Hi! My name is Deetza (Franklin) Rosen, LMHC. I work with children (age 7-14), teenage girls, their parents, and women of all ages. I have a Masters in School Counseling from Seton Hall University as well as a license in Mental Health counseling. I specialize in helping children of all ages and stages to develop emotion regulation skills. I specialize in treating anxiety.
I provide counseling services to youth, adults, couples, and families experiencing difficulties in their functioning and seeking to improve their performance.
I believe in people's ability to improve how they think, feel, and act, and to successfully navigate the adversities of life.
I earned a Master of Business Administration from The George Washington University and a Master of Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida.
My name is Dr. Josh Waddell, DNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am an integrative psychiatric provider dedicated to healing through identifying root causes of illness. I believe true healing occurs when we understand and address the imbalances within a person’s life. My approach is holistic and individualized, incorporating medication management, psychotherapy, and complementary and alternative interventions.
I have over 15 years of experience in mental health, having worked as a case manager, therapist, and psychiatric nurse practitioner. My work has spanned a wide range of settings, from sitting at the bedside in hospital rooms, to outpatient clinics in rural areas of Tennessee and Florida.
I am a double graduate of Vanderbilt University, earning both my MSN and DNP with a focus in psychiatric mental health. I also hold a master’s degree in clinical mental health and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Tennessee Technological University.
In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as teaching faculty at Yale University in the PMHNP program and am the host of the podcast Mental Maps, where I explore the intersection of mental health, meaning, and integrative care.
I have been a therapist since 2002. I believe in a laid back, and open "fire side" chat format to counseling. I started my career in a Christian Counseling setting with adolescents and families which progressed over to couples and eventually crossing to the LGBTQ and alternative lifestyles such as kink aware. I hold a Masters in Counseling Education from the UCF. I have learned over the years not to take myself too seriously and one should always be open and ready to adjust to change and growth.
I have been a Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida since 2010. I provide counseling support to children, couples, and families and offer a warm, empathetic approach to improve self esteem, mood, and relationships.
Hi, I'm Malikiya Hayes, LCSW, and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a major life transition, or finding yourself stuck in the same patterns in your relationships, your career, friendships, or the way you see yourself, you don't have to figure it out alone. As an LCSW with a background in medical social work, I've had the privilege of supporting individuals through complex life experiences, including chronic illness, cancer-related concerns, caregiver stress, grief, and significant life transitions. I also work with high-achieving women who often feel responsible for everyone else, including eldest daughters who have spent years carrying family expectations, putting others first, and struggling to prioritize their own needs without guilt.
My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to your unique experiences. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions, we'll work together to identify patterns that no longer serve you, build healthier coping strategies, strengthen your relationships, and create lasting change. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe exploring who you are beyond your responsibilities. Together, we'll help you break unhelpful cycles, reconnect with yourself, and build a life that feels authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.
I believe that you are the leading expert on your own life. My role is not to diagnose you from a distance or tell you how to live, but to walk alongside you as a collaborator. I am committed to providing a space defined by total transparency and zero judgment.
In this room, you are safe to be your most authentic self. I will listen deeply to your experiences and reflect what I hear, helping you clear the path toward the goals and growth you define as important. We are in this together, and you will always set the pace."

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.
