Hi, I’m Maikel Echemendia, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving patients in Florida through both in-person and telehealth appointments. I specialize in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, panic symptoms, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and life stressors. My approach is warm, supportive, and practical. I believe patients should feel heard, respected, and understood—not judged. Many people come to treatment feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, anxious, or stuck, and my goal is to help them regain stability, clarity, and confidence in their daily lives.
At Sivana Counseling, I work with my clients across a wide range of emotional concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and general life transitions. I strive to create a space that feels safe, respectful, and genuinely supportive for you.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Sociology, followed by a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling; both from the University of Central Florida.

I work with both adolescents and adults and tailor my approach to meet each client’s individual needs.
If you have been carrying anxiety, stress, or the weight of navigating life in a new country,
or simply feel like something is off and you are not sure where to start, you are in the right
place. I am Jonnelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience
supporting people through complex life transitions, immigration challenges, anxiety and depression. My approach is holistic and deeply culturally responsive: I believe healing involves the
mind, body, and soul together, not just symptoms. Using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and somatic-
informed techniques, we work at your pace to build clarity, resilience, and a life that feels
authentic to you.
If you are carrying anxiety that keeps your mind racing, depression that dims your days, or the heavy weight of grief, caregiving, or family conflict, you do not have to navigate it alone. Major transitions, substance use struggles, and emotional burnout can leave you feeling disconnected from the life you want. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist, I provide a compassionate space to help you make sense of these complex seasons. Whether you are facing daily stress, significant loss, or relationship challenges, we can work together to restore balance, heal old patterns, and help you feel like yourself again.

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.
