You deserve a life that isn’t defined by guilt, anxiety, or the pressure to be everything for everyone.
Many of my clients are exhausted from being the responsible one. They're the problem-solver, the caretaker, the one who keeps it together. Everyone seems to need something from them, and somehow they're expected to handle it all without dropping a ball.
Meanwhile, they're battling anxiety, self-doubt, guilt, overthinking, relationship stress, or the feeling that they've lost touch with themselves somewhere along the way.
As a bilingual English and Spanish therapist, I work with people who are ready to stop running on autopilot and start understanding what's actually keeping them stuck. Therapy with me isn't about pretending everything is fine or endlessly talking in circles. It's about understanding yourself more deeply, learning new ways of responding to life's challenges, and creating meaningful change.
Hi, I'm Gamaelle Lubin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting children and adolescents. If you're a parent worried about your child — or a young person feeling overwhelmed — I'm here to help you feel heard, understood, and equipped with real tools to move forward.
For the past three years I've focused on the unique emotional and behavioral needs of youth, helping them navigate challenges and build lasting resilience. I work with children and teens facing anxiety, anger management, OCD, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and other behavioral concerns. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Florida International University, and I'm deeply committed to fostering growth, healing, and empowerment in the individuals and families I serve.
My approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — tailored to each client rather than one-size-fits-all.
I believe that effective mental health care starts with trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and experiences. I work with individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and other psychiatric conditions. Together, we'll focus on understanding your unique experiences and developing a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.
I am a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, curiosity, and practical support. I recognize that every person's story is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, goals, and experiences. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, I am committed to supporting you on your path toward growth and well-being.
Hi, I’m Maikel Echemendia, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving patients in Florida through both in-person and telehealth appointments. I specialize in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, panic symptoms, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and life stressors.
I'm Karina Astigarrabia Ferraz, PMHNP-BC — a Board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner practicing in Florida. Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent years as a Board certified nurse in cardiac intensive care, an experience that deepened my understanding of how the mind and body are inseparable. That background shapes the way I practice: I see mental health as rooted in biology, physiology, and lived experience — not just symptoms to be managed. I believe therapy is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools in mental health care. My work centers on evidence-based approaches — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Therapy — integrated with a positive psychiatry framework that focuses on your strengths, resilience, and capacity to heal. When medication is appropriate, I incorporate it thoughtfully as part of a broader, individualized plan. Clients often describe me as warm, unhurried, and genuinely curious about their lives. I collaborate with Brain X Dynamics as an independent clinician, sharing a commitment to whole-person, holistic care — including attention to brain metabolism and the biological foundations of emotional well-being.
I believe that to achieve true overall wellness, prioritizing our mental health is essential. I am honored to support my clients throughout that vital journey.

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding OCD therapists in Orlando starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, and related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP, or counseling for obsessive-compulsive disorder in their bios, and review how they describe their approach to care.
Orlando has a wide range of therapists across the city and surrounding areas, so it helps to narrow your search by more than specialty alone. Some therapists may list OCD as an area of familiarity, while others describe specific training in ERP or related approaches for obsessive thoughts and compulsions. You may also want to compare appointment availability, virtual or in-person session options, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles can help you see how each therapist structures sessions, communicates about OCD care, and works with concerns that often overlap with OCD, such as anxiety.
Therapy in Orlando can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan, review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
