Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Clearwater, FL


Drawing from twenty years of experience in education and principal of therapeutic schools, I have developed the art of conflict resolution with reticent learners, with parents, with couples and individuals. I have the skillset to support people and transform their perceptions of self to cope with communication issues, anger, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma. My empathetic approach offers people to find positive and creative techniques. I am highly gifted in working to establish and enhance relationships between parent and child/husband and wife using conflict resolution to create opportunities. As a clinician of almost ten years, I interact exceedingly well with individuals and couples to support positive communication and achieve personal growth whether it be in a marriage, parenting/school skills, or within oneself. My understanding, compassion, and acceptance of people when they enter therapy create a safe and trusting environment to unpack problems and develop strategies that enhance well-being, stability, and alternative perspectives on how to address struggles/conflicts.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Tampa, FL

Finding addiction therapists in Tampa starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, drug use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, relapse concerns, and co-occurring anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match what you want to work on, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it may help to look for a therapist who can coordinate with other healthcare professionals when needed.

Tampa offers a broad mix of in-person and virtual therapy options, which gives you more ways to find a therapist for addiction recovery who fits your schedule and preferences. Local office access may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or school, while virtual appointments can expand your options across the Tampa area. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, experience with addiction recovery, and how they describe their work with people at different points in care.

Therapy in Tampa can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find addiction therapists, check estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, confirm your insurance coverage for your specific plan and area, and choose from therapists who are ready to see new patients. You can browse profiles, review specialties, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
