Dr. Sharon Paz Pierson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Naples, FL


I work with individuals who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, anxiety, and self-doubt. On the outside, you may appear put together, but internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure of yourself. Often, these patterns are connected to earlier experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and relate to others.

I believe meaningful change begins with feeling truly seen and understood. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can pause, reflect, and explore what’s happening in your life without judgment.

My background includes mental health counseling and community-based work, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and emotional overwhelm. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and recognize how personal experiences shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others.

I’m especially passionate about helping you understand the patterns and beliefs that influence your life. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you,it’s about gaining clarity, building insight, and developing tools to help you feel more confident, balanced, and grounded.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Myers

Finding a postpartum therapist in Fort Myers starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are common — and providers who specialize in maternal mental health can make a meaningful difference. Look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist with experience in perinatal care, and consider whether you prefer virtual sessions (often easier to fit around a newborn's schedule) or in-person appointments in the Fort Myers or broader Lee County area.

When comparing providers, pay attention to their specific training and approach. Some providers hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), while others may specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, or trauma-focused approaches — all of which are commonly used to address postpartum concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good match before you book.

Postpartum therapy in Fort Myers can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available when you use your in-network benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
