I am the wife of a veteran, and mother of three. I have been working with children, families and couples for over 20 years. I believe in empowering others and helping them find their own peace. I will work with you, meeting you where you are at, allowing you to work at your own pace. I have always had a calling to help and to heal using humor with a shared understanding of this thing, we call life, and the trials that come with it. I'm here to assist clients to understand that there is another side; and on that side there is hope. I graduated from USC, have been trained in several ways to do heal emotional wounds. Together we can work on anything from simple life issues, ADHD, all things to include extreme trauma(s) such as such as domestic violence. Behavioral issues between parent and child are also a specialty. One of the biggest rewards is watching clients achieve the goals that they set for themselves, and finally realizing that they were able to do what they never thought was possible.

I have been a social worker/therapist for 20+ years. I received my Masters degree at the University of Buffalo, in Upstate New York. I work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety. Together, we explore how thoughts influence feelings and how feelings shape behaviors. When patterns become unhelpful, they can interfere with relationships, work, and overall well-being. I help clients build insight and practical tools to create healthier, more empowering ways of responding to life's challenges.

Kaitlyn Farmer

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi, I'm Kaitlyn, a therapist who graduated from the University of Tennessee at Martin. I specialize in men's mental health, and I'm deeply committed to helping men feel comfortable, understood, and supported in a therapeutic setting.

I know that seeking therapy can feel like a big step, especially when life is throwing a lot at you at once. Whether you're dealing with stress that feels unmanageable, anxiety that follows you into every part of your day, or a major life transition that has left you feeling uncertain about what comes next, I'm here to help you work through it with practical, evidence-based tools that actually make a difference.

My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, a well-researched method that focuses on identifying the unhelpful thought patterns driving how you feel and behave, and replacing them with healthier, more grounded ways of thinking and responding. CBT is structured and goal-focused, which means we won't just be talking in circles. Every session is designed to move you forward in a real, measurable way.

I chose to specialize in men's mental health because I believe men deserve a therapy experience that respects how they think, communicate, and process challenges. My goal is to make therapy feel less like something being done to you and more like a practical tool you can use to build the life you want.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Fort Myers, FL

Finding couples therapists in Fort Myers starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy may support communication concerns, conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific couples training, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their profiles.

In a smaller market like Fort Myers, local appointment options may be more limited, and virtual care can help expand your search. You may want in person couples therapy near you, virtual sessions that fit two schedules, or a therapist with evening availability. It can also help to review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers a brief initial consultation, and describes how they work with both partners. Reading bios can show how a therapist structures sessions, communicates, and approaches relationship concerns.

Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find Fort Myers marriage counseling options from therapists who match your preferences and offer clear availability, so you can compare bios, confirm your coverage on Headway, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
