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 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 Tampa

Finding the right therapist in Tampa starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you need support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or trauma — or whether you're looking for more general mental health care. Tampa has a large and diverse provider community, including licensed mental health counselors (LMHCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists, each with different training and areas of focus.

From there, think about the practical details that matter to you: whether you prefer in-person sessions in neighborhoods like South Tampa, Hyde Park, or Carrollwood, or virtual appointments you can attend from home. Review provider bios to learn about their approach, specialties, and experience. A free phone consultation can also help you determine whether a provider feels like the right match before you commit to a session.

Therapy in Tampa can range widely in cost, and paying out of pocket adds up quickly. Using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their coverage.
