Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Tampa, FL


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.

Michelle Bell

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to making high-quality mental health care accessible to everyone, especially individuals in underserved and rural communities. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, and through telehealth.

I believe mental health care should be compassionate, collaborative, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, or another mental health concern, we’ll work together to build a treatment plan that fits your life, not someone else’s.

I combine evidence-based medicine with a whole-person approach, recognizing that sleep, stress, relationships, physical health, and daily habits all play an important role in emotional well-being. My priority is helping you feel better while empowering you with the tools to thrive long after our appointments.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Hialeah, FL

Finding LGBTQIA therapists in Hialeah starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly lists experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people, including concerns related to gender identity, sexual identity, family relationships, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Training in affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health-informed care can signal a closer fit. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their approach, who they support, and what you may expect in sessions.

Hialeah has local therapy options, and the number of LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may vary by schedule, specialty, and location. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond nearby offices while keeping care accessible from home. As you compare LGBTQ friendly therapists in Hialeah, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. For some people, therapist background, identity, language, or lived experience may also matter. Reading profiles before booking can help you find a therapist who directly names LGBTQIA+ populations and describes a communication style that fits your needs.

Therapy in Hialeah can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before booking. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Hialeah, FL, who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check insurance fit, and see estimated costs upfront, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to book when you are.
