I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides a sophisticated intellectual partnership for adults who feel internally chaotic despite external high-performance. My approach is designed for the intellectually curious—the high-achiever navigating "fraud" syndrome, complex trauma, or intense emotional volatility. I offer a high-fidelity space where we move beyond standard therapeutic scripts to name the underlying patterns you have been living in but could not quite see.

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.
