Being a parent can be stressful, as you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help your child feel better, find emotional balance, increase their confidence and enhance their potential. It can be daunting to reach out to a therapist because you want to make sure that you find someone who deeply cares and connects with your child and can work with you, guiding and supporting your parenting journey. Imagine what it would feel like not to constantly worry about your child because you know that they feel better about themselves, can better regulate their feelings and behaviors, and are more in control of their life.
I help children and adolescents manage emotional distress and behavioral issues, addressing difficulties in social, academic, and family settings. I also help parents develop a stronger connection and understanding of their child(ren) by providing advice, tools, and methods to advance their parenting skills and confidence.
I have over 24 years of experience working with toddlers, children, adolescents, and their families and hold a four-year, post-masters Advanced Training Certificate in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy from the Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis.

Hi, I'm Lizandra, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and U.S. Air Force Veteran providing therapy to adolescents and adults throughout Florida in both English and Spanish.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or major life transitions, I'm here to help you navigate those experiences with compassion and practical tools for lasting change.
As both a therapist and veteran, I understand how life's experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and connect with others. I have a special interest in working with veterans, first responders, and individuals recovering from trauma, while also supporting women who are learning to heal, build confidence, establish healthy boundaries, and reconnect with themselves.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I use evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), DBT-informed interventions, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have completed EMDRIA-approved EMDR training and am currently completing my consultation hours.
I know reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to have everything figured out before getting started. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and empowered as we work together to create meaningful, lasting change so you can move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and hope.
Welcome to the first step to your healing journey!
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about coming home to yourself. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, more seen, and more aligned with who you really are, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
I am passionate about helping people find clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves. I work with adults and older adults navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions—and I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. I was drawn to this work because of my own journey. Growing up, I often found myself holding space for others—listening deeply, asking questions, and offering comfort. Over time, I realized that being present with people in their pain, and witnessing their growth, was not just something I cared about—it was something I was meant to do. That sense of purpose continues to guide me today.
With over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I specialize in supporting people navigating LGBTQ+ identity, relationships, and the coming out process. Whether you're stepping into your identity for the first time, rebuilding after a difficult transition, or managing the stress and relationship challenges that come with trying to balance everything, you deserve a therapist who truly gets it. I bring warmth, directness, and a genuine investment in helping you feel more like yourself.
I’m a compassionate and dedicated mental health professional committed to helping you navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and evidence-based counseling to individuals and families from diverse cultural, ethnic, creed, and socioeconomic backgrounds. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and other emotional and behavioral concerns. My approach is grounded in collaboration, empathy, and respect. I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered.
I am an experienced and caring therapist with Ph.D. and LCSW certification. I view therapy as a partnership between client and therapist. I work with individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Additionally, I have broad expertise in emotionally focused couples therapy, sex therapy and family therapy. I have helped clients from many different cultural backgrounds.
I support mutual respect and open communication in therapy. I begin by listening and understanding your situation. Together we work on a personalized treatment plan shaped to reach your goals.
I have been in the field of psychotherapy since 2013 and have been practice as a licensed mental health counselor since 2020. I follow a holistic approach and gravitate toward solution focused and positive psychology.
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.
TEENS- Navigating the teen and young adult years can be a rollercoaster ride. Life can throw all sorts of challenges your way, from anxiety and depression to tricky friends and family dynamics, along with the ups and downs of self-esteem. My goal is to help make that journey a little smoothers.
It can be a struggle to keep it all together. Family or relationship conflicts, LGBTQ+ related issues, self-esteem, painful memories that you can't shake, or maybe just needing someone to talk to about things you can't imagine talking to anyone about. You're not alone. It's been a really difficult couple of years. I will help you explore in a safe and accepting space so that you can start to feel good again.
Imagine feeling more relief and alleviating the anxiety and fear that have become overwhelming. Together, we can lift painful thoughts and help you to gain tools and understandings that bring the light in again.
In working with me, you can have access to an approachable therapist that uses evidenced-based tools, but woven into a safe therapeutic relationship. I look forward to working together.
I specialize in supporting adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My ideal clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, disconnected from themselves, or weighed down by past experiences that continue to shape their emotions, relationships, and daily lives. Together, we create space to better understand those experiences and begin building a path toward healing and growth.

Responsibilities include delivering evidence-based treatment options, assessments, diagnosis, recommendations pertaining to mental health status, and serving as an expert witness. Other functions include policy and program development, mediation, advocacy, and behavioral science research.
Solomon Richberg has over a decade of experience as a trauma therapist. Solomon specializes in personalized plans to ease your anxiety and trauma.

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 Florida
Searching for therapists in Florida starts with finding a therapist whose training fits what you want support with. Across a large state, therapy options can vary between urban areas, suburbs, and rural communities. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life changes. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.
Location, format, and scheduling can shape whether a therapist is a practical fit. In areas like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, you may find more in-person options, while virtual therapy can expand access across other parts of Florida. Some people prefer an office setting, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile to understand their availability, session style, specialties, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. These details can help you compare your options with more confidence.
The cost of therapy in Florida can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for Florida therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapists, read bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
