Find a therapist in Florida — covered by insurance

I am an Army Veteran as well as current spouse, so I also can relate to the military lifestyle. All are welcome as my clients! Many people come to therapy with many years of experience in therapy or maybe for the first time. As a client of mine, you can ensure you will find a safe space, free from judgment.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe in prioritizing mental health for all persons as s key to happiness and stability. Congratulations in taking the first and hardest step in seeking mental health treatment. I’ve been practicing for 30 years, but in the last decade, I have been focusing both on med management and individual therapy.

“I’m Kimberly Covington, a trauma-informed therapist and coach with over 13 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Welcome! Creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood is the cornerstone of my clinical practice. I am Dr. Lyda HG. I am a National Board-Certified Counselor (NCC) and Licensed Professional Counselor to practice in Florida (LMHC). I obtained my PhD in Counseling at George Washington University and my master’s in clinical Mental Health at Villanova University.

I am a Catholic, bilingual, and bicultural clinical mental health counselor providing services in English and Spanish. I migrated to the United States 19 years ago as an international student. I bring a deep understanding of diverse lived experiences and the unique stressors related to acculturation and immigration. Also, I am an assistant professor, proudly teaching at the university level, to the next generation of master and doctoral students in Counseling.

Hi! I am here to provide support through your journey. It can be scary, it can feel like it’s not worth it, but you deserve to have emotional peace. Together we can work on that!

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.

I'm Karina Astigarrabia Ferraz, PMHNP-BC — a Board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner practicing in Florida. Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent years as a Board certified nurse in cardiac intensive care, an experience that deepened my understanding of how the mind and body are inseparable. That background shapes the way I practice: I see mental health as rooted in biology, physiology, and lived experience — not just symptoms to be managed. I believe therapy is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools in mental health care. My work centers on evidence-based approaches — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Therapy — integrated with a positive psychiatry framework that focuses on your strengths, resilience, and capacity to heal. When medication is appropriate, I incorporate it thoughtfully as part of a broader, individualized plan. Clients often describe me as warm, unhurried, and genuinely curious about their lives. I collaborate with Brain X Dynamics as an independent clinician, sharing a commitment to whole-person, holistic care — including attention to brain metabolism and the biological foundations of emotional well-being.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in Brevard County, Florida. I'm authorized to serve clients throughout Delaware and Florida.

My focus is supporting clients through life transitions, trauma, and grief. Most of my clients are experiencing a combination of the following symptoms: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and social withdrawal—symptoms that often stem from unresolved traumatic experiences.

In therapy, I help clients explore and process the people, places, and events that contributed to their trauma. Together, we work to reduce the power of triggers and painful memories so clients can focus on their current goals, relationships, and overall well-being.

Additionally, I am a certified Adoption Competent Therapist. As an adoptive parent and former foster parent, I am passionate about supporting children and families in the child welfare system and post-adoption. I help families build, repair, and strengthen attachment, while navigating the unique challenges that can arise from early loss and transitions.

I am a collaborative and interactive therapist that utilizes a variety of psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, EFT, and solution-focused techniques based on the individual client, their wants, needs and goals.

My interest in counseling grew from my own work recovering from childhood trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. I focus on mindfulness based counseling. Therapy can help you achieve a more fulfilling life and relationships. Therapy is a unique relationship, where you as a client can be completely open and honest. The most important factor in the success of therapy is your connection and relationship with your therapist.

I bring a high level of warmth, intelligence, sensitivity and experience to the table. I invite you to contact me to discuss your particular concern.

Areas of particular specialties include:

• Difficult or narcissistic parents or partners.
• Gender Dysphoria.

I’m a LCSW with a Master’s degree in Social Work from San Diego State University. I specialize in helping individuals navigate PTSD and trauma-related challenges, and I strive to create a safe, understanding space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal and grow. I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including outpatient mental health and crisis centers. I have experience working with both military and non-military members to address trauma head-on.

As a doctoral-prepared, dual board-certified psychiatric mental health and adult gerontology acute care nurse practitioner, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to self-care, happiness and success. Congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for several years with my main focus on clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression and PTSD.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this. I am a Doctorate level Clinical Psychologist and offer over 20 years of experience in working from an empathic, strength-based approach that is uniquely tailored to the needs of each person in a safe, non-judgmental environment. My clinical specialties and areas of professional interest include depression and anxiety related to life transitions, aging, care-giver burden, medical issues, grief, relationships and addiction.

I have learned that there is not one approach when working with individuals. I have found that using a wide variety of techniques and skills that are tailored to your needs have been most successful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with mindfulness-based, therapeutic guidance and solution-focused based therapies have been most helpful.

Life transitions are not easy and can rarely be dealt with alone. Support and clarification can truly empower and motivate you to make changes that lead to better mental and physical health. My style is warm, empathetic, approachable, and laid back. My goal is to listen deeply and carefully in order to understand you and your unique experiences. I provide a space where you can feel safe, comfortable and validated.
