I received my first counseling license in 2015 in Indiana and my License as a Professional Counselor in Texas in 2017. I am EMDR trained. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and Autsim.
Hello! I work with adult clients, ages 18-64 years old, who have medication management needs for their mental health conditions. Clients should have appropriate acuity in the mild-to-moderate range for telehealth care. Certain conditions or symptom severity levels may need a more intensive care setting than telehealth. Same week appointments available.
Hi, I’m Sarah, a licensed therapist specializing in maternal mental health. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, postpartum, reproductive loss, or parenting, I’m here to support you through anxiety, depression, trauma, and the unique challenges that come with this life-changing time.
I am a non-judgmental, client centered therapist who is personally familiar with the challenges of single parenting, divorce, codependency, abuse, anxiety, and alcoholism. I have worked in middle/high schools in Pinellas County (28 yrs), and I am continuously working to learn new counseling strategies/ applications to help my clients overcome their challenges and develop new coping skills to face the challenges of life on every level. Life can get better as we age, if we know how to approach it.
We are all facing difficult challenges in this life and often we find ourselves unsure of where to turn or what to do. We all too easily get stuck in a rut and can use a little nudge to get us out and moving again. I'm glad you have taken the first step in seeking help. Counseling can seem a daunting endeavor but it can also be very beneficial and rewarding as a means to better understanding of ourselves. My hope is that you will continue reading about me and be able to gain an understanding and a comfort in us partnering together on your journey.
My name is Mike and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. Throughout my career, my goal has been to help others to better understand the difficulties they are facing and find a path to work through those challenges. I accomplish this goal by openly and without judgement, meeting the client where they are. My approach includes principles from multiple theorists, each having their own benefits dependent on the issues that are being faced. Our focus will be on the present, the here and now. When necessary as part of developing better understanding, we will look at past events and triggers for how they have informed the present, but we are in the present. We will work collaboratively to better understand current problems, we'll set realistic goals for progress and develop skills necessary to not only overcome current issues but face future concerns as well.
My areas of practice include working with blended families, intimacy issues, infertility/adoption decisions, grief and loss, stages of life, as well as compassion fatigue/care giver issues along with anxiety, stress, and depression.
You've taken the important first steps in this journey to a healthier you. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you but ultimately whether you choose to work with me or another counselor I hope you are able to gain a better understanding of yourself and create brighter future.
Best wishes, Mike
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is incredibly important to the process.
I have worked with clients from ages 3 through 80 and with individuals, couples, and families. With that breadth of experience, very little shocks or surprises me, and I am able to develop an individualized approach for each client, combining therapy modalities that play to my strengths as a counselor and that are helpful for the people I’m working with.
Three principles shape all the counseling I do:
- Counseling should be efficient. Counseling has significant costs in time and money. I think the benefits far outweigh the costs but when I can give you the benefits while helping you save on the costs I will do that. So I choose approaches to counseling (like EMDR and EFT) that generally work more quickly. That being said, I don’t want to you to feel better for three to six months and then need counseling again because we only worked on symptom relief and didn’t bring healing to the underlying causes. That doesn’t seem very efficient to me. So my goal is to provide as long-lasting and complete help as possible in as little time as possible.
- The client is always in charge. People are complex and come with years of history that I can never know all of. I know a lot of things but you will always be the one who decides what you want to get out of counseling, how we work towards that goal, whether or not what we’re doing seems to be working, and when we’re done.
- Change and health happen through relationships. The work we do in counseling will touch on how your relationships impact your health. No matter what you come in for, there are always relational implications of change and relational factors that contribute to whatever it is that you came to counseling to change. Change can only happen in counseling because of our relationship. It’s my responsibility to make our relationship a place where you feel heard and accepted.
As a romantic at heart, who is also well-grounded in her Christian faith, I have a passion for helping individuals achieve relational harmony in every aspect of their lives. Whether you are single, dating, engaged, or married, I can assist with self discovery and positive growth, while keeping Christ at the forefront of our journey together. I see both individuals and couples.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience in community-based services, hospitals, and outpatient therapy settings. I specialize in working with adolescents (13+) and adults, with a focus on supporting Black and Brown communities through culturally affirming care. My goal is to help you build self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and cultivate the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges and thrive as your authentic self.
As a Board-Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD), Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Certified Chef with four decades of experience, I offer a distinctive integrative approach to sports performance counseling that combines sports nutrition, performance psychology, and mental health counseling. Licensed in Florida and Utah, I help professional, collegiate, military, tactical, and "life" athletes optimize mental and physical performance while navigating the unique demands of training, competition, recovery, and everyday life.
My expertise includes sports performance counseling, sports nutrition, mental performance, performance anxiety, injury rehabilitation, return-to-play, burnout, overtraining syndrome, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), body composition optimization, fueling for performance, hydration strategies, safe weight management for competition, and athlete transitions—including preparing for collegiate athletics, competing at elite levels, recovering from injury or illness, and transitioning into or out of professional sport.
You don't have to keep carrying it all alone.
Do you find yourself constantly overthinking, feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, or putting everyone else's needs before your own? Maybe you're successful on the outside but silently battling stress, self-doubt, burnout, or the weight of past experiences. Perhaps you're struggling in your relationships, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling disconnected from the person you want to be.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor serving clients throughout Florida and a Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients throughout Oregon. I provide individual therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic stress, burnout, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty setting healthy boundaries.
My passion is helping people move beyond simply surviving. Together, we'll identify the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, strengthen your emotional resilience, and help you develop practical tools so you can experience greater peace, confidence, and fulfillment in your daily life.
Whether you're facing a difficult season, healing from childhood wounds, working through relationship struggles, or learning how to manage anxiety that feels impossible to quiet, therapy can become a place where lasting change begins.

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.
