I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy. I work often with D1 athletes & pros (as well as their family members). I love supporting the romantic partners of people in the public eye. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.

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 Mental Health 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.
