LGBT therapists in Port Orange, FL

Seeking mental health support is a great act of courage. I am Dr. Glenda Grones, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a PhD in nursing research. My practice is dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults and children (ages 8+) across Florida via a secure telehealth platform.

As a Retired Veteran, I have a personal and professional mission to support those who have served. I understand the unique culture and challenges of military life, and I am honored to offer a safe, stigma-free space where veterans and their families can receive the specialized care they deserve.

• I have been a licensed psychologist since 2007. I have advanced training in eating disorders, PTSD, and suicide prevention. I also have knowledge and a great deal of experience in many different areas, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, etc. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I generally use behavioral, cognitive-behavioral (CBT) and interpersonal modalities in therapy. I was in private practice from 2007-2015 and then worked full-time for the Veterans' Administration (VA) for almost ten years. I have recently transitioned back to private practice. I have been doing only telehealth for the past five years. I must admit that I was skeptical about telehealth at first, but have been absolutely amazed at how effective it is.

You may have learned to navigate spaces where parts of you didn’t feel fully seen or accepted. Over time, those experiences can shape how you see yourself.

What is the story you tell yourself? What messages have you taken in from others—and from the world around you? How have those shaped the way you see yourself?

For many people, these stories are formed in spaces where parts of them felt unseen, misunderstood, or not fully accepted. Over time, this can lead to cycles of self-doubt, shame, or feeling like you have to keep proving your worth.

My name is Patty and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I earned my Master's Degree in 2021 and began my post-grad client hours for licensure. I have inpatient and outpatient experience with children, teens, adults, and the elderly. My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to help clients feel at ease in the relationship. Therapy is a loaded word with all sorts of stigmas and negative connotations that new clients may bring to the room. My first job is to provide an environment where the client feels safe, heard, and valued. Once a solid alliance is created then the real work begins.

I take a holistic approach to therapy, understanding that your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences are all deeply connected. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

I create a space where you can show up as you are without pressure or judgment. Together, we’ll look beyond surface-level symptoms to understand what’s really going on underneath. My goal is to help you find clarity, feel more grounded, and create meaningful, lasting change that actually fits your life.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with an extensive background in critical care. I provide medication management and supportive therapy for adults 18+, focusing on anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is grounded in both clinical precision and an understanding of how life circumstances impact mental health. I offer care that is thoughtful, unhurried and tailored to you.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with 32 years of dedicated practice, I have had the profound privilege of walking alongside individuals and families through life's most challenging moments.

I treat the whole person—not just the symptoms. Whether you are navigating the high-stress demands of a career, the deep pain of grief, or the complexities of family dynamics, I bring a perspective that bridges practical problem-solving with deep emotional healing.

I specialize in helping clients overcome:

• Mood & Anxiety: Panic attacks, depression, OCD, and chronic stress.
• Life Transitions: Divorce recovery, complicated grief, hospice/end-of-life care, and family restructuring.
• Behavioral Health: ADHD management and addiction recovery.

My goal is not just to help you cope, but to help you thrive. I believe that healing happens in a safe, non-judgmental space where your unique story is honored.
