Top therapists in Florida accepting new patients
Welcome. I am honored you're considering taking this step toward your mental well-being. My name is Tonia Davy-Clarke, and as a compassionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am deeply committed to helping you achieve your mental health goals in a supportive, stigma-free environment. With advanced education from Maryville University in the US and the University of the West Indies, I offer a rich blend of clinical expertise and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that care is tailored to your unique background and experiences. My extensive experience spans a wide range of psychiatric settings and conditions, equipping me to address conditions from anxiety and depression to more complex mental health challenges. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships through open communication, empathy, and a collaborative approach, empowering you to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care. If you're ready for compassionate, personalized support on your journey to wellness, I would be honored to partner with you.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and it is completely natural to have questions or feel uncertain about where to begin. You do not have to have everything figured out before you reach out. Therapy offers a supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I believe that healing begins in a safe, compassionate, and respectful relationship. Your story, experiences, and goals matter, and I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. Whether you are coping with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, or other emotional struggles, we will work together to better understand what you are experiencing and create a path forward that feels meaningful and manageable.
I offer every interested person a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask questions, share your story and learn more about who I am and how I can help you. No pressure, and no strings attached. If you’re ready to reclaim your life, it’s a great first step.
I'm Dr. Claudia Rivero, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC, founder of Be Balanced Mental Health.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, struggling to focus, or finding it difficult to keep up with the demands of daily life, you're not alone.

I believe in a holistic, collaborative, patient-centered approach and remain committed to continuous professional development while upholding ethical practices. My ultimate goal is to support clients on their journey towards improved mental well-being. If you are ready to feel more balanced and in control, I'd be honored to support your and be part of your mental health journey!
I’m Karina Smith, LCSW, founder of Bloom Haven Therapeutic Services❀.

I also support individuals experiencing the lasting impact of trauma or feeling stuck in patterns that are difficult to break.

CURRECTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.
Hey there! If you’re here, chances are something feels heavy right now. Maybe your child is struggling with anxiety, emotional outbursts, or confidence. Maybe your teen feels overwhelmed, shut down, or exhausted from trying to hold it together. Or maybe you’re the one carrying anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, or emotional burnout. I primarily work with children, teens, and young adults who are tired of surviving and ready to feel more grounded, connected, and emotionally safe. I also work with adults and parents seeking support, healing, and lasting change.
Currently, I offer telehealth sessions only. Please reach out by phone or email to get started. In person sessions will be available this Fall!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of FL. I have over 5 years of experience helping children, teens and adults struggling with their mental health. I hold additional certification in the trauma-informed Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a listening-based intervention designed to help regulate the nervous system and support emotional healing. I also utilize treatment modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Play therapy.
Sometimes the way you learned to cope is no longer helping you live the life you want. You may turn to substances when emotions become overwhelming, find yourself reacting with anger you later regret, or feel trapped between anxiety, depression, and painful experiences from your past. These struggles can begin affecting your relationships, family, confidence, and ability to recognize yourself. I provide virtual individual and family therapy in English and Spanish for adolescents, adults, and seniors throughout Florida, with a focus on substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and trauma. I also support clients navigating family and relationship issues, PTSD, grief and loss, stress, major life transitions, women’s issues, maternal mental health, identity concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and eating disorders when these challenges intersect with the primary reasons they seek therapy. My goal is to help you understand what is keeping you stuck, reconnect with your strengths, and develop healthier ways to move forward.
Hi, I’m Casey. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and the founder of Nexus Psychiatric Services, I built this practice for people seeking exceptional clinical care from an approachable, down-to-earth provider.
My professional foundation comes from my years of experience in the acute inpatient psychiatric setting. Navigating these high-intensity settings taught me to bring calming stability to those who are struggling, and I carry that into every outpatient telehealth visit. Today, my practice supports adults, adolescents, and children ages 6 and up through the everyday challenges that arrive when living with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Beyond general psychiatric care, I offer a deep clinical commitment to neurodivergent individuals and those suffering from identity issues. Whether you are feeling exhausted by life, exploring your identity, or trying to help your child thrive, you are welcome to show up to our sessions exactly as you are.
Hi, I’m Maikel Echemendia, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving patients in Florida through both in-person and telehealth appointments.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years in the field of social work. I have a wealthy portfolio of experiences working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. My specialty interests include anxiety, depression, stress, family conflict, and grief. My educational background include a Bachelors of Social Work, Masters of Social Work, and a Doctorate of Education in Counseling Psychology. I look forward to partnering with you to begin the journey toward wellness.
