Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Tarpon Springs, 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.

Hello! I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. My approach is rooted in the belief that mental wellness is a collaborative journey, and I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard.

Areas of Specialization While I work with a wide range of mental health concerns, I have particular expertise in:

• Anxiety & Mood Disorders: Helping clients manage depression, panic, and generalized anxiety.
• ADHD Management: Providing comprehensive evaluations and personalized strategies for focus and productivity.
• Trauma-Informed Care: Supporting individuals navigating the long-term effects of difficult life experiences.
• Medication Management: Using a "less is more" philosophy to find the most effective pharmacological support when needed, always paired with supportive therapy.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with a background in education and formal training from the University of Montevallo and the University of Alabama at Birmingham. My work is grounded in trauma‐informed therapy and guided by a holistic approach that honors the whole person. I specialize in working with sexual assault survivors and in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment issues, couples, relationships, and PTSD.

I'm Karina Astigarrabia Ferraz, PMHNP-BC — a Board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner practicing in Florida. Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent years as a Board certified nurse in cardiac intensive care, an experience that deepened my understanding of how the mind and body are inseparable. That background shapes the way I practice: I see mental health as rooted in biology, physiology, and lived experience — not just symptoms to be managed. I believe therapy is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools in mental health care. My work centers on evidence-based approaches — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Interpersonal Therapy — integrated with a positive psychiatry framework that focuses on your strengths, resilience, and capacity to heal. When medication is appropriate, I incorporate it thoughtfully as part of a broader, individualized plan. Clients often describe me as warm, unhurried, and genuinely curious about their lives. I collaborate with Brain X Dynamics as an independent clinician, sharing a commitment to whole-person, holistic care — including attention to brain metabolism and the biological foundations of emotional well-being.

I believe that to achieve true overall wellness, prioritizing our mental health is essential. I am honored to support my clients throughout that vital journey.

My name is Dr. Catherine Godoy, and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience. My clinical focus is dedicated to helping those navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. As a veteran of the U.S. Navy, I feel a profound calling to support active-duty service members, veterans, and our first responder community. I intimately understand the unique sacrifices these roles require and am dedicated to providing a clinical space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

My practice is built upon an extensive educational foundation, including a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in Psychiatric Mental Health from the University of North Florida and a second DNP in Community Health and Wellness from the University of Alabama. I look forward to partnering with you to make your mental wellness a priority.

I work with individuals and couples navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, and difficult life transitions. I have particular experience supporting individuals struggling to process grief and loss, or past trauma. My practice includes working with people coping with low self-esteem, substance use, infertility, postpartum mental health concerns, menopause, infidelity, and divorce. I also have specialized clinical experience working with those struggling with chronic illness and chronic pain, caregivers supporting loved ones with Dementia, and clients affected by family estrangement.

My clinical approach is grounded in inclusivity, respect, and social awareness. I am affirming of LGBTQI+ identities, supportive of immigrants, and committed to human rights. I actively work against racism and strive to create a space where all clients feel seen, and safe to explore their experiences.

Hi, I’m Maikel Echemendia, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving patients in Florida through both in-person and telehealth appointments. I specialize in helping adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, insomnia, panic symptoms, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and life stressors.

I’m a clinical and performance psychologist and executive coach, and I teach the emotional skills most of us were never taught. If you feel overwhelmed even though life looks “successful” on the outside, you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are physicians, executives, athletes, business owners, and other high achievers navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, relationship strain, or intense performance pressure. For over 25 years, I’ve helped people build emotional resilience, communicate more effectively, and develop practical tools that create real, lasting change—not just momentary relief.

I work primarily with children ages 3–17, offering individual therapy while strongly encouraging family involvement to support lasting change.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in healthcare, with 13 years including mental health care. My background includes working in high-acuity settings such as ICU and trauma care, which has strengthened my ability to remain calm, attentive, and thorough in complex situations.
