Shaquitia J

I bring over two decades of clinical experience. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and an Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner with a particular focus on mental healthcare for the past 8 years, my commitment is to use my wealth of experience to nurture the mental and physical health of others. Let’s embark on this journey to mental wellness together.

Now Accepting Clients for Opioid (Florida Only) and Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment

I am currently welcoming new clients seeking support for uncomplicated Opioid Use Disorder (Florida Only) and Alcohol Use Disorder. I offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and supportive therapy. My approach is nonjudgmental and focused on empowering you to achieve lasting recovery.

Important Note on Safety and Care Needs

Your safety and well-being are my top priorities. At this time, I am not able to accept clients who are experiencing a mental health crisis, active suicidal or homicidal thoughts, or self-harming behaviors. These situations require immediate, in-person support to ensure your safety and provide the level of care you deserve.

If you are in crisis, please seek help right away by contacting local emergency services, visiting the nearest emergency room, or reaching out to a crisis hotline. In-person or inpatient care is the most appropriate and supportive setting for these urgent needs.

Thank you for understanding, and please know that you are not alone—help is available.

My approach to mental health and psychiatric treatment is rooted in compassion, understanding, and empathy. I believe in evidence-based practices, personal accountability, and empowerment. It’s not just about treatment; it’s important to understand the complexities of mental health, build a solid therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect, and work together toward better mental well-being.

I like creating a warm. non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can explore your challenges, have open and honest discussions, and find the guidance and support you need.

I am straightforward and goal-oriented but understanding and empathetic, which means we will work to gain a deeper understanding of your challenges, attempt to tackle them head-on, and work together to find solutions.
