Find a Therapist in Florida

Florida therapists commonly accept Florida Blue (BCBS of Florida), Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Florida Medicaid (MMA), and HealthFirst. Many therapists accept Medicare given Florida's large retired population. Miami-area therapists often accept South Florida-specific plans. Florida participates in federal Marketplace plans through Covered Florida.

Florida's Baker Act (Florida Mental Health Act) allows for involuntary examination of a person who may have a mental illness and poses a risk to themselves or others — performed at a receiving facility for up to 72 hours. This is separate from regular outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know needs non-emergency mental health support, a licensed Florida therapist or 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) is the right starting point.
