Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Fort Walton Beach, 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.

A graduate of Webster University with a degree in Community Mental Health, I have helped clients navigate PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and other challenges that impact their emotional flexibility.

Hello!

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor/Supervisor with over twenty-one years of experience supporting individuals and families. I earned my master’s degree in mental health counseling at Nova Southeastern University (2003). I believe that prioritizing your mental and emotional well-being is one of the most important investments you can make in yourself.

I have 29 years of experience providing mental health services to individuals, couples, groups with diverse populations including community mental health, the school system, and military families. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from University of Southern Mississippi. I then obtained the Master of Science degree in Counseling from Troy State University.

I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, and stress as well as personal growth goals.

I am dedicated to creating a compassionate and client-centered approach utilizing solution-focused and strength- based treatment. I also utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help understand our thoughts and behaviors.

If you're an adolescent or adult carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or the kind of exhaustion that comes from navigating life on your own for too long, therapy with me is meant to feel calm, unhurried, and genuinely supportive. I work with teens and adults facing relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, emotional dysregulation, and stress that's hard to shake. I also support parents of children and young adults with ADHD or autism-related needs, and I have experience working with individuals and families facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. My background spans community mental health, crisis stabilization, outpatient care, and hospital settings, so I've sat with a wide range of what people go through.

Life can feel heavy sometimes. Maybe you’ve been carrying stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, or emotional exhaustion for longer than anyone realizes. You might feel overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything while quietly wishing you had a space where you could finally exhale and just be yourself. Therapy is a place where you don’t have to have it all figured out. I work with adults, teens, and children who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and everyday challenges while learning healthier ways to cope, heal, and reconnect with themselves.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, anxious, discouraged, or unsure of how to move forward? Life can feel heavy when you are trying to manage responsibilities, relationships, stress, and your emotional well-being all at the same time. You do not have to carry it alone.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, I provide compassionate, comprehensive mental health care for adolescents and adults through telehealth appointments. I support individuals facing anxiety, depression, mood changes, stress, relationship concerns, family challenges, life transitions, and a wide range of mental health struggles that can affect daily life and overall wellness.

I am a dual board-certified nurse practitioner with advanced training in psychiatric mental health care. My additional clinical background supports a whole-person view of wellness, allowing care to consider the connection between emotional health, physical well-being, lifestyle, relationships, and personal goals. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered as we work together toward clarity, balance, and optimal wellness.

I’m a cis-gender heterosexual female. My husband and I have a high school aged son. I’m originally from St. Louis, MO but I have lived in Florida for a combined 36 years because I love living in paradise. One of the things I enjoy about virtual work is seeing my clients’ pets too.

I was a non-traditional student and got my bachelor's degree at 29 and my master's degree at 32. The life skills I gained as I worked my way through school have been helpful throughout my career. For some people, the age of their therapist is important. I am 49 years old.

Some of my helpful qualities include being non-judgmental. I have talked to people of all kinds, many ages with all kinds of histories and all kinds of present lives. There really isn't a topic you can't discuss with me, I have never felt a client gave me "TMI" or too much information. You are guaranteed privacy and confidentiality. You can get judgment for free anywhere else. I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they know.

I am often told after first sessions that I'm easy to talk to and those clients feel better just having gotten some things off their chest.

I have treated children and teens throughout my career beginning at my first job in foster care.since beginning in I graduated from my masters degree. I have also treated adults with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, sexual dysfunction, porn addiction, people in the LGBTQ community & people in alternative lifestyles.

I also treated patients in hospice as well as other medical settings. I treat people with chronic illnesses and occasionally I treat people with life limiting illnesses.

Here at Headway I will treat anyone who is 10 or older because I believe they are best suited for virtual therapy. I'm open to appeals about this policy.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who takes a holistic and compassionate approach to therapy, supporting the mind, body, and spirit throughout the healing process. I believe people open up where they feel safest and most understood, so creating a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment is one of the most important parts of my work.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of settings. I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, ADHD, behavioral challenges, family conflict, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties. I help clients better understand their emotions, patterns, and relationships while building healthier coping skills, stronger self-awareness, and greater confidence in themselves and their lives. I also value incorporating psychoeducation into sessions so clients feel empowered with both insight and practical tools they can apply outside of therapy.

My philosophy is that we are never too old to heal, grow, or rediscover joy. I strive to help clients turn pain into wisdom, reconnect with their strengths, and create meaningful change in their lives.
