Shawn Kernz, APRN, RN, NP

Shawn Kernz, APRN, RN, NP

Adult Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
FL
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I specialize in medication management while taking a holistic approach to care, integrating therapeutic techniques and lifestyle changes to support long-term wellness. My focus is on creating a collaborative, personalized treatment plan that addresses the whole person, not just the symptoms. I approach mental healthcare with a compassionate, patient-centered philosophy. While my expertise is in evidence-based medication management, I believe true recovery involves more than just prescriptions. I integrate therapeutic strategies, encourage meaningful lifestyle adjustments, and utilize frameworks like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles to address the root of mental health challenges and promote holistic well-being. I work with individuals aged 6 and older who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other mood or thought disorders. I also provide support for individuals managing addictions or substance use concerns, integrating compassionate care and, when appropriate, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) as part of a broader recovery plan. My goal is to help clients build resilience, achieve balance, and enhance their overall quality of life through personalized, holistic care. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment where patients feel safe and heard. My tone is empathetic and supportive, encouraging open dialogue while fostering trust and mutual respect. Working with me feels like having a partner in your mental health journey focused on empowering you every step of the way.
