Find a therapist in Florida — covered by insurance

I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to feel heard and supported. I pride myself on being a proactive advocate for my clients, ensuring that every strategy we implement is tailored to their unique long-term goals.

I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.

My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.

As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:

"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once

"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"

"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."

"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."

With over 20 years of experience and a Master’s in Psychology, I am deeply committed to providing the same high standard of care I would want for my own family. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and entirely focused on helping you reach your personal goals.

I specialize in supporting both adults and children navigating grief, suicide loss, and PTSD. I also have extensive experience helping those managing anxiety, depression, children's behavioral challenges and the unique challenges faced by Veterans and military families. By using an integrative approach, I tailor our work together to fit your specific needs and lifestyle.

I have over 22 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in both the State of Florida and New York, having earned two Master's degrees from Long Island University. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I hold certifications in several treatment modalities including Beautiful Me (self-esteem program for teens), Nature Informed Therapy, mindfulness and trauma resolution.

I am here for you and I look forward to supporting and guiding you through your challenges. I hope to positively motivate you to make changes and to a place of better health, social functioning, and ultimately, happiness.

Meet Teri Roessler-Kennedy, APRN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C

Hello, and welcome. I am Teri Roessler-Kennedy, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care.

I began my nursing career over 10 years ago as a Registered Nurse, working in a variety of specialties including neonatal, emergency, correctional, geriatric, and nursing education. I earned my nursing degree from North Florida Community College and later received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing administration from Thomas University. In 2019, I completed my Family Nurse Practitioner training at Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, and became certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP).

Recognizing the growing need for mental health services in rural communities, I returned to school to further my education and became an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in February 2024.

My goal is to provide personalized care that helps patients improve their mental health, overall well-being, and quality of life. I treat adolescents and adults with a variety of mental health conditions, including:

• ADHD
• Depression
• Anxiety
• PTSD
• Bipolar Disorder
• Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders

I am committed to creating a supportive, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their treatment journey.

Currently accepting new psychiatric patients in Live Oak, Madison, Lake City, Jasper, and Surrounding areas in Florida.

My name is Darryl L. Griffin, and I am very happy to meet you. I have been a mental health professional for many years, graduating from Florida State University with an MSW, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida. I have many years of experience working with several demographics, including children, adolescents, adults and Veterans. I use evidence-based theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and talk therapy. I look forward to working with you, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Something uncomfortable brought you here. You may have tried to move forward and found that something still lingers. You understand what’s going on, but it hasn’t shifted in a meaningful way. My clients come ready to do real work. I meet each person as a whole person, not as a diagnosis or as a presenting problem. I work primarily with adults and young adults, using EMDR alongside CBT and solution-focused and person-centered approaches that support real change. Our focus is on what hasn’t moved and why, so you’re not just managing symptoms but creating genuine, lasting movement forward. If you have done the talking and still do not feel free, I would love to connect.
