Hi, I'm Jheanelle Bailey, a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 17 years of experience caring for individuals with cancer. My background includes pediatric and adult oncology, chemotherapy infusion, and inpatient and outpatient cancer care, giving me a deep understanding of the emotional challenges that can come with a cancer diagnosis. While I have a special passion for supporting patients, survivors, caregivers, and families affected by cancer, I also provide psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and other mental health concerns. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care—including medication management and brief therapy —in a supportive, judgment-free environment where every patient feels heard, understood, and empowered.
If you are caring for someone with a serious illness, raising a child with complex needs, or running on empty after years of putting everyone else first — this is the right place.
You already know how to show up for the people you love. What's harder is asking for something for yourself. Many of my clients waited longer than they should have before reaching out, because they felt guilty, or because they convinced themselves they could handle it alone. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: getting support isn't a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that you're paying attention.
I am a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life's most demanding chapters — serious illness, end-of-life care, caregiving, grief, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from loving someone with complex needs. My hospice and palliative care background has shaped the way I work: with deep respect for what people are carrying, and a focus on dignity, whole-person care, and what actually helps in real life.
I am also a parent of a child with Down syndrome. I know what it means to receive a diagnosis that reshapes your family's future. I've navigated IEP meetings, medical appointments, the emotional complexity of caregiving, and the way people who love you still don't quite understand. That lived experience is not separate from my clinical work — it's at the center of it. When you sit across from me, you won't have to explain yourself from the beginning. www.anchorfamilybh.com

Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes.

Frequently asked questions


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.
