Grief counselors and therapists in Florida

Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, or a major life change - you deserve support without judgment. My practice is a safe, compassionate space where you can finally say the things you've never said out loud. I've spent 20+ years walking alongside adults through their hardest seasons. As your sole therapist, I'll know your story deeply and show up consistently - with warmth, honesty, and genuine care.

I believe that trauma and challenging life transitions look different for everyone. It can come from a single overwhelming event, a series of painful experiences, or the quiet accumulation of stress, loss, or unmet needs over time. In my practice, I take a broad and compassionate view of trauma—one that honors your unique story and the ways you’ve learned to cope and survive. Whether you’re healing from past experiences, navigating a difficult life transition, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers a space to begin making sense of what’s happened and reconnecting with yourself in new ways.

Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.

If you are caring for someone with a serious illness, raising a child with complex needs, or running on empty after years of putting everyone else first — this is the right place.

You already know how to show up for the people you love. What's harder is asking for something for yourself. Many of my clients waited longer than they should have before reaching out, because they felt guilty, or because they convinced themselves they could handle it alone. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: getting support isn't a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that you're paying attention.

I am a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life's most demanding chapters — serious illness, end-of-life care, caregiving, grief, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from loving someone with complex needs. My hospice and palliative care background has shaped the way I work: with deep respect for what people are carrying, and a focus on dignity, whole-person care, and what actually helps in real life.

I am also a parent of a child with Down syndrome. I know what it means to receive a diagnosis that reshapes your family's future. I've navigated IEP meetings, medical appointments, the emotional complexity of caregiving, and the way people who love you still don't quite understand. That lived experience is not separate from my clinical work — it's at the center of it. When you sit across from me, you won't have to explain yourself from the beginning.

Mental health is apart of us all! Jessica Herron is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. She started her career as a registered nurse on a progressive coronary unit at age of 21, where she learned mental health is at the core of healing. She obtained her masters degree in 2010, specializing in psychiatric care. She has worked many diverse areas: community, inpatient, crisis, dual diagnosis, detox, emergency room; from children to geriatic and dementia related behaviors. Her passion is to lesson the stigma associated with mental health across the lifespan and normalize a bad day. When she is not serving her community, she enjoys time with her husband and 2 young children; the youngest a heart transplant warrior and indulging in a decadent cupcake.

Welcome! I look forward to meeting with you. My goal is to help you identify and tackle any obstacles that stand in the way of you reaching your goals.
