Personalized, holistic mental health care. Because healing starts with being heard.

I’m Melissa Barnett, PMHNP, FNP. I am an Integrative Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I am passionate about helping my patients achieve a greater sense of hope, stability, and happiness in their lives. 

I work collaboratively with my clients to optimize their wellness through a holistic approach. I create personalized healing plans tailored to their unique goals, blending a variety of natural therapies with conventional medicine.

Being board certified in both family practice and psychiatry has given me an appreciation for the connection between physical and emotional health, and enabled my patients to experience transformative healing.

Now accepting new patients, virtually and in person, throughout the state of Florida.

“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals…Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” ~ Pema Chodron
