Hello everyone, My Name is Yaimara Cruz known as Yaimi. I live in beautiful sunny Miami, Florida. I am double-certified Nurse Practitioner in Family Practice and Psychiatry. As a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am here to support you in your journey toward mental wellness.
Welcome!
Taking the first step toward mental health treatment can feel overwhelming, and I believe finding the right provider should feel comfortable and supportive. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and genuinely supported throughout their care.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in emergency medicine as a Registered Nurse, along with experience in outpatient psychiatry and interventional mental health treatment settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, stress, and treatment-resistant mood conditions.
My name is Sharnice, I am a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over five years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families navigating a wide range of mental health and medical concerns.
My psychiatric specializations include mood disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, and co-occurring substance use conditions. As a dual-certified provider, I also bring a primary care lens to my psychiatric practice — allowing me to treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply individualized. I believe every person deserves a space that feels safe, affirming, and free of judgment — where their voice is heard and their goals shape the direction of their care. Whether you are seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who will truly partner with you in your wellness journey, I am here to meet you where you are.
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.
My name is Rose Thomas, and I bring over a decade of comprehensive experience in nursing, with a strong background in family practice and chronic disease management. I began my career as a registered nurse, providing bedside care on a cardiac floor, before earning my Master of Science in Nursing from Downstate University.
During my years of service, particularly in underserved communities, I became acutely aware of the critical shortage of psychiatric services available to patients. This realization motivated me to pursue further specialization, and I subsequently obtained a post-master's certificate in psychiatry from Maryville University.
My practice philosophy is rooted in patient-centered, compassionate, and evidence-based care. I am committed to creating a supportive and collaborative environment where clients feel valued and empowered in their mental health journey. My dual expertise in physical and psychological health enables me to take a holistic, integrative approach to each individual's needs. My goal is to support clients in achieving meaningful and lasting well-being, as well as a higher quality of life.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Clearwater
Finding the right psychiatrist in Clearwater starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how that medication is working over time. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) may be the right fit. Some providers also offer talk therapy alongside medication management, though many focus primarily on prescribing.
With many mental health providers practicing across the Clearwater and greater Tampa Bay area, narrowing your search can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or is located near your neighborhood in Largo, Safety Harbor, or Pinellas Park. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry in Clearwater can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
