, fears and phobias, guilt, shame, fear of judgement, grief, life transitions, perinatal experiences, and performance-related stressors. I also work with people who recognize something is getting in the way of how they'd like to be and are interested in accessing and perhaps expanding their potential.

Many of the people I work with have already put a lot of thought and effort into feeling better and gaining insight. You don’t have to have it figured out before you get here. My clients tend to be curious, motivated, and open to coloring a little outside of the lines. They often appreciate an active therapeutic process focused on creating clarity and change.

Sometimes the goal is deep relief from something painful. Sometimes it’s greater confidence, freedom, or the ability to show up more fully as yourself.

I’m a Rapid Resolution Therapy Certified Specialist and a National Board Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, with additional training in Brainspotting and other experiential and strength-based approaches.

Hi all! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with five years of experience in the field, working with clients of all ages across the lifespan. I have worked in schools, home health settings, and community-based mental health spaces. I have experience working with veterans and first-generation young adults, as well as individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions.

As an LCSW, psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so thank you for trusting me with that first step! I’ve been practicing for 40 years, but in the last decade, I have focused on trauma, change of life, relationships, anxiety, and addictions.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker, military veteran, and military spouse, and I've spent much of my career working with people who are very good at carrying a lot. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, major life transitions, motherhood, and the pressures that come with demanding roles and relationships. My clinical background includes years of providing and leading behavioral health care in military settings, which has shaped the way I understand resilience, identity, relationships, and what can happen when pressure begins to build. I want therapy to be a place where you can put some of that responsibility down and give some of that attention back to yourself--not another place where you have to hold everything together.

I am a therapist with extensive experience providing compassionate person-centered care to teens, young adults, older adults, couples, families and caregivers. My approach is warm, supportive and non-judgmental, with a focus on helping clients identify their own strengths, insights and solutions. I strive to create a safe and welcoming online environment where clients feel heard, respected and empowered. I also offer flexible scheduling including evening hours to make therapy more accessible.

I’m a Board‐Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 20+ years of healthcare experience, providing compassionate, evidence‐based care for adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, sleep disorders, and substance use disorders.

I trained at the University of South Alabama and have worked in outpatient clinics, hospitals, memory care, and correctional settings. These experiences help me understand how mental health challenges impact daily functioning and overall quality of life.

My approach is trauma‐informed, culturally responsive, and solution‐focused. I take time to understand your story and create a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and lived experiences.

My passion is helping people heal and regain a sense of stability, confidence, and hope. You don’t have to navigate this alone — I’m here to support you every step of the way.

People come to me when they've been carrying something for a long time: a substance they keep trying to quit, a relationship dynamic that won't change no matter how hard they try, or an anger that costs them more than it should. I'm Nicole, a Licensed Professional Counselor with seven years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families in Michigan, and I believe the right support can shift what feels impossible to change on your own.

I specialize in depression and anxiety, life changes, substance use and addiction counseling, marriage and family therapy, and anger management. I also support clients working through anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions, working with adolescents through seniors across a wide range of challenges. My goal is to help you recognize your own strengths, build the tools you need, and feel more in control of where your life is going.

I’m Katie Wesley, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University. I have been providing counseling services since 2021 and have experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and life changes. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Counseling and Counselor Education at University of Florida to continue to grow professionally and deepen my understanding of mental health care. I am passionate about helping people find peace and hope throughout their mental health journeys.
