Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Fort Pierce, FL

Whether this is your first time experience with therapy or you’re returning after some time away, my goal is to provide a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your story at your own pace. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other emotional challenges.

I am a psychiatric provider who specializes in working with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, and I’m passionate about creating a space where you feel genuinely seen and heard. My clinical background includes formal training in evidence-based treatments for mood and anxiety disorders, and I have experience supporting clients from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. I strive to bring both professional expertise and a warm, grounded presence to every session so that you feel comfortable sharing what’s really going on in your life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, anxious, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward? Life can feel heavy when you are trying to manage responsibilities, relationships, stress, and your emotional well-being all at the same time. You do not have to carry it alone.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, I provide compassionate, comprehensive mental health care for adolescents and adults through telehealth appointments. I support individuals facing anxiety, depression, mood changes, stress, relationship concerns, family challenges, life transitions, and a wide range of mental health struggles that can affect daily life and overall wellness.

I am a dual board-certified nurse practitioner with advanced training in psychiatric mental health care. My additional clinical background supports a whole-person view of wellness, allowing care to consider the connection between emotional health, physical well-being, lifestyle, relationships, and personal goals. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as we work together toward clarity, balance, and optimal wellness.

Whether you are carrying the weight of trauma, feeling worn down by anxiety or depression, or working through a painful loss or a strained relationship, you deserve a space where you feel understood and genuinely supported. I am Shanda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience walking alongside adults, couples, and families through life's hardest seasons.
