✨ “Those who want therapy the fastest are often the fastest to leave it.” ✨

We get it — when things feel overwhelming, you want help now.
But therapy isn’t an emergency room. It’s a process. It takes time, consistency, and a willingness to do the work.

At Tampa Therapy, our services are among the most sought-after in the area. While we don’t offer same-day sessions, we often have openings within just a few days — which is incredibly rare and something we’re proud of.

💡 Real change doesn’t happen in one session.
It happens over time — when you’re ready to commit.

If that’s you, we’d love to help.

📍 Tampa’s go-to practice for almost 10 years.

💬 Let’s Talk Therapy Fees in Tampa…

We’ve noticed something:
Therapists fresh out of grad school are charging $175+ per session 😳
And many group practices are following that trend.

But at Tampa Therapy, we’ve taken a different approach.
Our rates haven’t changed in 4.5+ years — and we’re proud of that.

✨ Why?
Because we believe mental health care should be exceptional — not overpriced.

We are: ✔️ The #1 rated practice in Tampa Bay
✔️ A team of highly trained, experienced therapists
✔️ Trauma specialists using advanced, evidence-based care
✔️ NOT a profit-driven business

We don’t overcharge.
We don’t compromise on quality.
We simply provide outstanding care at a fair, transparent rate.

That’s the Tampa Therapy difference.

📍 Serving the Tampa Bay community with integrity, excellence, and heart.

✨ New on the Blog: What You Really Need to Know About EMDR ✨

EMDR is one of the most requested trauma treatments — and for good reason. It can be incredibly effective when provided by the right clinician.

But here’s something important: just because a therapist is trained in EMDR doesn’t automatically mean they’re fully qualified to deliver it as intended or to help you get the best possible outcomes.

In our latest blog, we dive into what makes EMDR so effective — and why proper training, experience, and clinical skill matter more than a certification alone.

While it may not always seem or feel this way, it is so. Sometimes identifying ‘what’ requires reflection, deep thought, and introspection to find it. And at minimum, the ability to look within is something to be thankful for.

Truth is, even in the worst of days, all of us still have at least something, and probably many things, to be thankful for.

What are you thankful for? Share below 👇🏼

Though we are finally moving out of hurricane season, it has certainly been an eventful one for us here in Tampa. For those of us who were here during the approaching hurricane Ian, we were reminded all too well of Irma years before. The fear, the panic, the impending doom of our entire area being decimated, and especially low lying areas on the coast. While we were spared, our neighbors to the south unfortunately endured the brunt of the storm.

So much was lost: homes, heirlooms, livelihoods, businesses, pets, lives.

Many people don’t realize that natural disasters, such as hurricanes, especially in areas hit hard, are one of the leading causes of trauma and PTSD.

Dr. Barbash was interviewed by the Tampa Bay Times shortly after Ian on this very subject. The article is linked on our website.

Simply having an interest in working with trauma does not make a therapist a trauma specialist.

If you are really wanting help, it is important to distinguish between the catch-all profiles claiming to work with trauma and those clinicians who, putting it bluntly, actually know what they are doing. This three-part post is written to educate readers about why it is important to work with a real trauma therapist, what a real trauma therapist is and what you should look for when finding a therapist, and what you can expect in treatment with a real trauma therapist.

It’s okay to feel a lot of things right now. Especially for those of us in Tampa Bay, we are balancing the initial phase of fear and doom with the aftermath phase of relief and guilt for being relieved.

Hurricanes are not only stressful events, they can be traumatic events, as well. In fact, any natural disaster can be. Of course, this depends on your particular situation, and how you experienced the storm.

There’s no doubt about it: For our neighbors to the south, this was a significantly traumatic event. For most of us in Tampa, it was highly distressing, and worthy of seeking professional support, as well. 

Natural disasters, such as Hurricane Ian, are one of the often overlooked, but psychologically (and physically, financially, socially) devastating types of trauma.
