Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Lehigh Acres, FL

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring life's challenges and developing practical tools for lasting growth.

I've spent over 21 years helping people navigate some of life's toughest situations — substance use, trauma, domestic violence, anger, and the kind of challenges that make it hard to see a way forward. I spent the last decade working in court-ordered programs with clients who didn't choose to be in therapy, and I got them to stay. First thing I tell every client: I am your advocate. I'm real, I'm relatable, and yes, I will make you laugh! I'm a seasoned Black woman from New York City, and my NYC energy definitely comes through. Clients describe me as someone who can break through that wall of resistance many people walk in with and I'm proud of that.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that meaningful healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. My approach to therapy is genuine, compassionate, and down-to-earth, creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgement or pressure.

Seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, mood disorders, and other emotional or behavioral challenges.

As a bilingual English-Spanish provider, I am passionate about improving access to high-quality mental health care for diverse communities and creating a safe space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves in the language they know best. My goal is to build trust, empower healing, and support you every step of your journey toward better mental health.

Hi, I am Latasha Cherry, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping individuals find healing, hope, and restoration through compassionate, evidence-based care. Rooted in Christian principles, I provide a supportive space where you can navigate life's challenges, strengthen your sense of self, and develop practical tools for emotional and spiritual growth. Inspired by James 1:2-5 and Mark 11:24, I believe that even in difficult seasons, healing, wisdom, and a restored sense of purpose are possible.

I am a licensed therapist with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. While my educational background includes family systems work, my primary focus is helping individuals navigate life's challenges and create meaningful change.

I work with adults, adolescents, and parents experiencing anxiety, ADHD, parenting concerns, life transitions, stress, and everyday challenges. I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can openly share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Together, we explore what's going on in your life, identify challenges and patterns, and work toward meaningful change.
