Hi, I’m Ashlie Larimore, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Troy University and have spent several years working with children, teens, and adults in both outpatient settings and inpatient crisis care.

Because of my background, I’m comfortable supporting people through everything from everyday stress and overwhelm to life’s heavier moments. I especially enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, ADHD concerns, life transitions, grief, and family or relationship challenges.

I believe therapy should feel supportive, safe, and real - not awkward, intimidating, or overly formal. You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear plan when you start. Showing up is enough.

I believe healing is most effective when we care for the whole person, not just the diagnosis. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns.

My practice combines comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and trauma-informed care with an understanding of the mind-body connection. I also provide ketamine-assisted treatment for appropriate candidates and incorporate integrative approaches, including nervous system regulation, mindfulness, breathwork, and evidence-informed energy-based practices when they align with a client’s values and treatment goals.

My role is to create a safe, collaborative space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered as we work toward lasting emotional wellness and improved quality of life.

If you're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that hasn't had space to breathe, or the weight of holding your family together while losing yourself in the process, you're not alone. I've spent over 16 years working with adults and older adults, many walking into therapy for the first time after years of pushing through in silence. My clients describe me as warm, calm, and someone they can be honest with without feeling judged. Sessions available in English and Spanish. ¿Prefieres terapia en español? Bienvenida.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and U.S. Navy retiree, I am proud to serve the Florida community where I have lived my entire life. With years of experience across both school systems and private practice, I provide compassionate, comprehensive care for clients of all ages. My background allows me to connect with individuals from diverse walks of life as we work together toward your personal growth and well-being.
