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.

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.
Hello there!
My name is Marisa and I am a licensed mental health counselor with over 6 years of experience providing mental health services to individuals from widely diverse backgrounds, with varying symptoms and diagnoses. Throughout the past couple of years, I have been predominately working with women (adults and teens) who experience anxiety, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, and interpersonal and intrapersonal challenges. While many of the clients I support have experienced trauma, particularly in some form of abuse, I am equipped to work with clients with a wide range of additional concerns, as well.
I specialize in working with men who struggle with issues related to self-esteem, people-pleasing, communication and relationships.
A Florida and Polk County native, Mirtha is a graduate of Frostproof High School. She is board certified as both a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and an Autonomous Primary Care Nurse Practitioner. She earned a Bachelor's of Nursing from Polk State and a Master's of Nursing from USF. In 2023 Mirtha earned a Post Master's Certification in Psychiatry from Florida Atlantic University. However, her journey as a mental health provider began in 2020 when she became certified through the Academy of Christian Counseling, as a mental health coach. Then in January of 2025 she became an active member of the Order of Saint Luke (OSL) a healing ministry.
Mirtha has nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare. Her passion is caring for individuals struggling with mental health issues. She has been volunteering with the youth in her community for over 7 years and also has experience working in a domestic violence shelter with victims of trauma.
I have a heart for walking with people who are looking for someone to listen and care about their unique circumstances. I work with both couples and individuals; some specializations include marital counseling, grief, addiction, anxiety, depression, spiritual/existential discernment, trauma, suicidal ideation, family dysfunction, and career counseling.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in healthcare, with 13 years including mental health care. My background includes working in high-acuity settings such as ICU and trauma care, which has strengthened my ability to remain calm, attentive, and thorough in complex situations.
I chose to practice as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner because I am passionate about helping individuals improve their mental health and overall quality of life. Mental health challenges can significantly affect every aspect of a person’s well-being, relationships, and daily functioning, and I believe compassionate, patient-centered care can make a meaningful difference.

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.
