Top therapists in Florida accepting new patients
Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or struggling with life’s challenges? In my practice, I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey and you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will work hand-in-hand to uncover the strengths you already possess and build the skills needed for lasting change. Whether you are looking for coping skills to manage your life better, a need to identify negative behavior patterns within yourself, or need a safe place and someone to talk to, I work directly with you to achieve any goal.
My own journey into mental health advocacy began when my oldest son was diagnosed with Bipolar I Disorder. As I learned to navigate his diagnosis, I immersed myself in education, support, and advocacy, eventually becoming certified through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to teach all of their signature education programs.
During my seven years with NAMI, I served my community by teaching mental health education classes, leading support groups, collaborating with community organizations, and offering seminars aimed at reducing stigma and increasing understanding.
That work inspired me to return to school and deepen my ability to help others. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University and began clinical practice in crisis intervention and trauma‐informed care at the Children’s Advocacy Center and Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital. I now have my own private practice providing personalized therapy as well as psychoeducational and therapeutic groups throughout the year. I also continue to educate local businesses and community members through professional seminars focused on compassion, early intervention, and mental health awareness. In addition, I serve as an adjunct professor at Florida State University Panama City.
Beyond my professional life, I’ve been married to my high‐school sweetheart for 37 years, and we have two adult sons. I find joy in spending time with family, reading, studying human behavior, walking on the beach, watching sunrises and sunsets, exploring Pinterest, playing the piano, and creating a warm, welcoming home.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you as you discover new possibilities, reclaim your sense of self, and create a life worth living.
As a marriage & family therapist, I am experienced in guiding individuals, couples and families as they work through traumatic and complex situations.
I am here to join with you in your journey toward overcoming depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, perinatal distress, postpartum depression or other challenges you may be facing.
Upon request, I also provide Christian counseling to help individuals and families meet both their emotional and spiritual needs.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is incredibly important to the process.
As a licensed psychotherapist, I believe that mental health is essential for maintaining happiness, well-being, and a sense of security. While it may seem counterintuitive, seeking help is a courageous act, and showing vulnerability is a true sign of strength, not weakness.
I am a licensed mental health counselor, and I have years of experience working with teens, couples, young adults, and families. Navigating the complexities of mental health is a journey, and I'm here to offer support every step of the way. In my practice, I specialize in treating anxiety, mood disorders, depression, self-esteem issues, men's mental health, and relationship issues.
I offer a safe, respectful, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what’s on your mind. I see therapy as a partnership, with your goals, values, and voice guiding our work. I tailor sessions to your needs using evidence-based tools, and I may suggest simple between-session practices to help you build insight, resilience, and lasting change.
Hi, I’m Katie, and I’m so glad you’re here! I believe YOU are the greatest project you’ll ever work on.

Hi!
My name is Alexis. I have been practicing as a clinician for 15+ years. I have seen, heard and experienced it all with clients. There has not been one time where I have judged a person or their behaviors in a negative manner. I strongly believe we are all good people deep inside yet sometimes we are faced with challenges that bring out not the best sides of us. Sometimes we are all in situations where we so strongly want to respond a certain way, yet can't bring ourselves to do so. Sometimes life happens TO US and we are uncertain how to proceed with confidence and calmness. I have been trained in several forms of therapy that will allow me to help an individual or couple in whatever stressor they find themselves dealing with. The most important aspect of my therapy is to teach the client the tools they need to wake up each morning and live their life with appreciation and peace.
I work with children, adolescents, adults and couples. I am trained in several trauma therapies including EMDR and Trauma Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am greatly drawn to CBT and Solution Focused modalities as well. People reach out for therapy for all different reasons. If you find yourself in a situation causing you distress and you are seeking help for it, give yourself a pat on the back, the first step in healing has been accomplished.
I am excited to meet you and I appreciate you taking the time to read my bio.
I promote the healthy development of children, adolescents, adults and families.
