Understanding Your Issues:
I understand that every individual is unique, and your concerns are as individual as you are. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression.
Provider with rich career progression spanning nursing, hospice care, and psychiatric care. Beginning her career as a registered nurse, Xiomara developed a deep understanding of patient care across diverse clinical settings before specializing in psychiatric mental health. Her experience in hospice care cultivated a profound appreciation for the emotional and psychological dimensions of health. As a psychiatric supervisor, she has mentored emerging clinicians while maintaining her own evidence-based clinical practice. Xiomara's approach combines clinical expertise with genuine empathy.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than a decade of experience caring for children, teens, and adults. My goal is to help each person better understand their symptoms and discover practical ways to improve their overall quality of life. I specialize in treating ADHD, behavioral concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood changes.
As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals across the lifespan focusing majorly in adults. I bring a holistic and integrative approach to treatment—addressing both emotional and physical well-being
I believe mental health care should be personalized to the person, not just focused on a diagnosis. I work with adults and older adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being honest about what you’re experiencing. I take time to understand your symptoms, your experiences, and what you want to improve so we can build a treatment plan that fits your needs and goals.
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

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 Therapist in Saint Petersburg
Finding psychiatrists in Saint Petersburg starts with knowing what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication plans. Therapists focus on talk therapy and behavioral support. Both can be valid places to start, depending on whether you are looking for help with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, experience, and approach match what you want support with.
Saint Petersburg has local psychiatry options across Pinellas County, with nearby access to Clearwater, Tampa, and the broader Tampa Bay area. A local office may work well if commute time, parking, or in-person visits matter to you. Virtual appointments can also expand your options, especially if your schedule changes week to week. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, so it can help to read each psychiatrist’s bio for details on appointment style, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Saint Petersburg 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 are accepting new patients and match your insurance, location, and preferences. You can review bios, see virtual and in-person availability, get an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, and choose a psychiatrist who is ready to take new patients.
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.
