I believe that counseling can excel healing and instill hope in your life. I see individuals that are longing for a better quality of life but unsure of how to get there. My goal is to hold the hope while you do the brave work of coping and healing.
My passion is helping individuals develop practical tools to manage stress, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified First Responder Counselor with more than 10 years of experience providing individual and group therapy to diverse client populations. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals navigating anxiety, disordered eating, life transitions, and the challenges of balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Over the past five years, I have specialized in supporting first responders and others working in high-demand, high-stress environments.
Hi. I'm Kristi. I'm so glad you are here. I invite clients to come with all of their parts. My training is in Internal Family Systems, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. Together we can get to know your system and what healing it is ready for. The process is slow, but massive. Take a deep breathe and enjoy the journey. It is beautiful.
I believe everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to. As a therapist I enjoy creating an environment that makes people feel comfortable sharing their challenges. Through motivational interviewing I help clients discover solutions to their problems and help improve overall functioning while living with day-to-day stress. My experience helping clients with a myriad of diagnoses has prepared me to serve a wide range of individuals with a focus on unconditional positive regard and a collaborative therapeutic environment.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for something to change? You don’t have to figure it out alone. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges who want more clarity, balance, and confidence. Together, we’ll untangle what’s been weighing on you and create a path forward that feels realistic and empowering. Therapy can be a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to move toward lasting change—at your own pace.
I believe that trauma and challenging life transitions look different for everyone. It can come from a single overwhelming event, a series of painful experiences, or the quiet accumulation of stress, loss, or unmet needs over time. In my practice, I take a broad and compassionate view of trauma—one that honors your unique story and the ways you’ve learned to cope and survive. Whether you’re healing from past experiences, navigating a difficult life transition, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers a space to begin making sense of what’s happened and reconnecting with yourself in new ways.
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.
If you're an adolescent or adult carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or the kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating life on your own for too long, therapy with me is meant to feel calm, unhurried, and genuinely supportive. I work with teens and adults facing relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and stress that's hard to shake. I also support parents of children and young adults with ADHD or autism-related needs, and I have experience working with individuals and families facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. My background spans community mental health, crisis stabilization, outpatient care, and hospital settings, so I've sat with a wide range of what people go through.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Tallahassee
Searching for therapists in Tallahassee starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or couples counseling.
Tallahassee has local options across neighborhoods like Frenchtown, Eastside, Westside, and areas near Florida State University, while virtual therapy can give you more flexibility across Florida. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual appointments because they fit better with work, school, caregiving, or transportation needs. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Tallahassee can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Tallahassee, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
