Kelly Anderson, MSN
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.
First session
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.
Strengths
I am known for my down-to-earth and approachable style, and many patients have shared that they feel comfortable and genuinely heard during our work together. Building trust through patience, compassion, and open communication is at the heart of my practice.
Ideal clients
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.
Treatment methods
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.
