Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 9.9 mi away • Tampa, FL


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.

CJ Joerg

CJ Joerg

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Tampa, FL


CJ deeply believes that a person’s past does not define their future. With a potent blend of empathy and expertise, she is passionate about helping individuals uncover their innate resilience and capacity for healing. Her approach is rooted in the belief that even the most painful histories can be transformed into sources of strength.

Having grown up in foster care, CJ brings a lived understanding of adversity—not as her reason for becoming a therapist, but as a quiet source of strength that has shaped her superpower: the ability to sit with any form of trauma without judgment or shock. Her presence is steady, compassionate, and unshakable—able to hold space for stories that are often too heavy for others to carry.

Specializing in trauma-informed and somatic therapies, CJ supports individuals, couples, and families through experiences of PTSD, anxiety, and complex trauma. Her mission is to guide clients toward a life marked by grace, growth, and resilience.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Tampa

Searching for ADHD therapists in Tampa starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, planning, organization, and emotional regulation. Medication management is different and is usually provided by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some use both. If you are searching for adult ADHD therapy near me, an ADHD behavioral therapist near me, or support for a child or teen, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match the age group, concerns, and care style you want.

Tampa offers a range of therapy options, from local offices to virtual appointments across Florida. In a mid-size market, your search may include therapists near your neighborhood, therapists with flexible virtual availability, or ADHD specialists who also work with anxiety, depression, school stress, or work stress. These concerns can appear alongside ADHD, so it helps to choose a therapist with experience across more than one area when that matches your needs. Review therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their approach, session structure, ADHD experience, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

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 makes it easier to find therapists, including many who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer clear booking options. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before your first session, then compare bios, availability, and appointment format so you can find a therapist who matches your needs and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
