Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Venice, FL

I'm a board-certified PMHNP with 16 years of nursing experience across home health, care management, hospice, and palliative care. That background shapes how I practice: I treat the whole person, knowing that emotional, mental, and physical health are deeply connected. I see patients across the lifespan and offer sessions in both English and Tagalog.

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.

Congratulations on your courageous decision to seek help! Self-awareness is the first step to change and I go above and beyond to help those like you who choose to actively help themselves. Understand that the path to self-discovery and growth is not easy. It involves commitment, personal investment, and a desire to delve into the process of growth, healing, and self-love.
