Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry

Dr. Beverly Regisford-Henry

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 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.

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.

I started my career in New York City then moved my practice to the sunny state of Florida. My experience over the past 15 years is working with adults navigating everything from everyday stress to deeper emotional wounds. Life gets complicated sometimes, but you don't have to do it alone! Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through their most vulnerable moments—and watching them rediscover their strength, gain clarity and build confidence.

Shakyra Lawson

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Becoming a licensed clinical social worker has always been a career goal. Growing up, I constantly advocated for vulnerable populations and had a deep understanding of people’s emotions. As the oldest child and daughter, understanding family dynamics, worldviews, and individual experiences came naturally. In my career, I’ve provided psychotherapy to court-ordered parents working to reunite with their children, teens in a school setting as a behavioral health therapist, and millennial individuals as a primary therapist. As a first-generation college graduate, an entrepreneur, and a businesswoman, I also understand the challenges that come with starting something from scratch and learning as you go. Sometimes, you need to speak with a relatable yet unbiased party to process your thoughts and feelings about everyday stressors that you may not feel comfortable sharing openly. I use evidence-based practices and unconventional interventions to reach clients where they are.

Dr. Erin Beattie

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I believe the foundation of meaningful therapy is a strong, genuine relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, challenged enough to grow, and supported every step of the way. I strive to balance compassion with practical, evidence-based strategies so that therapy not only feels validating but also leads to real, lasting change.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, educator, and clinical leader, I bring experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I tailor therapy to each individual, drawing from approaches such as EMDR, CBT, ACT, attachment-based therapy, Gottman Method, and neurodivergent-affirming care. My hope is that you'll leave each session with greater insight, practical tools, and the confidence that meaningful change is possible.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


"I want you to become the expert on you." You are the expert on your own life, but sometimes life layers challenges that make it hard to see the way forward—anxiety that keeps you awake, the heavy weight of grief, or the lingering echoes of trauma. My name is June Pittman, and I founded Positive FX Counseling & Wellness because I believe that even in our darkest chapters, we have the innate capacity to create a 'positive effect' on our own mental well-being.

Based in West Palm Beach, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping adults and adolescents navigate the complexities of identity and loss. With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and a background in organizational systems, I bring a grounded, holistic perspective to the healing process—helping you bridge the gap between where you are and the resilient future you deserve.

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

Searching for therapists in Sarasota starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Sarasota therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Sarasota has a smaller local therapy market than larger Florida cities, so virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. You may prefer an in-person office near Central Sarasota, Osprey, Casey Key, or another nearby area, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you learn how each therapist describes their approach, session style, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Sarasota can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists in Sarasota who are accepting new patients, add your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose between virtual and in-person care. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
