Dr. Sharon Paz Pierson

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.

Lisa Singeisen

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Sarasota, FL


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience. My current focus is working with children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of 2 and 22. My practice is dedicated entirely to this age group because I believe early intervention and meaningful support during formative years can have a lasting, positive impact on a young person's life. I have worked with youth navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, behavioral difficulties, and family, social and school-related stress. I often incorporate play therapy techniques into my work with young people, highlighting the ways that children and youth often express and process their experiences most naturally, through creativity and play. I also have a strong commitment to supporting parents as partners in the therapeutic process.

Bradley Dorrill

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Sarasota, FL


I am licensed as a mental health counselor, and for the past 11 years I have specialized in therapy with children, adolescents, families, and couples, in addition to providing qualified supervision of registered mental health counseling interns. More recently, I served as the clinical director of an infant mental health program in Sarasota, Florida. I received my Master's of Arts in Clinical Counseling from Columbia International University, and have provided therapy for families and couples in their homes, outpatient office settings, and in my private practice.


My approach to therapy for children and parents, and couples is attachment focused. My practice is based on the belief that we all need healthy attachments to significant people in our lives, and when we are hurting, it is then that we need others most. This is why I have found this therapeutic approach to be so effective. Relationships are at the core of our humanity.

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Myers

Finding the right therapist in Fort Myers starts with getting clear on the type of support you're looking for. Therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training and credentials. If you're looking for talk therapy to address anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, a licensed therapist or counselor (such as an LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT) is a common starting point. If you may need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.

With 8931 licensed providers practicing across Fort Myers and surrounding areas like Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and Estero, narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific concern, someone who offers virtual sessions, or a therapist whose approach and background resonate with you. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you feel more confident about the fit.

Therapy in Fort Myers can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many people pay as low as $0 per visit. If keeping costs down is a priority, starting with your in-network options is one of the most straightforward ways to do it.
