Is it difficult to find meaning to your life's struggles? Would you like to feel peace, love and harmony in your life? I believe that everyone can reach their potential to overcome personal obstacles that inhibit them from expressing themselves. I help people reach a sense of peace, purpose, direction and well-being. I foster the belief that everyone has something to offer and in their most difficult times can lead us to those special gifts that are within every one of us.

For your convenience I offer Tele-Therapy from anywhere across the state of Florida and in-person sessions at 1502 N. Donnelly St. St. 110 Mt. Dora, FL. I work with adults using CBT, EMDR, and Person Centered approaches. I help clients with trauma abuse, anxiety/depression, coping skills, and grief/loss.

Deandra Hennemann

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi, I’m Deandra, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and EMDR-trained therapist with over 13 years of helping people navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s tough transitions. My approach blends evidence-based techniques (like EMDR and CBT) with genuine compassion—because therapy shouldn’t feel cold or clinical.

After earning my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University, I worked in various settings including: private practice, domestic violence centers, hospitals, elementary to high school education, on-call crisis, detention and rehabilitation centers, specializing in women's and men's health, survivors of trauma, LGBTQ+ folks, or high-achievers battling burnout. I became EMDR-trained in response to the Pulse Night Club Tragedy in Orlando.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me enjoying life by: spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, traveling, or exercising.

I believe healing thrives when you feel safe, understood, and occasionally challenged. If you’re ready for therapy that’s both professional and deeply human, let’s talk.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I am the wife of a veteran, and mother of three. I have been working with children, families and couples for over 20 years. I believe in empowering others and helping them find their own peace. I will work with you, meeting you where you are at, allowing you to work at your own pace. I have always had a calling to help and to heal using humor with a shared understanding of this thing, we call life, and the trials that come with it. I'm here to assist clients to understand that there is another side; and on that side there is hope. I graduated from USC, have been trained in several ways to do heal emotional wounds. Together we can work on anything from simple life issues, ADHD, all things to include extreme trauma(s) such as such as domestic violence. Behavioral issues between parent and child are also a specialty. One of the biggest rewards is watching clients achieve the goals that they set for themselves, and finally realizing that they were able to do what they never thought was possible.

Frequently asked questions

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.
