Therapist

Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership.

My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the sheer complexity of being human. I won’t just sit in silence while you do all the heavy lifting; I am an active collaborator who adapts to exactly where you are.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, weighed down, or stuck carrying things you rarely say out loud, you don’t have to do that alone. I work with people navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, attachment wounds, and PTSD. In therapy, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and help you build a life that feels safer, steadier, and more like your own. Nothing is “too much” here, and you get to set the pace.

Cassandra Gustama

Cassandra Gustama

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I work with adults who are tired of surviving everything alone. A lot of the people I support are used to being “the strong one” — carrying anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficult relationships, self-doubt, burnout, or years of unspoken pressure while still showing up for everyone else.

As a Haitian Black woman, I understand how life experiences, identity, culture, and the spaces we move through can shape the way we see ourselves and navigate the world. Therapy with me is not about judging or “fixing” you — it’s about creating space for you to breathe, unpack what’s been weighing on you, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels honest, grounded, and real.

Happy patient looking away

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 8946 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.
