Getting to know Jaclyn Bellassai
"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly." - Chuang Tzu
Hello! I’m Dr. Jaclyn Bellassai, a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) triple board-certified in Psychiatry, Addiction, and Family Medicine. For me, practicing medicine is a profound privilege. I approach every individual with genuine sensitivity and compassion, deeply honoring the trust my patients place in me. By looking through my patients' eyes and integrating their unique history, culture, and belief systems, I ensure that every treatment plan is truly patient-centered.
As a highly specialized clinician, my extensive background spans across diverse populations and complex care settings. My experience in psychiatric hospitals and acute care has expertly prepared me to manage severe, intricate cases - ranging from schizoaffective disorder to severe major depression—including navigating Baker Act court proceedings and coordinating multi-disciplinary discharge plans. Additionally, my specialized expertise in addiction medicine and subacute residential care allows me to provide comprehensive stabilization for those recovering from substance use disorders, alongside dedicated psychiatric care for vulnerable older adults in skilled nursing facilities.
My educational foundation includes a Doctorate and Master's degree from the University of South Florida (USF) specializing in family medicine, alongside psychiatric training at Florida State University (FSU). Holding triple certifications allows me to view mental wellness through a holistic lens, expertly identifying underlying physical health conditions that may mimic or compound psychiatric and substance-related symptoms.
I look forward to partnering with you on your wellness journey and providing the compassionate, dedicated care you deserve!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My clients can expect an active listener who is there to help guide and at times direct their care so they can live their best life whether it be with medication management or therapy.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

I wish Grow Therapy granted patients the ability to select more than two Therapy styles. Dr. Jaclyn Bellasai encompasses a therapy style beyond the "Warm" and "Open-Minded" options I selected. She responds to my needs with directness, kindness, and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking mental health assistance as she will become a strong asset and supporter through anyone's journey to mental health recovery.

I feel as though we could be good friends in another situation. She is funny, supportive, candid and really caring and puts you at ease.

I’m so glad that I have found Dr. Bellassai, she has truly been helping me manage my mental health and come up with solutions for what will work best for me. Medicine that’s tailored towards me and my personal issues. What’s best for my body as a whole. She is very smart and I feel comfortable having her manage my medication. She is warm, friendly, authentic, and solution oriented, as well as open minded. She really tries to get to the root of things. I have seen quite a few doctors and I’m very happy finally that I found one who understands me and what my body/brain/mental health needs. I don’t have anyone in my life to recommend her to, but I would definitely urge others who are in similar situations as me to book an appointment with her and give things a try. She has also helped me to become patient with my mental health’s progress as I used to be very impatient and frustrated.

The health care providers that I have established a healthy, professional relationship with are fantastic. Maybe instead of running surveys on the health care providers, Grow Therapy sends surveys to patients and providers about the Grow Therapy website, which sucks BTW.
