Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Florida

Hi, I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and for over seven years I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people as they work toward personal growth and healing. Whether you’re facing grief, disappointment, or patterns that keep you feeling stuck, I’m here to help you find clarity and create a more balanced, satisfying life. My approach is collaborative and supportive-helping people uncover their strengths and make meaningful changes in their lives.

I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and women’s issues, including maternal mental health and postpartum concerns. I know how overwhelming it can feel when you’re carrying too much or no longer feel like yourself. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, better understand what you’re experiencing, and begin making meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner working with adults from diverse backgrounds. I provide warm, affirming, and direct care, with a collaborative approach focused on understanding each person's goals supporting meaningful , sustainable progress. My priority is creating a safe and supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their care.

Jamilah Vega is a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. She received both her Bachelors of Science in Nursing, and her Master's of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University. She has more than 10 years of combined experience across various areas of nursing including behavioral health, corrections, and hospice. Jamilah has experience caring for patients of all ages. She specializes in multiple mental health disorders some of which include anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and Bipolar Disorder.

You might look like you have it together—but inside, your mind doesn’t slow down. You overthink conversations, second-guess decisions, and feel constant pressure to stay “on” at school, work, or in relationships. When things finally get quiet, your brain doesn’t—it gets louder. I work with adolescents and young adults who are tired of feeling stuck in that cycle. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted. They don’t just want to “talk about feelings”—they want real tools that actually help.

I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy. Please note, I do not provide couple or family therapy services on insurance as these forms of therapy are not recognized by insurances. If you'd like couple or family services, I provide out of network services and can also provide a sliding scale based on your income/ genuine financial need.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Hi there, I’m Madi. I am a relational therapist who focuses on building authentic connections with individuals and families. I believe that through these connections, we create a safe and effective place for healing.

I grew up in central Florida and earned my Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State University, followed by a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. During graduate school, I gained experience working in a treatment facility and with college students at USF, advocating for children’s educational needs while they balanced mental health treatment. This exposure led to my interest in behavior-focused therapy, particularly in using exposure techniques.

I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, Tourette's, and disordered eating.

I use a solution focused approach which means I use modalities that suit your needs best. They include CBT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness practices.

During our initial therapy session, my priority is to create a safe space for you to share your story and understand how I can best support you. You can expect:

-Introductions & Overview: To discuss the framework for our work together and a chance for you to ask any initial questions about the process.

-Sharing Your Presenting Concerns: This is your opportunity to describe what brings you to therapy. We'll focus on the challenges and symptoms you are currently experiencing, giving me a clear understanding of your primary concerns.

-Brief History Taking: To provide comprehensive support, I'll ask some questions about your relevant personal history, including past experiences, family background, and any previous therapeutic experiences. This helps illuminate patterns and influences on your current situation.

-Collaborative Goal Setting: Together, we'll begin to identify what you hope to achieve through therapy. This isn't about having all the answers now; it's about forming initial goals that will guide our work and help you move towards the changes you desire.

By the end of our first session, my aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and have a clearer sense of how we can work together to support your journey towards healing and well-being. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.

If you are navigating anxiety, a big life change, or the particular weight that comes with motherhood, fertility, or perimenopause, you have come to the right place. I am Patty, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Mindfulness Provider with more than 20 years of experience helping women move from anxious and overwhelmed to grounded and resilient.

I believe therapy works best when it fits your real life, so I build every session around your specific goals, your pace, and exploring what matters most to you. If any of this resonates, I would love to connect.
