My name is Sharnice, I am a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families navigating a wide range of mental health and medical concerns.
My psychiatric specializations include mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, and co-occurring substance use conditions.

Whether you are seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who will truly partner with you in your wellness journey, I am here to meet you where you are.
I take a thoughtful, compassionate, and individualized approach to psychiatric care. I believe effective mental health treatment begins with understanding each person’s unique experiences, symptoms, and treatment goals through a supportive and professional approach.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a background in both clinical practice and nursing education. This allows me to combine evidence-based psychiatric care with a practical understanding of the challenges many adults face in their day-to-day lives.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Clearwater, FL
Finding the right psychiatrist in Clearwater starts with understanding what kind of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage psychiatric care. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also prescribe and manage medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and training match your needs.
Clearwater has local psychiatry options, but appointment supply can vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your choices across Florida, especially if you need evening availability, a specific clinical focus, or a psychiatrist who is accepting new patients. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their approach, areas of focus, appointment format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatry in Clearwater can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
