Hello! I’m Samantha Fernandez (She/Her), a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and proud Latina therapist. I’m now based in Orlando and provide accessible, inclusive, and supportive telehealth therapy for adults and young adults throughout Florida.

​

I became interested in mental health through my own personal journey. As someone who has ADHD and has navigated anxiety, identity exploration, and the pressures that come with major life transitions, I understand how overwhelming it can feel to carry everything alone. My lived experience allows me to show up with authenticity, empathy, and a progressive approach to healing.

​

I earned my Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University and have been practicing since 2021. My work focuses on supporting young adults, college students, and early-career individuals facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, and life transitions.

A key part of my approach is helping clients understand how family patterns, cultural expectations, and generational influences shape their mental health. So many young adults are working to break cycles, unlearn old narratives, and redefine what it means to be well. I’m passionate about creating a therapeutic space where you can explore these patterns without judgment and begin to build a life that reflects your values, not the ones you inherited.

​

I take a progressive, holistic approach to therapy, blending CBT, attachment theory, mindfulness, skill-building, and trauma-informed practices. My goal is to help you better understand your behaviors, emotions, and nervous system so you can create realistic, long-term, sustainable change. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally aware, and rooted in honoring your autonomy and lived experiences.

Whether you’re adjusting to college life, managing ADHD challenges, coping with anxiety and stress, or navigating the complexity of becoming your own person, I’m here to support you in a way that is free of judgment, with humor, and provide tools that actually fit your life.
