I have 9 years of experience working in psychiatric nursing before becoming a nurse practitioner. I worked at Northeast Florida State Hospital in Macclenny, Florida for 9 years as an Registered Nurse. I understand the pitfalls of institutionalization and the path of recovery is a long one but still is achievable with the right support system.

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.

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Tampa starts with identifying what you want to focus on. Some people seek support with coming out, identity exploration, or relationship concerns. Others are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or the effects of discrimination and minority stress. Knowing what matters most to you can help you narrow your search to providers with relevant experience.

Tampa and the surrounding Tampa Bay area have a range of licensed mental health providers — including therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists — with training in LGBTQIA+-affirming care. When reviewing a provider, look for details about their approach, the populations they work with, and whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions. A provider's bio can tell you a lot about their style and whether they may be a good match.

Therapy in Tampa can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
