Oscar Health Therapists in Florida

Hello, I’m Dr. Francesca Derius, a psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to helping individuals achieve emotional balance and clarity. I offer personalized, supportive care grounded in clinical excellence, empathy, and respect for your unique journey.

My passion is rooted in working with individuals who may find themselves faced with challenges such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, as well as racial trauma. Additionally, I enjoy working with clients within the Black and POC community to help address and decrease the stigma and barriers associated with receiving mental health treatment. *in person appointments available on Tuesdays only

I provide online therapy for adolescents (13+) and adults in Oklahoma, Florida, South Carolina, and Idaho, as well as nationwide coaching for teens and adults. I commonly work with people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, chronic illness and pain, grief and loss, suicidal thoughts, burnout, identity-related concerns, life transitions, and other experiences that affect well-being. Therapy can also be a space for personal growth, greater self-understanding, resilience, and strengthening well-being before life reaches a crisis point. My approach is humanistic, person-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and integrative. I draw from CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, self-compassion, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused interventions, and other evidence-based approaches according to each person’s needs, experiences, strengths, values, preferences, and goals. I also consider the ways mental health can intersect with physical health, relationships, identity, environment, stress, and the body. My practice is 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, neurodiversity affirming, and committed to respecting each person’s autonomy and lived experience. My professional background spans psychotherapy, healthcare, community mental health, crisis intervention, hospice, coaching, education, speaking, and integrative mind-body practices. These experiences contribute to the whole-person perspective I bring to my work. Beyond psychotherapy, I work as an educator, speaker, yoga and meditation teacher, and integrative wellness practitioner. Through Therapy with Z, I offer classes, workshops, professional trainings, speaking engagements, retreats, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, integrative wellness programs, and educational resources. These programs may combine research and theory, practical education, discussion and reflection, experiential practice, movement, and skill building. Many include take-home resources participants can continue using afterward.

I work with adults who are thoughtful, self-aware, and ready for something to change but may feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, overthinking, difficulty setting boundaries, or struggling to say what they really mean. Maybe you’re constantly considering everyone else’s feelings before your own, questioning whether you’re asking for too much, or realizing that the way you’ve been doing things just isn’t working anymore. Our sessions are conversational, honest, and collaborative. We’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work on the things that matter in your day-to-day life not just talk about them. Sometimes that means processing and reflecting; sometimes it means getting practical and figuring out what you’re going to say, what boundary you need, or what step comes next. You don’t need to come to therapy with everything figured out. You just need to be willing to get curious about yourself. From there, we’ll work together.

Life’s challenges—anxiety, depression, stress, and difficult relationships—can leave you feeling stuck. While these struggles can feel overwhelming, meaningful change is possible. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Nourish Within, working with teens, college students, young professionals, and adults. I specialize in eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma, and mood and anxiety challenges. My passion for this work comes from both professional training and lived experience, including my own journey with an eating disorder and depression, which allows me to approach therapy with compassion and understanding. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, integrating CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART uses guided eye movements to support trauma relief, helping the brain process distressing experiences—many clients noticing improvement in as few as one session. I also provide psychoeducation and support for families. I have experience across residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care, giving me insight into how mental health affects both daily functioning and overall quality of life. If you’re feeling stuck or ready for change, I’m here to help. Together, we can work toward clarity, confidence, and a life aligned with your values.

My journey into counseling came from my own childhood experiences of trauma and family conflict. I sought help but couldn't access what I needed at the time. This inspired me to become both a minister and counselor so I could help others in ways I wasn't helped. I've served in church ministries and community work for many years. I'm a person- and family-centered therapist who encourages parent and sibling engagement when appropriate. My goal is to help you focus on your strengths and strive towards personal growth using interactive, solution-focused therapy with practical feedback. I offer spiritual and Christian biblical guidance when requested. I work with clients seeking help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, couples and family therapy, and parent-child therapy. My mission is to provide compassionate, caring, and confidential counseling in a safe and supportive space. I welcome individuals and families from all walks of life, including the LGBT+ community, without judgment. I utilize a trauma-informed care approach and don't see you as a diagnosis. In session, I work to connect with you as an individual, help you understand yourself, problem-solve when necessary, and focus on positive solutions for the betterment of your life and mental well-being. I believe the counseling session is a space for self-exploration, guidance, and support through life's stressors. As an eclectic therapist specializing in trauma-informed care, I use a combination of CBT, psychoeducation with positive psychology, and reality therapy to help you achieve positive changes and personal healing.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality mental health care. I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related disorders. My clinical focus includes trauma-informed care, supported by advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-focused approaches. I work with individuals experiencing both acute and complex challenges, helping them reduce symptoms, build coping skills, and regain a sense of stability and control. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and focused on helping you achieve meaningful, lasting improvement in your mental health. I am committed to creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout your care.

At Mental Magic Psychiatry, I believe that healing is both a science and an art. My mission is to help you reconnect with your inner strength and move toward balance, whether that be mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. My name is Rhonda Heath, APRN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and my practice offers personalized care rooted in empathy, evidence-based methods, and solutions.

I have worked in the mental health field for over 8 years in community behavioral health settings helping teens and adults with co-occurring disorders. I am experienced in treating a variety of common mental health challenges such as stress, depression, anxiety, communication struggles, and life transitions. I am passionate about working with women's issues and young adults who are trying to figure out "adulting". My therapeutic approach is mindful of the needs of my clients to assist them in getting the best outcomes for their goals. In my work with clients, I am a true believer of “meeting people where they are”. I know it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help, so with that I am humbled each time that I get to work with someone. I offer a supportive presence to work through tough situations, and I believe that empathy is a good starting place in the therapeutic relationship.

I am accepting new clients, specializing in women and young adults. As young adults, you have it harder than ever: you’re dealing with a high cost of living, having to live with your parents longer than you’d prefer, poor job prospects, uncertainty about your career, struggling to make and maintain friendships, increasing student debt, as well as the exposure to social media and the high expectations you develop of yourself as a result. Then you have the pandemic that affected so many of you during high school and/or college, causing you to miss the big events that many were looking forward to. I have worked with many young adults over the years and have seen first hand the stress and anxiety that all of this causes your generation. Allow me to help you navigate through these uncertain times and provide you with the tools to help you forge a path forward. Change isn’t easy, and it can be scary, but it is necessary in order to move forward. Together we can work to identify and overcome the obstacles in your life that are preventing you from reaching your potential and realizing your goals. I can help you gain insight and develop healthy coping skills so that you may experience personal growth.
