Meet Teri Roessler-Kennedy, APRN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C

Hello, and welcome. I am Teri Roessler-Kennedy, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care.

I began my nursing career over 10 years ago as a Registered Nurse, working in a variety of specialties including neonatal, emergency, correctional, geriatric, and nursing education. I earned my nursing degree from North Florida Community College and later received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing administration from Thomas University. In 2019, I completed my Family Nurse Practitioner training at Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, and became certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).

Recognizing the growing need for mental health services in rural communities, I returned to school to further my education and became an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in February 2024.

My goal is to provide personalized care that helps patients improve their mental health, overall well-being, and quality of life. I treat adolescents and adults with a variety of mental health conditions, including:

  • ADHD
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • PTSD
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders

I am committed to creating a supportive, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their treatment journey.

Currently accepting new psychiatric patients in Live Oak, Madison, Lake City, Jasper, and Surrounding areas in Florida.
