Sharnice White

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Florida


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.

Clarrissa Hazel

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Hi, I’m Clarrissa Hazel. I’m Caribbean-born, a preacher’s kid, and someone who deeply values faith, family, culture, resilience, and personal growth. I work with individuals who are navigating life transitions, feeling overwhelmed, working through addiction, or trying to become a healthier version of themselves. I also enjoy helping couples strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and work through patterns that may be creating distance.

My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and encouraged — not judged. Whether you are carrying stress, trying to find balance, rebuilding after a difficult season, or simply wanting more clarity in your life, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take your next step forward.

Ashlie Larimore

Ashlie Larimore

Therapist

Virtual • Jacksonville, FL


Hi, I’m Ashlie Larimore, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I earned my master’s degree in counseling from Troy University and have spent several years working with children, teens, and adults in both outpatient settings and inpatient crisis care.

Because of my background, I’m comfortable supporting people through everything from everyday stress and overwhelm to life’s heavier moments. I especially enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, emotional regulation, ADHD concerns, life transitions, grief, and family or relationship challenges.

I believe therapy should feel supportive, safe, and real - not awkward, intimidating, or overly formal. You don’t need to have the “right words” or a clear plan when you start. Showing up is enough.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, family conflict, or painful experiences leave you feeling emotionally exhausted and unsure where to turn next. You may be trying to hold everything together for everyone else while quietly struggling yourself, wondering if things will ever feel different. Healing is possible, and you don't have to face those challenges alone. I specialize in helping clients navigate substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, family issues, and women's issues so they can rediscover hope, strengthen important relationships, and create a healthier, more fulfilling future. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors because I believe every person deserves a compassionate space where they feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered to move forward with confidence.

Kassandra Calzada

Kassandra Calzada

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Therapy with me is very human and genuine. I don’t just focus on what’s painful or stuck but help to highlight the ways in which my clients overcome life's punches. While I take this work seriously, I believe laughter can be healing and disarming in therapy.

I earned my Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Florida International University and have worked in a variety of settings, including the foster care system, residential treatment, and community mental health. My background includes supporting individuals navigating trauma, persistent mental health conditions, substance use, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I’ve also worked with veterans, individuals who are unhoused, and LGBTQIA2S+ clients.

In my practice, I work with clients experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also support clients with PTSD, some OCD presentations, and concerns related to gender, sexuality, and queer identity. My work is trauma-informed, affirming, and rooted in helping clients feel both emotionally safe and genuinely understood.
