Hello, and welcome. My name is Dionne Fontenelle, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with experience helping individuals navigate mental health challenges, substance use concerns, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I hold a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from North Central University and bring over 17 years of clinical experience from my previous career as a Speech-Language Pathologist, where I specialized in assessment, treatment planning, and collaborative care.
If you're an adolescent or adult carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or the kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating life on your own for too long, therapy with me is meant to feel calm, unhurried, and genuinely supportive. I work with teens and adults facing relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and stress that's hard to shake. I also support parents of children and young adults with ADHD or autism-related needs, and I have experience working with individuals and families facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. My background spans community mental health, crisis stabilization, outpatient care, and hospital settings, so I've sat with a wide range of what people go through.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Hialeah starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Affirming providers are trained to understand the specific stressors that LGBTQIA+ individuals may face — from navigating identity and relationships to processing experiences of discrimination or family conflict. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, coming out, gender identity, or something else, a provider with affirming experience can make a meaningful difference in how safe and understood you feel in session.
Hialeah is one of the largest cities in Miami-Dade County, and many providers in the area offer both in-person and virtual appointments — giving you more flexibility to find someone who fits your schedule and preferences. If bilingual care matters to you, many local providers offer sessions in both English and Spanish. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, background, and areas of focus so you can feel more confident about the match.
Therapy in the Miami-Dade area can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available when you use in-network coverage. 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 an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
