Hi, my name is Kelly Anderson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC. I was born and raised in New England and now reside in Jacksonville, FL. I have passionately curated a wide-variety of all-inclusive care throughout my career in psychiatry. My previous roles include positions and experience in (Northeast & Southeast USA) multiple inpatient hospital psychiatric units, outpatient private practice, substance use facilities (detox and residential), emergency departments (ED) psych units, crisis stabilization units (CSU), correctional facilities (Duval County), Intense Outpatient (IOP)/Partial Hospital Programs (PHP), LGBTQ+, post TBI/stroke psych care (Brooks Rehab consultant), intellectual disabilities (ID), autism (ASD), active military, community care for Veterans (VA CCN), 1st responders, geriatric psych and more. *************************************************************************** *Access to order a Genesight testing kit directly to your home if interested (covered by most insurances/will be verified prior to testing). *Referrals to a neuropsychologist for a neuro psychological eval if interested/clinically appropriate.
In our first session, we will complete an intake screening and gather your history. At conclusion of our first session, we will decide on a customized treatment plan collaboratively. My goal is for you to leave our first session and subsequent appts, hopeful and empowered. *Grow's Intake Form must be submitted 24 hrs before initial appt or appt may be cancelled as provider needs time to prepare for appt.
I am very down-to-earth and many of my patients report that they have never felt so comfortable with a provider aside from myself. Patience, trust and communication are the key to success.
I enjoy working with patient's of all different backgrounds to help alleviate symptoms and improve one's quality of life. I combine med management and support with some holistic approaches. *Multiple NO SHOWs will result in discharge from practice. Other Grow Therapy med mgmt provider referrals will be provided.
Supportive
As a med management provider, I also provide support to all my patients. The combination of med management and supportive therapy is successful when treating my patient's needs.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT techniques often for cognitive distortions to help patient's reflect and reframe their thought processes.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) as it is very effective in positive behavioral changes, such as addiction or lifestyle changes.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
When treating my patients, I use the evidence-based therapeutic approach solution-focused modality, to provide therapeutic relief to accomplish one's goals and needs.

She was patient and friendly. That was a great start for me as I’m new to therapy and a was quite nervous. She was direct but with humor so no time wasted on something I either of us might not understand. I'm thrilled to have found growtherapy and especially Kelly Anderson.

She is very nice and easy to talk to. I've been dealing with her for over a year and it's been wonderful.

I deal with lots of social aniexty, depressions, and focus/motivation issues. Kelly is an excellent provider. She is focused, super supportive, and very knowledgeable. She is also very kind, understanding and conversational. She makes great recommendations every time. 14/10 best provider I've seen in a while.
