Tampa Bay Psychology Associates operates on the simple principle that first responder mental health care should be built for first responders.

We believe that therapy should be intentional, effective, and provided by professionals who are trained to integrate the specific challenges of work in the emergency response field into the framework of the therapeutic relationship. This pioneering approach to treatment has made Tampa Bay Psychology Associates the leading and most celebrated provider of first responder mental health care in the Tampa Bay area.

Our dedicated staff were selected for their proficiency in addressing the specialized and unique issues that impact law enforcement, the fire service, EMS, medical professionals, all branches of the military, veterans, and retirees. Operating as a collaborative team, Tampa Bay Psychology Associates endeavors to match each client with a provider whose experience, specialties, and personality align with their preferences and goals. In addition to serving first responders themselves, we are proud to offer our services to spouses, children, and families of those in the first response field.

Tampa Bay Psychology Associates utilizes a mental health maintenance model- teaching our clientele the most adaptive skills to consistently recognize and independently manage their stressors, allowing for better control and maintenance of their mental facilities. Developing this skill set enables our clients to successfully navigate their lives- on duty and off- with power and resilience.

Beyond resilience training, we provide in-depth and lasting treatment for:

  • Traumatic stress and PTSD
  • Substance use issues
  • Anger and reactivity issues
  • Family changes and challenges
  • Life stage transitions
  • Relationship and marital counseling
  • Depression and Burnout

    We recognize the courage that it takes to seek help, especially for those only used to helping. We take pride in maintaining privacy and confidentiality to support lasting stability and change for our clients. Unfortunately, the consequences that can come from sidelining one’s mental health are known all too well to the first responder community. It is never too late to create positive change and Tampa Bay Psychology Associates exists to assist those who serve.
