Through this process, you can gain deeper understanding, foster resilience, and renew a sense of empowerment.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I specialize in working with adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational conflicts, as well as those simply seeking to improve their lives.

I have 9 years of experience working in psychiatric nursing before becoming a nurse practitioner. I worked at Northeast Florida State Hospital in Macclenny, Florida for 9 years as an Registered Nurse. I understand the pitfalls of institutionalization and the path of recovery is a long one but still is achievable with the right support system.

I want you to know that my role is to support you with compassion, respect, and evidence‐based care. I take the time to listen closely so I can understand what you’re experiencing and what matters most to you. My approach is collaborative—I believe treatment works best when we make decisions together. I’m here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel heard. My goal is to help you move toward stability, confidence, and a better quality of life.

Hi, I’m Mary Rose Gullet, LCSW. I am a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and hope. I earned my Master of Social Work with honors from Saint Leo University and have experience working in both inpatient behavioral health and outpatient settings. I currently provide telehealth therapy and have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

My approach is strengths-based and collaborative. I believe that healing happens when people feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop new coping skills, and reconnect with their values and goals. I also have a special interest in trauma recovery, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, and supporting adolescents and young adults.

I understand how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying more than your share. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I work with adults who find themselves stuck in cycles of overwhelming anxiety, depression, panic, and fear, or weighed down by the endless demands of responsibilities. Many of my patients describe feeling exhausted, unfocused, and unable to enjoy the life they’ve worked so hard for—yet they still struggle silently, unsure where to turn for help.
