Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Sarasota, FL

I am a bilingual Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides care in English and Spanish. I enjoy helping children and adults feel more understood, supported, and hopeful about their mental health. I work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, sleep difficulties, mood changes, and focus challenges. My goal is to make care feel comfortable, practical, and centered on what matters most to you.

I am Sandra MacSweeney, MHA, FNP-C, PMHNP-C, APRN, a dual-certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I lead BFF Clinic — Behavior Functional Focus, with care in the Sarasota and Port Charlotte area and in Volusia County, including New Smyrna Beach and DeLand. I have more than 20 years in healthcare.

I treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, sleep disorders, and related conditions, in person and by telehealth, including evenings and Saturdays. Visits are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. My training covers both medication management and the medical issues that often sit underneath psychiatric symptoms: hormones, thyroid, nutrition, inflammation, and metabolic health.

If you're struggling with addiction, carrying the weight of complex trauma, or trying to cope while managing a chronic health condition, I want you to know there's a way forward — and you don't have to walk it alone. I'm a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) with over 16 years of experience across private practice, residential substance abuse treatment, medical social work, and the non-profit world. I've sat with people in their hardest, most overwhelming moments, and I bring that same steady, non-judgmental presence to every session.

Much of my work centers on substance use and recovery, complex trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic medical conditions. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis or finally ready to address something you've carried for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with compassion, real tools, and zero judgment.

If you are caring for someone with a serious illness, raising a child with complex needs, or running on empty after years of putting everyone else first — this is the right place.

You already know how to show up for the people you love. What's harder is asking for something for yourself. Many of my clients waited longer than they should have before reaching out, because they felt guilty, or because they convinced themselves they could handle it alone. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: getting support isn't a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that you're paying attention.

I am a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life's most demanding chapters — serious illness, end-of-life care, caregiving, grief, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from loving someone with complex needs. My hospice and palliative care background has shaped the way I work: with deep respect for what people are carrying, and a focus on dignity, whole-person care, and what actually helps in real life.

I am also a parent of a child with Down syndrome. I know what it means to receive a diagnosis that reshapes your family's future. I've navigated IEP meetings, medical appointments, the emotional complexity of caregiving, and the way people who love you still don't quite understand. That lived experience is not separate from my clinical work — it's at the center of it. When you sit across from me, you won't have to explain yourself from the beginning. www.anchorfamilybh.com

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth care for adults throughout Florida. With over 8 years of nursing experience, I offer supportive and personalized care for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, with bilingual services available in English and Spanish.

I am a licensed APRN ,PMHNP with training in both general medicine and psychiatry, offering a comprehensive and integrative approach to patient care. My background allows me to understand the close connection between physical health and mental well-being, and I strive to treat each patient as a whole person rather than focusing on isolated symptoms.

I completed my medical training in general medicine and later specialized in psychiatry, gaining experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of medical and mental health conditions. My clinical approach combines evidence-based treatments with a compassionate, patient-centered perspective.

My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms. Every patient receives individualized care tailored to their personal goals, medical history, and life circumstances.

Happy to meet you!

I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 11 years. I have shifted my focus from children to adults 19+ over the past 5 years and work primarily with individuals struggling with anxiety and/or depression. I believe brain health is important and contributes greatly to overall satisfaction in life.
