If you're struggling with addiction, carrying the weight of complex trauma, or trying to cope while managing a chronic health condition, I want you to know there's a way forward — and you don't have to walk it alone. I'm a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) with over 16 years of experience across private practice, residential substance abuse treatment, medical social work, and the non-profit world. I've sat with people in their hardest, most overwhelming moments, and I bring that same steady, non-judgmental presence to every session.

Much of my work centers on substance use and recovery, complex trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic medical conditions. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis or finally ready to address something you've carried for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with compassion, real tools, and zero judgment.

You might be the one everyone relies on—the one who keeps it together—but lately, you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected from yourself. Maybe your anxiety is constant, your relationship no longer feels fulfilling, or you keep finding yourself in the same frustrating patterns and don’t know how to break them.

I work with teens and adults who are struggling with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges—especially those who feel stuck between comfort and change. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be real (not just “okay”) while learning practical ways to feel more grounded, confident, and clear about what you truly want.

Whether you’re navigating stress, relationship uncertainty, or just feeling “off,” therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with intention.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Tampa, FL


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 virtual practice supports adults, adolescents, and children (ages 6+) through life's various challenges that arrive when living with diagnoses such as anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Beyond general care, I offer a deep clinical commitment to neurodivergent individuals and the LGBTQ+ community. Whoever you are and however you present, you are STRONGLY encouraged to show up to our sessions comfortably unmasked.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist 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 Estero

Finding the right therapist in Estero, FL starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or trauma — or whether you're looking for general talk therapy. Therapists hold different licenses (LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, psychologist) and may specialize in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or family therapy. Knowing what matters most to you can help you build a shorter, more focused list.

Estero is part of the broader Southwest Florida area, and many providers also serve nearby communities like Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, and Naples. If you're open to virtual sessions, your options expand further — you can connect with any licensed Florida provider from home. Reviewing a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their style, specialties, and what a first session might look like.

Therapy in Estero can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage available in Estero and see estimated session costs before you book.
