Dr. Daly-Stennis DNP, PMHNP-BC has been a dedicated board-certified nurse practitioner for the past 19 years. She treats each person with dignity and respect while assisting them through life’s difficulties. She specializes in prescribing medications for adults with all psychiatric disorders and individual psychotherapy with a warm spiritual psychodynamic approach.
Finding the right therapist is an important step, and I know it can feel a little intimidating. My hope is that by learning a little about me, you will feel more comfortable before we meet for the first time. I earned my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) from Albizu University in Miami, Fl and have been working for over 9 years in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges in hospitals, inpatient facilities, and private practice. I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, trauma, eating disorders, grief, perimenopause, and other health and women's mental health concerns.
My therapeutic style is personalized because I don't believe once approach fits all. I integrate evidence-based treatments, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness based interventions, and trauma informed techniques. Together, we will work together to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck while developing practical skills you can use outside of our session.

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being fully yourself. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and never judged, while also being supported in making real, meaningful changes in your life.
Clients often share that they feel at ease talking with me, but also appreciate that I’m honest and help them look at things in new ways. I’m not here to just nod along. I’m here to help you understand yourself more deeply, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and figure out what actually works for you moving forward.
I take a collaborative approach, which means we work together to make sense of your experiences and build tools that fit your life. Therapy does not have to feel cold or overly clinical. It can be a space that feels genuine, supportive, and even a little lighter at times, while still doing the deeper work.

Hola, I’m Mercedes. I’m a bilingual (English | Spanish) psychotherapist who supports individuals navigating Anxiety, Trauma, and significant life transitions. My approach incorporates somatic principles to help you develop greater Self-Awareness by listening to what your body is communicating.
I understand how easy it can be to lose touch with yourself when you’ve spent so much time surviving, adapting, or staying strong. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel truly understood, and reconnect with yourself so you can make decisions that feel more aligned with who you are and where you want to go.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Palm Harbor
Searching for therapists in Palm Harbor starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what concerns they often support, and what you can expect in sessions.
In a smaller city like Palm Harbor, local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in a large metro area. Virtual sessions with a Florida-licensed therapist can expand your choices while still giving you access to care from home. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you narrow your list by communication style, experience, and the kind of support each therapist offers.
Therapy in Palm Harbor can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you compare virtual and in-person availability in one place. You can browse therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
