Online mental health care · Florida
When life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to begin. With Sheyla Cunha, there is room to talk about what you’re going through, understand your options, and take the next step together.
Online appointments in English and Portuguese. Self-pay and insurance options available.
You can start where you are
Racing thoughts. Days that feel heavier than they used to. Trouble focusing, sleeping, or finding space for yourself. Whatever brought you here, you don’t need the perfect words—or a diagnosis—to begin a conversation.
What you’re feeling deserves time and attention.
Explore support for what’s on your mind
A person to talk to. A partner in your care.
Getting to know you means understanding more than what feels difficult. Your daily life, your relationships, your background, and what you hope will change all belong in our conversation.
I was born in Brazil and have called the United States home for more than 20 years. You’re welcome to speak with me in English or Portuguese—whichever feels most natural when you’re sharing something personal.
As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, I bring a whole-person perspective to our work together. We’ll talk through your options, make space for your questions, and build a plan around your needs.
