I'm Gina, a licensed Bilingual Queer Dominican-York counselor whose therapeutic work lies in supporting a diverse population of adults in building greater awareness and capacity to live with greater awareness and lessen their suffering.
I’ve supported first-generation, queer, polyamorous, & immigrant adults in navigating addictive behaviors, traumatic experiences, attachment injury, and grief—experiences that can disrupt one’s ability to engage with life & relationships more fully.
Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.
Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.
How We Will Work Together
My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.
Specialized Support for Couples
In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.
**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Tampa, FL
Finding addiction therapists in Tampa starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, drug use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, relapse concerns, and co-occurring anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match what you want to work on, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it may help to look for a therapist who can coordinate with other healthcare professionals when needed.
Tampa offers a broad mix of in-person and virtual therapy options, which gives you more ways to find a therapist for addiction recovery who fits your schedule and preferences. Local office access may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or school, while virtual appointments can expand your options across the Tampa area. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, experience with addiction recovery, and how they describe their work with people at different points in care.
Therapy in Tampa can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find addiction therapists, check estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, confirm your insurance coverage for your specific plan and area, and choose from therapists who are ready to see new patients. You can browse profiles, review specialties, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
