Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Wesley Chapel, FL

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.

Taking the step to seek mental health support can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and complex mental health needs.

I have experience working across high-acuity hospital settings, partial hospitalization programs, and community-based care, which allows me to support individuals through both everyday challenges and more complex clinical situations. My goal is to create a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected.

Hi, I’m Chiedza aka Chi Chi, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families navigating life’s transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional overwhelm. I earned my Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University and believe that healing happens when people feel safe enough to be seen, understood, and challenged with compassion.

My work is rooted in the understanding that we don’t exist in isolation—our relationships, experiences, and environments all influence how we think, feel, and connect with others. Whether you’re struggling with communication, navigating a major life change, or trying to better understand yourself, I’m here to help you move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with your values.

I strive to create a space where clients feel accepted without judgment while also feeling empowered to grow. My goal isn’t to tell you who to be—it’s to help you discover who you already are beneath expectations, fear, and old patterns.

Hi, I'm Jheanelle Bailey, a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 17 years of experience caring for individuals with cancer. My background includes pediatric and adult oncology, chemotherapy infusion, and inpatient and outpatient cancer care, giving me a deep understanding of the emotional challenges that can come with a cancer diagnosis. While I have a special passion for supporting patients, survivors, caregivers, and families affected by cancer, I also provide psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care—including medication management and brief therapy —in a supportive, judgment-free environment where every patient feels heard, understood, and empowered.

My name is Toni Gayle, and I am a Qualified and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a background that bridges clinical care, education, and holistic wellness. I hold a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Florida and have worked across correctional settings, public schools, and nonprofit organizations — giving me a uniquely broad perspective on the human experience.

I am also the founder of The Real Tonic Wellness Brand, where I blend mental health principles with practical, whole-person wellness strategies. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, or simply trying to grow into a better version of yourself, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to every session. My work has always centered women, families, and communities — and that heart has never changed.

I am licensed in Florida with 10+ years of professional work experience combined in conflict resolution and mental health counseling. I believe that empowerment is an essential and powerful tool in the healing process. I obtained a doctoral degree in conflict resolution and a master's degree in counseling psychology. I have experience in helping clients with LGBTQ+ related issues, relationship issues, life transitions, family conflicts, coping with grief, coping with loss, motivation and self-esteem. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I am strength base therapist who focuses on personal growth.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing anxiety, ADHD, trauma, chronic health concerns, or the emotional weight of trying to keep everything together. You may feel exhausted, misunderstood, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or frustrated by challenges that affect your relationships, confidence, and daily life. I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, chronic illness, physical health concerns, depression, bipolar disorder, stress management challenges, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by circumstances beyond their control and looking for practical tools that create meaningful change. Together, we'll build on your strengths, identify obstacles that may be keeping you stuck, and develop strategies that support healing, resilience, and long-term emotional wellness. My goal is to help you feel empowered, capable, and confident as you move forward.

Aloha, I’m Olivia—a Licenses Mental Health Counselor, military spouse, and yogi—devoted to helping others grow, heal, and thrive. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, & families navigating a wide range of mental health needs. I’m especially passionate about helping people through life transitions, personal growth, relationship challenges, and supporting women during pre and post- pregnancy. My style is warm, collaborative, and focused on creating a safe space for healing and growth. In our work together, you can expect to gain insight, build resilience, and develop practical tools to move through life’s challenges.

Anxiety treatment is most effective when it’s active and collaborative, with practice that continues between sessions. This often includes readings and between-session exercises. Many people who haven’t found relief in traditional talk therapy discover that evidence-based approaches feel very different—and far more effective. With over 20 years as an anxiety specialist, we'll get you feeling better fast.

I am a kind, open-minded person who genuinely values listening and understanding others. I believe that some of the most meaningful connections begin with simply feeling heard. I have an extensive background and passion for psychology, and I am endlessly fascinated by the brain, the mind, and how deeply connected they are to our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my cats, and traveling whenever I get the opportunity. I naturally enjoy helping others navigate life’s challenges, whether that involves problem-solving, relationships, emotional struggles, or finding new perspectives during difficult times. Helping people better understand themselves and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives is something that brings me genuine purpose.

I also hold a special passion for supporting our military, veterans, and first responders. Being married to one has given me a deeper appreciation and understanding of the sacrifices made by these individuals and their families. I believe the men and women who have served and protected our country are among our nation’s greatest assets, and I feel deeply committed to helping support their mental health, resilience, and quality of life as they continue carrying burdens many others may never fully understand.
