Finding a therapist who truly gets you, your background, your relationships, and the pressures you carry can be the difference between therapy that feels like homework and therapy that actually changes things. I bring both clinical expertise and a deeply personal understanding of what it means to navigate identity, belonging, and relationships in a complex world. I work with adults across the full range of human experience: women sorting through life transitions, men learning to open up in ways they never felt safe to before, and anyone wrestling with questions of who they are and where they belong. I specialize in anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, and the messy, beautiful work of building healthier relationships with others and with yourself.
Abhita Malhotra is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes that meaningful therapy begins with feeling genuinely seen, understood, and safe enough to be yourself. With extensive experience working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and co-occurring concerns, Abhita brings warmth, curiosity, authenticity, and a sense of humor into the therapy room. She believes therapy should feel human—not clinical or one-size-fits-all—and works to build relationships in which clients feel comfortable showing up exactly as they are.
I am a dedicated professional who helps individuals improve their lives through therapy, supporting them as they explore issues and gain new perspectives to make better decisions. I work collaboratively and offer a confidential, welcoming non judgemental environment to help you reach your potential.
Clients should know that I am deeply committed to creating a space where honesty, healing and emotional safety can exist without judgment. I understand that coming to therapy often requires courage, especially when life feels overwhelming, complicated, or uncertain. My approach is grounded in respect, authenticity, and clinical integrity. I value the therapeutic relationship and believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel seen, heard, and understood - not rushed, dismissed, or judged.
I bring both professional expertise and real-world understanding into my work. Due to having worked in a forensic psychiatric setting for over 16 years, I have experience working with complex emotional, behavioral, and trauma-related challenges. I approach each client with the belief that behavior is often a response to pain, and healing begins when we understand the story behind the behavior.
Clients should also know that I am direct, compassionate, and intentional in my work. I will support you, but I will also gently challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is not just to help you cope, but to help you grow, heal, and move toward a more grounded and peaceful version of yourself. I deeply respect each client’s pace and process. You are not expected to have everything figured out when you arrive. Therapy is a space for exploration, reflection, and growth.
Above all, I believe that healing is possible, change is achievable, and no one is too far gone to begin again.
Hello, and welcome.....I'm Ashley Ellison, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I believe that seeking therapy is one of the strongest investments you can make in yourself. Whether you're navigating a difficult life transition, managing anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, or simply looking for a safe space to better understand yourself, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Social Work (DSW), with a focus on advancing clinical practice and social work education. Throughout my career, I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families in community mental health, outpatient therapy, crisis intervention, and care coordination. These experiences have allowed me to support individuals from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of emotional and behavioral health concerns.
Hey, I'm Tony an LCSW based in Florida with a background that spans matters of faith, youth counseling, marital and pre-marital counseling, military family and individual support, suicide prevention advocacy, and substance abuse treatment. I've sat across from people in some of life's most difficult moments, and what I've learned is that most people aren't broken they're carrying a lot, often without enough support. I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating relationships, substance use, and the everyday weight of life that doesn't always have a name. Whether you're trying to find your footing after a hard season, repair something important, or just finally make space to talk through what's been building up - I'm here for that.
I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) licensed psychologist who is passionate about helping women understand themselves more deeply, overcome challenges, and build lives that feel meaningful and fulfilling. I provide both therapy and psychological evaluations in a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment.
In therapy, I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, trauma, chronic illness, relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, and self-esteem concerns. I believe healing happens when people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make lasting changes.
I also provide comprehensive psychological evaluations to help individuals gain clarity about their cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functioning. Evaluations may address concerns related to ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, personality functioning, cognitive changes, and diagnostic clarification. My goal is not simply to provide answers, but to help you better understand your strengths, challenges, and the most effective path forward.
Whether you are seeking therapy, an evaluation, or both, I strive to create a collaborative experience where you feel respected, understood, and supported every step of the way.
Hello, my name is Aracelys Cruz, and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I completed my advanced training in psychiatric nursing at FNU/PMHNP-BC. I’m passionate about supporting people through life’s challenges and helping them feel heard, respected, and empowered. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, combining therapy, lifestyle guidance, and medication management when needed. My goal is to walk alongside you as we build a path toward balance and wellness.
Success in therapy starts with a strong partnership. I focus on building a solid therapeutic alliance—a collaborative bond rooted in mutual agreement on your treatment goals. By working as a team, we create a clear, evidence-based roadmap for meaningful change.

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.
