Managing Mental Health Through A Comprehensive Approach

Hello my name is De-Shaunah Dixon. I am a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner with a passion for compassionate care and mental wellness. I am from the sunshine state, Florida. I obtained my dual bachelors degree in Nursing and Sociology from Florida Atlantic University. I went on to further my education by obtaining my Masters of Nursing, specializing in psychiatric mental health and then went on to complete my Doctorate in Nursing Practice. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I take a person-centered approach to treatment, recognizing that each individual has unique needs and experiences. I create a safe and supportive environment where my patients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their mental wellness journey.

Hello, my name is Cynthia. My approach to mental wellness is to join you in a process of self-discovery, acceptance, skills training, behavior modification and healing. I see myself as a guide in your discovery process as we explore life experiences that influence current thought processes and behaviors. You may develop an understanding of how information received from your environment and experiences
influences your thoughts, emotions, urges, decisions, behaviors and resultant consequences. You may wish to learn skills to: address distorted thinking, regulate emotions, control urges, make
sound decisions, and honor your core values and beliefs. Your therapy is tailored to your specific wants and needs. I look forward to working with you. 

Hello my name is Richard. I graduated with my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Rollins College in 1996. Before that, I worked for 10 years in the Social Services field driven by one idea: "being of service to others." My primary areas of practice include working with families, children, and couples. I believe that we all need to attain balance in order to live a fulfilled life. I am bilingual. I speak fluent Spanish and English. You are the architect of your future, allow me the privilege of helping you to build a better future.

Krissy is a licensed clinical social worker and I reside in Port Orange, Florida. Krissy graduated with her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work in 2001 and began her career working with intellectually disabled adults in the sheltered workshop, intermittent CILA/CILA, and home-based settings for 12 years. After getting her Masters in social work, Krissy provided group therapy to clients in her community. Krissy works with clients on feeling confident in using their voices and working towards getting their needs met in healthy ways. Krissy works with people to understand how trauma can affect their thinking and helps them to work toward who he/she wants to be. Krissy works with all ages and any families that need support. Areas of additional training and experience include: depression, anxiety, abuse/neglect, divorce/co-parenting issues, domestic violence, trauma in children/adults, family relationships, and generational dysfunction. 

Krissy’s main goal at the end of each session is for her clients to feel encouraged and more recharged than when they walked in.
