Amy Dickson

Amy Dickson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Odessa, FL


Hello, I’m Martyna, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at WellMinded Health. I provide comprehensive psychiatric care for adults across Florida.

My background includes experience in wellness-focused care, functional medicine, and long-term care settings. This has shaped the way I approach mental health treatment, allowing me to consider the broader picture of a patient’s health, including lifestyle, physical health, and environmental factors that may influence emotional well-being.

I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns.

My goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric care in a supportive and respectful environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and actively participating in their treatment.

Happy patient looking away

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 Sarasota

Finding the right therapist in Sarasota starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or a life transition — or broader mental health care. From there, look for a licensed provider (such as an LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist) who has experience with your particular needs. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you reach out.

Sarasota and the surrounding areas — including Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Siesta Key, and Osprey — have a large number of practicing therapists, which means more options but also more to sort through. Narrowing by logistics like virtual or in-person availability, scheduling, and location can help you build a shortlist faster. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to see if the fit feels right before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Sarasota can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to bring costs down. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who matches your needs and is covered by your plan.
