Hello and welcome. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in family medicine and several years of experience providing compassionate, patient-centered care. My journey into mental health grew from a deep desire to better support individuals not only physically, but emotionally and psychologically as well. I believe that true wellness comes from addressing the whole person.

I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported but this is that place...

Therapist

"I want you to become the expert on you." You are the expert on your own life, but sometimes life layers challenges that make it hard to see the way forward—anxiety that keeps you awake, the heavy weight of grief, or the lingering echoes of trauma. My name is June Pittman, and I founded Positive FX Counseling & Wellness because I believe that even in our darkest chapters, we have the innate capacity to create a 'positive effect' on our own mental well-being.

Based in West Palm Beach, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to helping adults and adolescents navigate the complexities of identity and loss. With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University and a background in organizational systems, I bring a grounded, holistic perspective to the healing process—helping you bridge the gap between where you are and the resilient future you deserve.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or the effects of addiction can make it difficult to feel like yourself. You may be exhausted from carrying emotional pain, struggling with relationships, navigating major life changes, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. If you're trying to manage intense emotions, heal from past experiences, or regain a sense of stability and control, therapy can provide a supportive space where you feel understood without judgment and empowered to move forward.

Hi! I’m Kristi Myers, PMHNP

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Tallahassee, Florida, where I was born and raised. I have a BA in Finance and a BSN from Florida State University as well as an MSN from Wilkes University as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. After completing my baccalaureate nursing education at Florida State University, I was drawn to major medical centers, which led me to North Carolina—a place I had come to love during my summers there. In my professional journey, I had the privilege of working at both the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University Medical Center, gaining invaluable experience in high-level evidenced based patient care. Now, back in my hometown, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care to my community.

The strength to heal isn't something I give you — it's already within you. My job is to help you find it.

I work with individuals, families, children, adolescents, and older adults, offering a personalized approach to care that adapts to each person's unique story, needs, and goals. Whether you're navigating something acute or something that's been quietly weighing on you for years, this is a space where you can speak freely, without judgment, and without having to have it all figured out first.

My goal is simple: to create an environment where you feel safe enough to be honest — and supported enough to actually move forward.
