Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Venice, FL covered by Aetna

Hi, I’m Tracy, I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 22 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. I provide compassionate, individualized treatment for children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, life transitions and other mental health illnesses. I have a passion for supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, panic attacks and social isolation.

I take a holistic, patient centered approach to care, which means I look beyond just the symptoms. I consider the whole person, mind, body, and spirit because I believe true healing comes from addressing every part of who we are. That might include medication, lifestyle changes, therapy support, or simply having a safe space to talk and be heard. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan here; together, we’ll find what works best for you.

I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nursing from Jacksonville University and completed a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatry at St. Thomas University. I’m currently working toward my Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) at St. Thomas University, which allows me to stay up to date with the latest research and continue improving how I serve my clients.

Over the years, I’ve worked in inpatient hospitals, outpatient settings, and telehealth environments, giving me a broad understanding of how mental health shows up in different stages and spaces of life. No matter where you are on your journey, my goal is to meet you with empathy, honesty, and a genuine desire to help.

If you're looking for a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your mental health and take steps toward healing, I'm here for you. Let’s work towards getting your life back and navigating your future. Healing is possible, and I’m here to walk with you through it.

Thank you for taking the courageous step to reach out for help. I would be honored to work along side you on your journey towards personal growth and empowerment. I have over 28 years of experience in working in mental health. My experience includes private practice, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, nonprofit, domestic violence, and substance abuse. I also spent 21 years in public education as a teacher, school counselor, and therapeutic counselor.

Lidiar con una tristeza profunda que no desaparece, vivir con el cuerpo en constante alerta por la ansiedad, o sentir que el pasado sigue doliendo en el presente a través de recuerdos y bloqueos, es una experiencia agotadora. Si te encuentras atravesando por procesos de trauma, estrés postraumático (TEPT), ansiedad, depresión o los desafíos de un trastorno de la personalidad, quiero que sepas que hay un camino hacia la calma.

Mi nombre es Maria Isabel Montalvo y soy psicoterapeuta especializado/a en salud mental compleja y terapia relacional. En mi consulta encontrarás un espacio de absoluta seguridad, confidencialidad y respeto, libre de juicios, diseñado para procesar tus heridas y regular tus emociones a tu propio ritmo.

Healing begins in a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I am committed to creating a supportive, collaborative environment where you can explore your experiences without judgment while gaining the tools and confidence to move toward lasting change. My approach is grounded in authenticity, compassion, and respect. I believe therapy is not just about processing life's challenges but also about discovering your strengths, building resilience, and creating meaningful change that extends beyond our sessions.

Hi there, I'm glad you have located me on Headway. I enjoy meeting new people and learning what makes them unique. I will do my best to make you feel comfortable and heard. Setting up a consultation is easy to do so lets get started.

Hi, I'm Malikiya Hayes, LCSW, and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a major life transition, or finding yourself stuck in the same patterns in your relationships, your career, friendships, or the way you see yourself, you don't have to figure it out alone. As an LCSW with a background in medical social work, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals through complex life experiences, including chronic illness, cancer-related concerns, caregiver stress, grief, and significant life transitions. I also work with high-achieving women who often feel responsible for everyone else, including eldest daughters who have spent years carrying family expectations, putting others first, and struggling to prioritize their own needs without guilt.

My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to your unique experiences. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions, we'll work together to identify patterns that no longer serve you, build healthier coping strategies, strengthen your relationships, and create lasting change. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe exploring who you are beyond your responsibilities. Together, we'll help you break unhelpful cycles, reconnect with yourself, and build a life that feels authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

Hi there! I’m Alissa Hodge, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work and a Graduate Certificate in Military Social Work from the University of Central Florida. I’m a trained clinician with extensive experience providing individual therapy in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds and in a variety of settings, including with military veterans, individuals struggling with addiction, adults involved with the local jail system, parents navigating DCF case plans, individuals in rehabilitation programs, and clients receiving outpatient healthcare services. While each setting has been different, my clinical focus has consistently included anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and addiction.
