I try to keep therapy real, practical, and focused on what actually helps. You don’t need to show up with the perfect words or a clear explanation of what’s going on—that’s something we’ll figure out together.

I’m someone who listens carefully but also isn’t afraid to be direct when it’s helpful. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest, think things through, and leave sessions with a little more clarity than you came in with.

Most of all, I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine conversation. My role is to help you make sense of things and support you as you move toward the changes you want in your life.

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...

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.

Therapist

If you are looking for a therapist who can sit with the full picture- the child whose ADHD is shaping the whole household, the teen working through an eating disorder, the parent navigating divorce or the adult who's been carrying it for years- that's the work I've spent the last 23 years doing.

I'm an LMHC licensed in Florida, and I've worked with children, adolescents, families, and (over the past three years) adults across homes, schools, outpatient settings, and social service agencies. I have particular experience with military connected families, blended families, and clients navigating ADHD, eating disorders, anxiety, mood and bipolar disorders, grief, and the kinds of life transitions that shake your sense of self.

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.
