Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Port Charlotte, FL

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 7 years of experience helping people feel more grounded, confident, and connected. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship stress, and self-doubt, and I often help clients understand how past relationship patterns may still be affecting them today. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, so we can meet in the language that feels most comfortable for you.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, weighed down, or stuck carrying things you rarely say out loud, you don’t have to do that alone. I work with people navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, attachment wounds, and PTSD. In therapy, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and help you build a life that feels safer, steadier, and more like your own. Nothing is “too much” here, and you get to set the pace.

I am a compassionate, collaborative therapist who values the whole person. I work from a strengths-based perspective and believe that people have the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change when provided with a safe and supportive environment. I honor each client’s lived experiences, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. My role is to meet you where you are, help you explore what’s important to you, and support you in developing the tools and insight you need for lasting change.

I'm Juan Carlos Martell, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who believes therapy should feel like a real conversation — not a clinical evaluation. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy to help us work through what's weighing you down while reconnecting with what actually matters to you.

I work with adults and teens in navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-doubt, and the quiet question of "is this really the life I want?" Sessions with me are warm, practical, and free of jargon. You'll leave with tools you can actually use — not just insight, but real strategies for your everyday life.

Outside the therapy room, I'm a published author of The Adventures of Kevin & Friends, a children's mental health book series designed to help families talk openly about emotions. I'm also the creator of PsychLife on Instagram, where I make psychology accessible for everyone, and the founder of MindfulPractice, an upcoming mental health app rooted in CBT, ACT, and mindfulness.

Everything I do comes back to one mission: making mental health real, relatable, and within reach. You don't have to figure it out alone.

Be the artist of your own life.
