Therapy & Counseling in Naples, Florida

Many clients arrive already knowing what they're looking for: an EMDR therapist, a Spanish-speaking therapist, someone who works with teens. Below is a quick guide to the specialty areas our Naples office covers and the clinicians who anchor each one.

Trauma therapy & EMDR in Naples

Trauma rarely sits still. It shows up in sleep, in relationships, in the body. Our Naples office has three EMDR-trained clinicians who work with PTSD and complex trauma: Izzah Zainab, Emily Korolevich (who also offers therapy in Spanish), and co-owner Christy Barbale, whose two-decade focus has been trauma recovery. Read more about our trauma and PTSD program, EMDR therapy, or our explainer on how EMDR therapy actually works.

Anxiety therapy for adults in Naples

Anxiety is the single most common reason people in Collier County reach out to us. At our Naples office, Dr. Rebecca Anderson brings a CBT and mindfulness-based approach honed over her years as a licensed psychologist. Chelsea Birmingham and Angelina Papazova work with adults navigating generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic. Priscilla Bovi sees Spanish-speaking clients for anxiety in their first language. Learn more about our anxiety therapy approach and CBT.

Depression counseling at our Naples office

Depression isn't always the textbook version. Sometimes it's tied to a transition or loss; sometimes it's the slow flattening that arrives without a clear cause. Dr. Rebecca Anderson, Chelsea Birmingham, Emily Korolevich, Priscilla Bovi, and Skyler Moore all see clients for depression at our Naples office, with different angles depending on what's underneath. Read more about our depression counseling program or our piece on depression after retirement — a common Naples reality.

Grief, life transitions, and cancer survivor support

Grief in Naples comes in shapes that don't always fit the calendar: the loss of a spouse, the end of a career, a diagnosis that reorders the rest of your life. Christy Barbale brings both clinical training and personal experience to her work with grief and with clients navigating cancer, chronic illness, and the life transitions that arrive uninvited. She also offers therapy for therapists and other helping professionals. Read more about our grief counseling and life transitions programs, or our guide on when grief lingers longer than expected.

Teen, child, and play therapy in Naples

Children and teens often don't have the words for what's wrong, and even when they do, sitting across from an adult and talking isn't always the format that lets them open up. Angelina Papazova, Izzah Zainab, Skyler Moore, and Priscilla Bovi work with children, teens, and young adults at our Naples office — covering anxiety, depression, ADHD, school refusal, LGBTQ+ identity questions, and the kinds of stuck patterns parents can see but can't seem to shift. Read more about our child and adolescent therapy, play therapy, and ADHD therapy programs, or our guide on whether your child might have ADHD.

Our Naples office on Pine Ridge Road has been the home of Florida Coast Counseling since the practice began. Situated just minutes from US-41 and I-75, we're easy to reach whether you're coming from North Naples, Park Shore, Golden Gate, or Marco Island.

Naples is a beautiful place to live. That doesn't make life's challenges any easier. The pressures of daily life, relationship strain, grief, anxiety — these things don't care about your zip code. Our therapists understand the unique dynamics of this community, from the seasonal shifts that affect routines and relationships to the isolation that can come with relocation or retirement. Even seasonal depression shows up in Florida — just not in the way you'd expect.

At this location, our team offers individual therapy, EMDR, CBT, and specialized support for anxiety therapy in Naples, trauma, depression counseling in Naples, and adolescent mental health. With both in-person and telehealth options, we work around your schedule, including evening appointments on Mondays.

Therapy for Marco Island Residents

We see a number of clients from Marco Island who make the short drive across the Jolley Bridge for their appointments. Living on an island is wonderful, but it can also create a sense of isolation, especially during the off-season when the seasonal population thins out and social connections shrink. Whether you're a year-round islander or a part-time resident adjusting to that back-and-forth rhythm, our Pine Ridge Road office is a quick, easy trip from Marco.

Convenient for Bonita Springs Clients

Clients coming from Bonita Springs are always welcome here, and many find our Naples office a natural fit depending on where their day takes them. We also have an Estero office just off Corkscrew Road, so Bonita Springs residents can choose whichever location works best on any given week. Flexibility matters when you're trying to build a consistent therapy routine. For a fuller breakdown of the geographic split between Estero and Naples for Bonita residents, see our guide to therapy in Bonita Springs.

Serving North Naples & the Immokalee Road Corridor

The North Naples and Immokalee Road corridor continues to grow with new neighborhoods, young families, and professionals commuting across Collier and Lee counties. Communities like Grey Oaks, Lely Resort, Naples Park, and the Vineyards are all within a short drive, and our location on Pine Ridge Road (close to both I-75 and US-41) means you can get here easily from almost any direction without fighting downtown traffic. We want getting to your appointment to be the simple part.

Hurricane recovery and storm-season anxiety

Naples and coastal Collier County took serious damage during Hurricane Ian, and many residents are still carrying the emotional weight of that storm and the seasons since. If hurricane watches send your body into a state your mind can't talk down, or you've started avoiding parts of town that flooded, that's worth taking seriously. Our therapists offer trauma-focused care including EMDR. For more on why storm trauma can surface long after the event, see our guides on hurricane trauma and PTSD in Florida and mental health after Hurricane Ian.
