Alexa Castaneda, LMHC — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Alexa!

I am a Licensed Mental health therapist with over 13 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold an M.S. in Mental Health Counseling from Carlos Albizu University. I am licensed to practice in Florida (License #MH1220), and I am Board-certified (NCC).

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, multicultural and identity issues, relationship challenges, and dating concerns. I help clients build stronger connections and navigate life transitions.

My approach

I use an integrative approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to tailor treatment to your unique needs. My style is collaborative and empathetic, with a focus on helping you develop practical skills for managing emotions and improving relationships.

My communication style

I strive to make everyone feel comfortable and understand that this is a safe space. I use empathy in all areas of my practice and will meet you where you are and help you make those positive changes needed to continue moving forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am deeply committed to helping people navigate life's challenges and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. I believe therapy is a collaborative, empathetic process, and I strive to empower my clients with the tools and insights they need to create lasting positive change.

My goals for you

I approach goals one step at a time. I acknowledge that every person is different and therefore has different needs.

Our first session

Clients should expect us to start by building a good rapport and getting to know their preferred communication styles.
