LGBT therapists in Tarpon Springs, FL

I believe that therapy is a journey that first begins with the courage to heal. Therapy should be a safe place to heal, discover, grow, and find moments of selah--which means to pause and reflect. The following quote sums up what I believe the healing process looks like: “Life is like an onion; you peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep” (Carl Sandburg).

My areas of expertise are family, social and interpersonal conflict, parenting, depression, anxiety, sexual identity concerns, academic challenges, anger issues, low self-confidence, esteem and past traumatic experiences. Other areas of expertise include intimate partner violence, LGBTQ, women's issues, grief, romantic relationship issues and stress.

I am a laid back, caring professional.Lets discuss your feelings and concerns and together make a plan to solve your issues. Learn strategies to deal with stress, anxiety and depression. Improve communication with friends and family. Cognitive behavioral and solution focused. Over 30 years in private practice.

Hi there! My name is Alaina and I specialize in working with women who are anxious high achievers, as well as those navigating people-pleasing behaviors and boundary setting. I bring my authentic self into every session, creating a warm, non-judgmental space where we can work together to support your growth and well-being.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that hope and healing are possible for everyone. My counseling approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful change can occur when individuals, couples, and families partner with a compassionate, skilled therapist who provides effective support and practical mental health resources. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can gain insight, build resilience, and work toward their goals. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with you.

Hi there!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have an educational background of school counseling and as a teacher. I enjoy helping clients realize their potential while prioritizing their mental health. My counseling focus is with adolescents to adult-aged clients.

With nearly two decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate the challenges of mental health, substance use, trauma, and life transitions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addiction Professional, and Ph.D.-level clinician, I bring both clinical expertise and genuine compassion to every session.

I believe people are more than their diagnosis, addiction, or current struggle. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, understood, and supported as we work together toward meaningful change and lasting recovery.

You may have learned to navigate spaces where parts of you didn’t feel fully seen or accepted. Over time, those experiences can shape how you see yourself.

What is the story you tell yourself? What messages have you taken in from others—and from the world around you? How have those shaped the way you see yourself?

For many people, these stories are formed in spaces where parts of them felt unseen, misunderstood, or not fully accepted. Over time, this can lead to cycles of self-doubt, shame, or feeling like you have to keep proving your worth.

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.

If you're struggling with anxiety, identity questions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, family dynamics, cultural expectations, or the stress of navigating a world that doesn't always feel safe or affirming. Others are working through LGBTQ+ concerns, exploring their identity, healing from past experiences, or looking for support as they build healthier relationships and greater self-confidence.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to help you better understand what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, emotional well-being, and meaningful personal growth. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, relationships, or major life changes, I strive to help you create a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.
