Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Clermont, FL

Hi! I am Dr. Jessica Turner-Evans, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, and Qualified Supervisor.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, develop practical tools for navigating challenges, and create meaningful and sustainable changes in your life.

My graduate school experiences centered around mental health and school counseling. My undergraduate background is in psychology and with most recent post-doc experience from Harvard University, I have a unique perspective of focusing on the mind, body, spirit, and emotional well-being.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and major changes in their personal or professional lives. My clinical and professional work has also included a particular focus on maternal mental health, postpartum experiences, racial and cultural stressors, and overall emotional wellness.

Wanting to find peace from trauma, depression, anxiety, or need help coping with significant life changes? Do you find yourself ruminating about the past, worrying about the future, having difficulty feeling motivated, purposeful or worthy? I help client's cope with recurring trauma and daily stressors by building skills to regulate emotions, tolerate distress, be mindful and present in the given moment, and communicate and interact effectively with others.

Hi! I am a fully licensed mental health therapist. I have been in the business of helping people for over 15 years. I am direct and solution oriented, but will not rush the process.

I work with individuals, children, and families, helping them rebuild life skills while addressing mental health challenges. I completed my Bachelor’s in Psychology at the University of South Florida and earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. I am bilingual in both English and Spanish, and I’ve worked extensively with Hispanic families, making me uniquely suited to address their specific needs.

My additional training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Integrative Harm Reduction Techniques, and I’m currently undergoing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I grew up in central Florida and earned my Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State University, followed by a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. During graduate school, I gained experience working in a treatment facility and with college students at USF, advocating for children’s educational needs while they balanced mental health treatment. This exposure led to my interest in behavior-focused therapy, particularly in using exposure techniques.

I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, Tourette's, and disordered eating.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of Roots Healing Alliance, where I help individuals and couples do deeper, meaningful healing work. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and relationship patterns, using a mix of insight-based and body-centered approaches. My style is warm, direct, and real. You won’t get a “therapist mask,” but someone who’s genuinely in it with you. I’ll support you while also gently challenging you to grow. My goal is to help you better understand yourself and create lasting, authentic change.

As a licensed clinician, I focus on meeting with clients who suffer from trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and mood disorders. I also help those who just need someone to talk to about life stressors and life decisions. I believe in assisting clients in finding their internal strengths and overcoming stressors. I offer both telehealth and in person options for therapy sessions depending on which you would prefer.
