Therapist

I view therapy as a sacred space for healing, self-discovery, and meaningful connection. While my clinical focus is rooted in trauma, my work also extends into relationships; the ones we have with others, and just as importantly, the one we have with ourselves. I will sit with you in the realness of your emotions; no fixing, no rushing, just presence. I’ll gently challenge when it’s time, and I’ll always make sure you know you don’t have to do the hard work alone.

You might feel misunderstood, overwhelmed by mood changes, or unsure how to navigate relationships in a way that feels natural or fulfilling. Whether you’re dealing with depression, bipolar patterns, or feeling “different” in social or emotional spaces, it can be exhausting trying to figure it out on your own.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fort Myers, FL

Finding addiction therapists in Fort Myers starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction frameworks, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

In Fort Myers, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Florida cities, so virtual therapy can expand the number of therapists available to you. You may also want to consider nearby areas such as Naples if location, scheduling, or therapist fit matters most. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work with your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach to addiction care, including whether they describe a non-judgmental style, harm reduction experience, or work with recovery that may change over time.

Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you compare therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse addiction therapists in Fort Myers, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
