Do you need support in understanding, accepting, or navigating your sexual orientation?

Whether you are located in downtown Fort Myers, the suburbs of Fort Myers, other nearby places such as Sarasota, Bonita Springs, or anywhere else in Florida, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.
