I specialize in working with older teens and adults in their 20s and 30s navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma, perfectionism, and the general overwhelm that can come with trying to have your life together. I’m trained in EMDR and use evidence-based approaches including ERP, ACT, and CBT. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and direct.
I'm a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving clients across Florida via telehealth, and I specialize in anxiety, depression, and ADHD. What I want you to know most is that I genuinely care — not just about your symptoms, but about you as a whole person. I've always been drawn to mental health because I understand what it feels like to struggle, and that empathy is at the core of everything I do. Outside of work, you'll find me with a camera in hand, rock climbing, or staying active — I bring that same energy and engagement into every session with my clients.
Hi! I am Katie. I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Masters Certified Addictions Counselor (MCAP). I received my bachelors from UF and then went on to get my Masters in Social Work (MSW) from USF. I have nearly 10 years of experience working in the helping profession. After graduation, I began working in child welfare and for the past 3 years I have been working in residential substance use and trauma treatment programs.
I trained in medicine before I became a therapist, and it changed what I listen for. When a client tells me her chest tightens before every meeting, or that she can't stop thinking about a diagnosis, I take the physical side of that seriously.
I hold a PhD in health psychology and I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and Florida. My published research is on post-traumatic growth in women. Since 2020 I've also taught graduate counseling and psychology as an adjunct professor.
I see adults dealing with trauma and complex trauma, chronic illness, health anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. I work with women through perinatal and postpartum struggles and through fertility challenges. I also see adolescents.
I speak English, Hindi, Arabic, and Urdu. If you're dealing with immigration, acculturation, or family expectations that don't translate easily, you won't have to explain that context to me first.
I'm Justin, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Qualified Supervisor (QS), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My passion lies in helping you and your entire family heal from past wounds and foster a greater sense of curiosity, compassion and connection with one another.
I view myself as a compassionate guide equipped with the tools to support you in self-exploration. Together, we'll work towards improving your communication skills with loved ones, overcoming protective barriers that hinder authentic connections and addressing the wounds that hold you back from greatness.
I’m a clinical and performance psychologist and executive coach, and I teach the emotional skills most of us were never taught. If you feel overwhelmed even though life looks “successful” on the outside, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are physicians, executives, athletes, business owners, and other high achievers navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, relationship strain, or intense performance pressure. For over 25 years, I’ve helped people build emotional resilience, communicate more effectively, and develop practical tools that create real, lasting change—not just momentary relief.
My name is Holly Bowling and I am a Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I started my nursing career in 2012 after graduating from Ball State University. I have had the opportunity to work in many disciplines where I was able to utilize my knowledge and skills required to provide for those with mental health issues, specifically, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, allowing me the opportunity to continue pursuing my career, in mental health.
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.

Find an expert who truly understands OCD
Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Tampa
Finding OCD therapists in Tampa starts with looking for training in obsessive-compulsive disorder and Exposure and Response Prevention, or ERP. ERP is a common evidence-based therapy for OCD, and not all therapists who list OCD have specific training in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, checking behaviors, contamination fears, or OCD-related anxiety, review therapist bios for OCD experience, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or related anxiety care.
Tampa has a range of therapy options across local offices and virtual appointments, so the right fit may depend on location, schedule, and the type of OCD support you want. If you prefer in-person care, consider whether an office is easy to reach from your neighborhood, work, or school. Virtual appointments can expand your options, especially when you want an OCD therapist with ERP training. As you compare profiles, look for details that separate general familiarity with OCD from focused experience, such as ERP listed as a modality, anxiety and OCD specialty areas, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Tampa can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, may accept a range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
