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.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or emotionally exhausted? I help adults manage anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and ADHD through structured, supportive online therapy. Many of my clients are high-functioning professionals who feel pressure to “hold it together” while struggling internally.

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 13 years of experience. I provide online therapy and am in-network with major insurance plans to make care accessible and practical.

I started my career in New York City then moved my practice to the sunny state of Florida. My experience over the past 15 years is working with adults navigating everything from everyday stress to deeper emotional wounds. Life gets complicated sometimes, but you don't have to do it alone! Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through their most vulnerable moments—and watching them rediscover their strength, gain clarity and build confidence.

Sandra Reynolds

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Riverview, FL


I am a kind, open-minded person who genuinely values listening and understanding others. I believe that some of the most meaningful connections begin with simply feeling heard. I have an extensive background and passion for psychology, and I am endlessly fascinated by the brain, the mind, and how deeply connected they are to our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my cats, and traveling whenever I get the opportunity. I naturally enjoy helping others navigate life’s challenges, whether that involves problem-solving, relationships, emotional struggles, or finding new perspectives during difficult times. Helping people better understand themselves and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives is something that brings me genuine purpose.

I also hold a special passion for supporting our military, veterans, and first responders. Being married to one has given me a deeper appreciation and understanding of the sacrifices made by these individuals and their families. I believe the men and women who have served and protected our country are among our nation’s greatest assets, and I feel deeply committed to helping support their mental health, resilience, and quality of life as they continue carrying burdens many others may never fully understand.

Coretta Mcallister

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


I’m a proud mom of three amazing kids who keep me grounded and remind me of what truly matters. I love spending time with family and friends—playing board games, baking sweet treats, and sharing lots of laughter (often at my own expense!). My faith in Christ is an important part of who I am and guides how I show up for others.

I’ve served my country as a Soldier for over 23 years, which has shaped me into someone who is empathetic, open-minded, and accepting of others. I hold a Master of Social Work from Campbellsville University, and while much of my work has focused on addiction counseling, I also support clients working through trauma, depression, and anxiety.

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, understanding space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.

Together, we create space to better understand those experiences and begin building a path toward healing and growth.

Above all, I want my clients to know that my priority is to create a space where they feel safe being fully and authentically themselves. As a gay man, I understand the importance of having spaces where identity does not need to be explained, defended, or minimized, and I hope to create that sense of safety for each of my clients. I welcome LGBTQ+ adults and young adults, and I offer affirming therapy where who you are is the starting point, not something you have to justify.

Professionally, I am a Miami-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy to clients across Florida. I completed my Bachelor of Social Work in Indianapolis and my Master of Social Work in Miami. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with people navigating some of life's most difficult moments.

My experience includes providing therapeutic services within a homeless shelter's substance use treatment program, as well as working in an inpatient hospital setting. I have supported individuals through addiction and substance use recovery, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, medical crises, and major life transitions. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), harm reduction, solution-focused brief therapy, and positive psychology, and I tailor my approach to what actually fits your life and goals. I am no stranger to difficult conversations, and I want my clients to know that no thought or feeling is unwelcome in our therapeutic space.

Every individual, regardless of background, identity, or lived experience, is welcome in my practice. Whether you are working through recovery, grieving a loss, managing anxiety or depression, or facing a major life change, I would be glad to support you.

I look forward to meeting you!

Hello! My name is Hunter Soens and I am very excited for the opportunity to work together. I have had training experiences primarily working with college students, in a hospital setting for eating disorders, and working with individual athletes and teams. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of South Florida, my master's degree in sport and performance psychology from the University of Denver, and my doctorate in counseling psychology from Springfield College. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, men's issues, and disordered eating, and I take an LGBTQIA+ affirming approach with every client. When working with me, expect a warm, direct, and humorous conversation rather than a lecture.
