Hi, I’m Casey. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and the founder of Nexus Psychiatric Services, I built this practice for people seeking exceptional clinical care from an approachable, down-to-earth provider.
My professional foundation comes from my years of experience in the acute inpatient psychiatric setting. Navigating these high-intensity settings taught me to bring calming stability to those who are struggling, and I carry that into every outpatient telehealth visit. Today, my practice supports adults, adolescents, and children ages 6 and up through the everyday challenges that arrive when living with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Beyond general psychiatric care, I offer a deep clinical commitment to neurodivergent individuals and those suffering from identity issues. Whether you are feeling exhausted by life, exploring your identity, or trying to help your child thrive, you are welcome to show up to our sessions exactly as you are.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fort Myers, FL
Finding addiction therapists in Fort Myers starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction frameworks, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
In Fort Myers, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Florida cities, so virtual therapy can expand the number of therapists available to you. You may also want to consider nearby areas such as Naples if location, scheduling, or therapist fit matters most. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work with your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach to addiction care, including whether they describe a non-judgmental style, harm reduction experience, or work with recovery that may change over time.
Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you compare therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse addiction therapists in Fort Myers, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
