“Therapy isn’t about fixing something that’s broken. It’s about understanding what is keeping you stuck, and building on your strengths.”

Jerry Kuhn, LMHC · Founder

Why people choose us

Most people arrive after carrying it alone for a long time.

They’ve been taking care of families, managing responsibilities, showing up for work. From the outside it looks handled. Inside it’s anxiety, stress, self-doubt, grief, or the feeling of having lost themselves somewhere along the way.

  • You won't talk in circles

    Sessions are focused. We identify what's actually keeping you stuck, then build skills you can use on a Tuesday afternoon, not just in the therapy room.

  • Progress you can see

    We set measurable goals at the start and use brief questionnaires along the way, so improvement shows up in real numbers instead of a feeling.

  • Honest, not clinical

    Compassionate and direct at the same time. You'll be met without judgment, and without being handed a quick fix that doesn't hold.

  • Rooted in service

    Founded by a Navy veteran of 23 years. Veteran-owned, VA Community Care friendly, and familiar with what it costs to always be the strong one.

Our corner of the Gulf

A small beach town is a good place to put something down.

Englewood is quiet in the summer and full in the winter. There’s a lot of water, a lot of retirees, a lot of veterans, and a lot of people who moved here for a slower life and found that the hard things followed them anyway. That’s alright. We’re here for that part.

We see clients in person at our Englewood office and by secure video anywhere in Florida and Tennessee.

What we treat

Anxiety, depression, trauma, and everything tangled up with them.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or simply tired of carrying everything alone, counseling can help you regain clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of stability. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, solution-focused counseling, and trauma-informed care.

We believe therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about helping people reconnect with their strengths, develop new skills, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

All FAQs →

How do I get started with counseling at Lemon Bay?

Every relationship starts with a free 20-minute phone consultation. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping will change, and whether we're a good fit. If we're not the right practice for you, we'll point you somewhere that is. Call 941-681-0616 or book online.

How long does therapy usually take?

Treatment length varies depending on your individual goals, clinical needs, diagnosis, and progress. We set objective, measurable goals at the start, use brief questionnaires to track progress in real numbers, and check in regularly to make sure we're getting to the root of the problem rather than circling it.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes. We accept Medicare, most Medicare Advantage plans, Florida Blue (Lucet), Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare (Optum), and we work with authorized VA Community Care referrals. Coverage and eligibility vary, so we verify your benefits with you before services begin. If we're out of network with your plan, we can provide a superbill so you can file an out-of-network claim. Self-pay rates range from $80 to $150 depending on the clinician.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes. We provide secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth for clients located anywhere in Florida and Tennessee. Many clients mix both: in person when it's convenient, online when travel, weather, or schedule gets in the way.

Which areas do you serve?

Our office is in Englewood at 1460 S McCall Rd Ste 3D. We regularly see clients from Venice, Port Charlotte, North Port, Rotonda West, Placida, Cape Haze, Grove City and Manasota Key, plus telehealth clients throughout Florida and Tennessee.

Do you work with veterans and VA Community Care?

Yes. Lemon Bay Mental Wellness Center is a veteran-owned practice. Clinical Director Jerry Kuhn served 23+ years in the U.S. Navy. We work with authorized VA Community Care referrals. Call our office and we can help you understand the next steps.
