I believe everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to. As a therapist I enjoy creating an environment that makes people feel comfortable sharing their challenges. Through motivational interviewing I help clients discover solutions to their problems and help improve overall functioning while living with day-to-day stress. My experience helping clients with a myriad of diagnoses has prepared me to serve a wide range of individuals with a focus on unconditional positive regard and a collaborative therapeutic environment.
Hi. I'm Kristi. I'm so glad you are here. I invite clients to come with all of their parts. My training is in Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Together we can get to know your system and what healing it is ready for. The process is slow, but massive. Take a deep breathe and enjoy the journey. It is beautiful.
I believe that counseling can excel healing and instill hope in your life. I see individuals that are longing for a better quality of life but unsure of how to get there. My goal is to hold the hope while you do the brave work of coping and healing.
My passion is helping individuals develop practical tools to manage stress, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified First Responder Counselor with more than 10 years of experience providing individual and group therapy to diverse client populations. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals navigating anxiety, disordered eating, life transitions, and the challenges of balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Over the past five years, I have specialized in supporting first responders and others working in high-demand, high-stress environments.
Hi there, I'm glad you have located me on Headway. I enjoy meeting new people and learning what makes them unique. I will do my best to make you feel comfortable and heard. Setting up a consultation is easy to do so lets get started.
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.
Therapy with me is very human and genuine. I don’t just focus on what’s painful or stuck but help to highlight the ways in which my clients overcome life's punches. While I take this work seriously, I believe laughter can be healing and disarming in therapy.
I earned my Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Florida International University and have worked in a variety of settings, including the foster care system, residential treatment, and community mental health. My background includes supporting individuals navigating trauma, persistent mental health conditions, substance use, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I’ve also worked with veterans, individuals who are unhoused, and LGBTQIA2S+ clients.
In my practice, I work with clients experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also support clients with PTSD, some OCD presentations, and concerns related to gender, sexuality, and queer identity. My work is trauma-informed, affirming, and rooted in helping clients feel both emotionally safe and genuinely understood.
If you are caring for someone with a serious illness, raising a child with complex needs, or running on empty after years of putting everyone else first — this is the right place.
You already know how to show up for the people you love. What's harder is asking for something for yourself. Many of my clients waited longer than they should have before reaching out, because they felt guilty, or because they convinced themselves they could handle it alone. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: getting support isn't a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that you're paying attention.
I am a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life's most demanding chapters — serious illness, end-of-life care, caregiving, grief, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from loving someone with complex needs. My hospice and palliative care background has shaped the way I work: with deep respect for what people are carrying, and a focus on dignity, whole-person care, and what actually helps in real life.
I am also a parent of a child with Down syndrome. I know what it means to receive a diagnosis that reshapes your family's future. I've navigated IEP meetings, medical appointments, the emotional complexity of caregiving, and the way people who love you still don't quite understand. That lived experience is not separate from my clinical work — it's at the center of it. When you sit across from me, you won't have to explain yourself from the beginning. www.anchorfamilybh.com
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with experience working in private practice with clients of all ages and a wide range of concerns. I earned my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2019, and I’m passionate about supporting individuals through life transitions, emotional challenges, and personal growth. I work with concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood-related conditions, and together, we’ll create a space where you feel supported and understood as we navigate what you’re going through.
With over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I specialize in supporting people navigating LGBTQ+ identity, relationships, and the coming out process. Whether you're stepping into your identity for the first time, rebuilding after a difficult transition, or managing the stress and relationship challenges that come with trying to balance everything, you deserve a therapist who truly gets it. I bring warmth, directness, and a genuine investment in helping you feel more like yourself.
I am a kind, open-minded person who genuinely values listening and understanding others. I believe that some of the most meaningful connections begin with simply feeling heard. I have an extensive background and passion for psychology, and I am endlessly fascinated by the brain, the mind, and how deeply connected they are to our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my cats, and traveling whenever I get the opportunity. I naturally enjoy helping others navigate life’s challenges, whether that involves problem-solving, relationships, emotional struggles, or finding new perspectives during difficult times. Helping people better understand themselves and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives is something that brings me genuine purpose.
I also hold a special passion for supporting our military, veterans, and first responders. Being married to one has given me a deeper appreciation and understanding of the sacrifices made by these individuals and their families. I believe the men and women who have served and protected our country are among our nation’s greatest assets, and I feel deeply committed to helping support their mental health, resilience, and quality of life as they continue carrying burdens many others may never fully understand.
