Dr. Moises Ramy
Hello, My name is Moises Ramy. I am a licensed mental health therapist in the State of Florida and a doctor of psychology. I graduated as a Doctor of Clinical Psychology from Carlos Albizu University, Miami Campus and completed my doctoral internship at the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Lexington, Kentucky. At that time, the mission of FMC was a federal prison/hospital for incarcerated females with medical and psychological conditions. During my doctoral internship, I completed three clinical rotations. Two at FMC, in the Crisis Wing and in the General Population Unit and an elective rotation at Ridge Behavioral Health Sstem (formerly Charter Ridge Hospital of Lexington), Lexington, Kentucky assessing suicidality of adolescents in crisis from the Lexington area and the Appalachians. My clinical spectrum covers female and men from diverse populations, members of the LGBTQ community, homeless veterans, and young college students struggling with moderate to severe adjustment issues. During these clinical years, I have acquired vast experience helping clients from all walks of life who suffer from depression, anxiety, stress, interpersonal and relationship conflicts, bipolar disorder, sexual and gender identity issues, abuse and trauma, and co-occurrent substance disorders. I have offered most of my clinical services in diverse prisons and rehabilitation centers, private and community mental health hospitals, and veteran homeless organizations. My exposure and experience working with these populations have extraordinarily helped me gain more awareness about the human greatness and become a more empathetic, non-judgmental and non-directive clinician. My whole idea about psychotherapy is helping clients to help themselves so that they work on healthier solutions, develop strength to cope with their daily challenges and regain competence and control of their life.

Denisha Smith
Welcome! Starting as a peer mediator in 5th grade, the people around me saw something greater in me. I am now a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 7 years of experience working with client's from infants to late adulthood. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and parenting problems. I have helped many people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse, and am also adoption competent. Coupled with CBT, my approach tends to be person centered and solution focused. I am considered an eclectic counselor as I tend to use different techniques and modalities; play is one of my favorites. As standard a practice, I believe you can change as long as you're willing to put in the work! I meet you where you are, move at your pace, and help work to destigmatize you of any labels. Then, we can move in the direction of positive growth. Counseling only works if you do! It takes courage to seek more for yourself and to take steps towards change. It’s my pleasure to help you find your missing peace. I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Michelle Carr
Nothing is more rewarding than helping people acknowledge and utilize their natural capacity to heal, survive, overcome, and thrive. The therapy hour typically feels less like a chore and more like having a genuine, present experience where clients have the space to show up exactly as they are and be themselves. We all deserve the time and energy it takes to have a deep and meaningful relationship with ourselves, and it is my privilege to sit alongside my clients as they do this important work. When I work with clients, I like to create a safe, judgment-free zone where the client feels comfortable talking about anything and everything. I am an empathic, warm, and open-minded person. I like to create a space where clients come in and discuss whatever they want without fear or pressure. I use a combination of therapeutic modalities, such as psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and person-centered. I will recommend coping skills or practice work assignments that clients can do outside of our sessions as needed. I have supported people through anxiety, depression, mood instability, life transitions, domestic violence, day-to-day stressors, and many other concerns. I work toward gaining the client's trust so they feel that I am a professional support here for them to work through any of the life stressors that they may be facing. I also emphasize creating a more balanced life by helping clients discover what self-care practices work for them.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Some of the most commonly asked questions about therapy can be found in the section below.
How much does a therapist cost?
Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location.
BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.
Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.
When should I get a therapist in Florida?
Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.
Does insurance cover the cost of therapy?
Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.
Is online therapy the safe option?
Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
