Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I'm a relational therapist specializing in treating grief & loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, & parent-child relationships with adolescents & adults. Feeling stuck in a particular area of life such as your relationships, school/work, identity, or emotions? Sometimes we find ourselves repeating old habits that no longer serve us. I often work with individuals experiencing issues around shame and self-worth, who view themselves much harsher than the rest of the world. I offer room to explore these patterns with compassionate curiosity and supportive guidance for you to start trying something different – space for a new narrative.


To heal & move forward you first need to feel seen & heard. I listen deeply to carefully integrate different therapeutic approaches based upon what the individual or family needs from me. The human brain is hardwired for relationship & connection, so I work hard to build a safe space for us to explore, learn, & grow together.


There's a wealth of grit & resiliency inside each of us. It's my job to help you build on the internal strengths that already exist in you. Healing, growth, exploration, & change all take place in a secure relationship – including ours. Beginning therapy is an act of hope & a bid for health. Get in touch for a free 20m consultation & let's get started.

Renee Rivers

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Miramar, FL


Hi, I’m Renée Rivers, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in South Florida. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, teens, and families navigating trauma, identity, and major life transitions. As a first-generation Haitian-American woman, I deeply understand the cultural and intergenerational layers that shape how we relate to ourselves and others. My clinical work is grounded in empathy, accountability, and authenticity, I create a space where you don’t have to explain “everything” because I hold space for complexity. I am especially passionate about helping clients unlearn survival patterns that no longer serve them and redefine success, connection, and rest on their own terms.

I’ve worked in school settings, community mental health agencies, and now lead my own private practice, Reflective Rivers Therapy & Consulting. I hold a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Counseling with a specialization in Couples and Family Therapy.

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.
