Hi! My name is Kayla. I have been a nurse for 20 years and have been a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner for the past 3 years. I am a mom, spouse, divorcee, cancer survivor, and I love animals. I am here to listen and to meet you where you are. Your mental health impacts every aspect of your life, health, and relationships. I am trained to treat complex and the most common mental health conditions with an individualized treatment plan. My primary population is adults, including geriatrics. As an experienced partner in your mental health journey, finding the right treatment plan for you is my goal.
Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and actively participating in their care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment while remembering that you're much more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Jacksonville
Finding psychiatrists in Jacksonville starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication care. Therapists support care through talk therapy and related approaches. If you are looking for psychiatry in Jacksonville, Florida for concerns like anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see whether their training matches your needs.
Jacksonville has many psychiatry options across areas like Riverside, Downtown, San Marco, Jacksonville Beach, and nearby neighborhoods, which can make the search more complex. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling, appointment format, and follow-up cadence matter. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look for availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, virtual or in-person appointment options, and bio details that explain communication style and approach.
Psychiatric care in Jacksonville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify coverage, see estimated session costs upfront, and book directly when you are ready. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, making it easier to find someone who takes your plan and fits your schedule.
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.
