Hi, I’m Matthew Mulock, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people heal, grow, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida and my master’s degree in Social Work, with a concentration in Advanced Clinical Practice, from Saint Leo University.

I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and everyday stressors. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to be yourself, explore what you are going through, and begin building the tools you need to move forward with confidence.

Hi, I’m Gisselle. I work with women and adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions — especially during seasons that feel overwhelming or uncertain. Many of my clients are trying to hold everything together on the outside, while internally feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to move forward.

With a background in public service and years of experience supporting people from all walks of life, I bring a deep sense of compassion and understanding to the work we do together. Clients often describe me as warm, supportive, and easy to open up to.

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.
