Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Deerfield Beach, FL covered by Aetna

Choosing a therapist is one of the most personal decisions you’ll make, and I believe feeling genuinely understood is the foundation of meaningful change. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and have spent over a decade working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, relationship challenges, life transitions, and other complex mental health concerns across diverse levels of care.

My style is warm, authentic, and collaborative while remaining grounded in evidence-based treatment. I strive to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to grow, and empowered to make lasting changes that extend well beyond our sessions. My goal isn’t simply to help you cope—it’s to help you build a life that feels more connected, balanced, and aligned with who you truly are.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and I'm glad you're here. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida, with more than 16 years of experience helping children (ages 8+), adolescents, and adults navigate life's challenges in a warm, affirming, and solution-focused environment. I provide therapy in English and Spanish and support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, adjustment challenges, separation, grief, and loss. My goal is to help you feel heard, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to create meaningful and lasting change.

Hi, and welcome! I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is important. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s challenges. My clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, easy to talk to, and solution-oriented.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, stress, difficult life transitions, and challenges with boundaries or putting their own needs first. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in the belief that your experiences deserve to be understood without judgment.

I strive to create a space where therapy feels like a genuine conversation—one where you can be yourself, feel heard, explore difficult experiences, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. I will support and encourage you while also helping you recognize patterns, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy going to the gym, staying active, taking nature walks, traveling, and getting lost in a good book. These activities remind me of the importance of balance, personal growth, self-care, and making time for the things that help us feel grounded and connected to ourselves.

You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start wherever you are and work together toward where you want to be.

Meet Teri Roessler-Kennedy, APRN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C

Hello, and welcome. I am Teri Roessler-Kennedy, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care.

I began my nursing career over 10 years ago as a Registered Nurse, working in a variety of specialties including neonatal, emergency, correctional, geriatric, and nursing education. I earned my nursing degree from North Florida Community College and later received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing administration from Thomas University. In 2019, I completed my Family Nurse Practitioner training at Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, and became certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).

Recognizing the growing need for mental health services in rural communities, I returned to school to further my education and became an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in February 2024.

My goal is to provide personalized care that helps patients improve their mental health, overall well-being, and quality of life. I treat adolescents and adults with a variety of mental health conditions, including:

• ADHD
• Depression
• Anxiety
• PTSD
• Bipolar Disorder
• Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders

I am committed to creating a supportive, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their treatment journey.

Currently accepting new psychiatric patients in Live Oak, Madison, Lake City, Jasper, and Surrounding areas in Florida.

I know that reaching out for support isn't always easy, so however you got here, I'm glad you did. I work with adults and couples navigating a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, anger and impulse challenges, stress, and issues that arise specifically for women. A lot of the people I see are carrying more than they let on and are simply looking for a space where they can set it down for a while.

Something I care deeply about, both in my own life and in the work we do together, is balance. Life is full, and it's easy to lose track of the things that keep us steady: rest, connection, time for yourself, the people you love. Part of what I hope to help you find is a way of living that feels sustainable and true to what matters most to you.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) who works with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, insomnia, and other mental health challenges. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management while creating a supportive, respectful, and judgment-free environment. My goal is to help you better understand your symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting improvement in your mental well-being.

Hi there!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have an educational background of school counseling and as a teacher. I enjoy helping clients realize their potential while prioritizing their mental health. My counseling focus is with adolescents to adult-aged clients.

With five years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds navigating grief, loss, life transitions, and emotional challenges. Whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, divorce, health concerns, or unexpected changes in life, I strive to provide a compassionate and supportive space for healing and growth.

I specialize in PTSD, anxiety, depression, and support for gay, lesbian, and bisexual clients. For 16 years, I’ve helped people navigate crisis, chronic mental health concerns, and life transitions with care and clarity.

My experience includes inpatient psychiatry, corrections, community mental health, youth counseling, and hospital-based crisis care. I provide diagnostic assessments and therapy tailored to each person’s needs.

I’m committed to creating a supportive, goal-focused space where you can feel heard and understood. If you’re ready to begin healing and move forward, I’d be honored to work with you.

I believe the foundation of meaningful therapy is a strong, genuine relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, challenged enough to grow, and supported every step of the way. I strive to balance compassion with practical, evidence-based strategies so that therapy not only feels validating but also leads to real, lasting change.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, educator, and clinical leader, I bring experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I tailor therapy to each individual, drawing from approaches such as EMDR, CBT, ACT, attachment-based therapy, Gottman Method, and neurodivergent-affirming care. My hope is that you'll leave each session with greater insight, practical tools, and the confidence that meaningful change is possible.

I provide a comfortable and supportive environment in which we explore stressors, thought patterns and feelings that may be contributing to your challenges. Through a strong therapeutic relationship based on respect and empowerment, we will work together to resolve the challenges you are facing and to develop goals deemed most useful in moving you forward to a positive outcome.
