Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Lakeland, FL

Welcome! I look forward to meeting with you. My goal is to help you identify and tackle any obstacles that stand in the way of you reaching your goals.

Welcome! Taking the first step toward mental wellness takes courage, and I am here to support you in a safe, non-judgmental space. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe in a holistic, compassionate, collaborative, and patient-centered approach to care. My goal is to build trust and develop a strong therapeutic relationship with you. By considering your physical health, lifestyle, and social factors alongside your mental health, we can work together to achieve your long-term well-being. You deserve to feel empowered, understood, and supported throughout your entire journey.

My focus is to help you heal, energize, and become aware of how you want to define yourself. This is achieved through providing a client-centered environment while creating a treatment plan to move you toward feeling more self-love. I utilize techniques from solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and narrative therapies to help you feel more comfortable and capable in your own skin.

I have 29 years of experience providing mental health services to individuals, couples, groups with diverse populations including community mental health, the school system, and military families. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from University of Southern Mississippi. I then obtained the Master of Science degree in Counseling from Troy State University.

I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, and stress as well as personal growth goals.

I am dedicated to creating a compassionate and client-centered approach utilizing solution-focused and strength- based treatment. I also utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help understand our thoughts and behaviors.

I’m Brittany, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, individualized care for both adults and children—because mental health support should meet you where you are, at every stage of life.

I believe psychiatric care should never feel rushed, dismissive, or one-size-fits-all. My approach centers on listening first, understanding the whole person, and creating a plan that actually works for you.

Through secure telehealth, I support individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, emotional regulation challenges, and major life transitions.

This space is for real conversations, clarity, and care without judgment.

✨ Mental health care — done differently.

✨ Support that adapts to you, not the other way around.

✨ You don’t have to do this alone.

My name is Alexa Vazquez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Florida international University. I specialize in working with individuals and families, supporting them as they navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and parenting dynamics.

I work with adults and adolescents who are carrying burdens they're ready to put down, whether that's trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral struggles, or the weight of a life that feels out of balance. In our work together, I help them build real, practical skills for lasting change using evidence-based approaches tailored to their unique story. Healing isn't linear, but with the right support, it is absolutely possible.
