Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm so glad you're here.

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a master's degree from Capella University, and I've had the privilege of walking alongside people through some of life's most challenging moments — from anxiety and depression to relationship struggles, big life transitions, parenting pressures, and career uncertainty.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques — not because one size fits all, but because you deserve support that actually fits your life. Together, we'll work to build insight, strengthen your resilience, and create real, lasting change.

I work with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and LGBTQ+ clients, and I bring genuine care and an open heart to every session. No matter what brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.

We're all a work in progress — and that's a beautiful thing. I'm here to help you move forward, at your own pace, in your own way.

Trust the process. I'll be with you every step of the way.

I got my start working in a residential setting, supporting people through serious mental health challenges, trauma, and addiction. That experience shaped how I see therapy, it’s not just clinical, it’s about feeling understood and not alone in what you’re going through. I now work with people dealing with things like trauma, emotional ups and downs, and substance use, and I’m trained in EMDR. While I have experience with more intense situations, I also work with people who feel stuck, reactive, or disconnected and want to understand why.

Ramon Recio

Ramon Recio

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn about my practice. I am Ramon Recio, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than thirty years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s most difficult chapters. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and completed doctoral coursework in Counselor Education and Supervision. My career has spanned community mental health centers, hospital systems, and private practice in both New York City and the greater Tampa Bay area, including my current work as a Behavioral Health Psychotherapist at BayCare Behavioral Health, St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Over the years I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients: adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions; couples and families seeking to repair and strengthen their relationships; individuals in recovery from substance use; veterans; and people from culturally diverse backgrounds, including children with developmental challenges and their families. I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I welcome clients who prefer to be served in either language.

Outside of credentials and titles, what I most want you to know is this: I am warm, energetic, and genuinely curious about the people I work with. I believe each person carries strengths that are often hidden beneath what they came to therapy to address, and a meaningful part of our work together will be uncovering and using those strengths. I also recognize that for many clients, spirituality, faith, or a personal sense of meaning is an important part of their lives. I am respectful of every client’s belief system and integrate that dimension only when, and how, you want it included.

If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, questions about identity, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, uncertain about their next steps, or frustrated that their usual coping strategies are no longer working. Others are navigating life transitions, stress, career changes, relationship difficulties, or seeking greater clarity and purpose in their lives.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor, I work with adults and couples seeking support, healing, and personal growth. Before entering private practice, I spent more than 40 years in professional and community-focused roles, including addiction recovery support, employee development, counseling services, leadership positions, and advocacy work. I have also actively supported LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities for decades and strive to create a welcoming, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment for all clients.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and respected while we work together to identify meaningful goals, strengthen healthy coping skills, improve relationships, and create lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual • Boca Raton, FL


Dustin R. Kebre; M.A; LMFT; MT3057 My current focus lies in the private practice setting, where I take a special interest in treating trauma, anxiety & depressive disorders in adults. I take a Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) approach, which allows for long-term benefits in fewer sessions than other counseling models. I was intensively trained in EMDR and believe the focus of counseling is to not only work on managing your current struggles, but to develop the tools needed to independently manage future obstacles as well. I use a combination of reflective listening, as well as an instructional approach, to help guide you towards becoming the best version of you!

I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a License in Marital and Family Therapy. I treat individuals, couples and families. I specialize in healing people from pain and suffering. I believe the connection you can develop during therapy provides an environment where you can feel safe and nurtured. We all need this kind of support in a world that seems to care less and less about your needs as a human being. The first step is the most difficult; however, often the most life changing. I look forward in helping you transform your life and be the person you were meant to be.

I am a graduate of Pepperdine University, I am proficient in treating minor to severe mental health issues and disorders. I have extensive experience working with dual diagnosis and addiction. I am competent in healing people with minor to severe mental health issues including trauma and personality disorders. I specialize in treating individuals, couples and families from a family system perspective, as well using multiple evidence based modalities in a integrative approach.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Miami

Finding the right LGBTQIA-affirming therapist in Miami starts with identifying what you want to address in therapy. For some, that may be directly related to identity — like navigating coming out, processing minority stress, or working through family dynamics. For others, identity may not be the focus at all, but seeing a provider who understands LGBTQIA experiences can make it easier to talk openly about anxiety, depression, relationships, or other concerns.

When evaluating providers, look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist who has specific training or experience in LGBTQIA-affirming care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach, background, and whether they feel like a good match. A free phone consultation is another way to assess fit before committing to a session.

Therapy in Miami can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Whether you prefer virtual appointments or in-person sessions in neighborhoods like Wynwood, Coconut Grove, or downtown Miami, you can find LGBTQIA-affirming providers who accept your plan.
