Feeling "stuck" is one of the most frustrating human experiences, but it’s often the starting point for meaningful change. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, managing the weight of anxiety and depression, or simply feeling like you’ve lost your way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience. My career began in private practice in 2008, followed by years of dedicated service to active-duty military members and veterans. This background has given me a deep, specialized understanding of resilience, trauma, and the unique pressures faced by high-performing individuals.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Venice, FL

Searching for therapists in Venice starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or marriage counseling in Venice, FL. A therapist’s profile can also show what sessions may feel like, including how they describe their style and the concerns they often support.

In a smaller city like Venice, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Florida markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you see a therapist licensed in Florida. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, background, and approach to care.

Therapy in Venice, FL can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, match your preferences, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
