Why Port Orange residents choose Caring Therapists
Port Orange offers a unique blend of coastal living, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a strong sense of community. While many residents enjoy the area's relaxed lifestyle, challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting stress, grief, trauma, and life transitions can still impact daily life. Whether you're balancing work and family responsibilities, navigating a major change, supporting a child through emotional or behavioral difficulties, or caring for an aging parent, having a therapist who understands the local community can make a meaningful difference.
Caring Therapists is not a solo practice or an online-only platform. We are a clinician-owned group practice with 12 locations across Florida and more than 120 providers. That means our Port Orange clients benefit from the personal attention of a local team backed by the clinical depth, administrative infrastructure, and continuity of a well-established organization. If your therapist is unavailable, you're never left without support — and if your needs change over time, we can connect you with a specialist within our practice rather than referring you elsewhere and starting over.
Our presence in Port Orange is built on a long-standing commitment to the community. In 2025, Caring Therapists expanded into Volusia County through the acquisition of a respected local counseling practice that had served the area for many years. By combining the trusted relationships and local roots of that practice with the resources and expertise of Caring Therapists, we are able to offer residents greater access to high-quality mental health care while maintaining the personalized, community-focused approach clients value.
Our Port Orange office conveniently serves individuals, couples, families, and children throughout Port Orange, Daytona Beach, South Daytona, New Smyrna Beach, Ormond Beach, and surrounding Volusia County communities. We are easily accessible from I-95, Dunlawton Avenue, and major local roadways. We offer appointments Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 8 PM and Saturdays from 9 AM to 4 PM, with evening appointments available to accommodate busy work, school, and family schedules.
