With over 15 years of experience, I have helped countless individuals navigate the challenges they face and find peace within themselves. Together, we can work towards culminating a healthier and more fulfilling future.

When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my dogs, hiking with friends, cooking, and making flower arrangements. I also enjoy spending time doing artsy activities or attending local events.

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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Hi, I’m Jheanelle Bailey, a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 17 years caring for people affected by cancer. My background spans pediatric and adult oncology, chemotherapy infusion, and inpatient and outpatient cancer care — so I understand the emotional weight a diagnosis can carry, for patients, survivors, caregivers, and families alike.

Supporting people through cancer is my passion, and I also care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate and evidence-based — including medication management and brief therapy — in a judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're carrying anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship stress, or the emotional weight of a chronic health condition. You may be tired of overthinking, feeling stuck, or pretending you're okay when you're not. I enjoy workin with teens, adults, and couples who are ready for honest conversations, practical solutions, and real progress. You'll get compassion, straightforward feedback, and even a little humor along the way because healing doesn't have to feel heavy all the time.

Building a mental health practice means building relationships, and I take that seriously. My work is rooted in understanding your full story, not just your diagnosis. Whether you're navigating anxiety, working through depression, or processing trauma, I bring genuine curiosity and a collaborative spirit to every session. I work with adults via telehealth, which means care on your schedule and in your own space. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling more grounded and more equipped to move forward.

I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years in the counseling field, including 8 years of clinical experience working with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief, and difficult life transitions. I have a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and am trained in EMDR and trauma-focused therapy. I especially enjoy working with women and mothers as they navigate relationships, family life, identity, and the emotional demands of motherhood. Having experienced infertility and the journey to parenthood myself, I have a personal understanding of the grief, uncertainty, and complicated emotions that can accompany that experience. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized, creating a space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported. As a Christian, I’m also able to incorporate a Christian counseling lens into therapy if faith is important to you, while respecting each client’s individual beliefs, values, and preferences.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jacksonville

Searching for therapists in Jacksonville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Jacksonville has therapists across neighborhoods like Riverside, Downtown, San Marco, and beyond, with experience in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and work stress. As you compare options, look for therapists who list specialties, approaches, or populations that align with your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.

In a major metro like Jacksonville, the number of options can make the search more detailed. Location, appointment times, and session format all matter when deciding which therapist is a practical fit. Some people prefer an office that is close to home or work, while others look for virtual appointments that fit their schedule. You can also narrow your search by whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers a free phone consultation, or has a communication style that feels clear from their profile.

Therapy in Jacksonville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing your estimated cost before booking can make the process clearer. Headway helps you compare Jacksonville therapists who take insurance, review detailed profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
