Mental health is apart of us all! Jessica Herron is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. She started her career as a registered nurse on a progressive coronary unit at age of 21, where she learned mental health is at the core of healing. She obtained her masters degree in 2010, specializing in psychiatric care. She has worked many diverse areas: community, inpatient, crisis, dual diagnosis, detox, emergency room; from children to geriatic and dementia related behaviors. Her passion is to lesson the stigma associated with mental health across the lifespan and normalize a bad day. When she is not serving her community, she enjoys time with her husband and 2 young children; the youngest a heart transplant warrior and indulging in a decadent cupcake.
Hi! Thanks so much for visiting. I am a board-certified psychiatrist who has been in practice since 2012, and before that I practiced internal medicine. I treat individuals age 10 and up in an adult setting. I went to Duke University for pre-med (BS psychology) and then Emory University School of Medicine. I did my internal medicine residency at Emory also, was on staff at Emory, and was also in private practice before I went back to my psychiatry residency (State University at Stony Brook, Chief Resident, 2012).
I bring the dual training and years of experience treating the breadth and depth of psychiatry. I enjoy helping those who have had treatment-resistant conditions, and have a friendly, kind, and collaborative approach.
I treat anyone who is motivated to get better. I manage the entire spectrum of conditions, and manage tough-to-fix things like OCD and bipolar depression. Because of my personal background, I really get the gender-divergent and neuro-divergent folks, and folks with anxiety. :).
Please note:
-Self-pay rates are $500 for intakes and $250 for follow up appointments.
-Starting 7/29/26, I am based primarily in the SF Bay area, and so appointments might seem at odd hours for those on the east coast. If the times don't align with your needs, make the first appointment and we will make follow-ups together that fits for both of us.
-Given I am primarily providing care for those in a wonderful community center in San Jose, CA, (Camara), I will see folks in this practice part-time.
-I will be in Atlanta to see patients live if needed but know it may not be more than once every 6-8 weeks. On-line is primary.
I have two locations in the Bay Area for live visits. If an in-person session is needed, we will book that after the first on-line appointment.
-If a Florida client needs a controlled substance, one visit to the Atlanta or SF office will be necessary.

Hello, and welcome. I'm Khandice Popley, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than seven years of nursing experience in medical-surgical and psychiatric care.
I believe every person deserves compassionate, respectful, and evidence-based mental health care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns and confident that you're being heard.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, stress, grief, life transitions, sleep difficulties, and other mental health challenges. Whether you're seeking care for the first time or returning to treatment, I will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.

I'm a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) offering compassionate, evidence-based care for adolescents, adults, and older adults. If you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or trauma-related concerns — or simply feeling unlike yourself — you'll be met with compassion, never judgment.
With more than 16 years of clinical experience (7 of them in psychiatry), I specialize in comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, accurate diagnosis, medication management, and individualized treatment plans built around your unique needs and goals. My background spans outpatient private practice, telepsychiatry, and inpatient geriatric behavioral health, so I'm able to support people across a wide range of life stages and concerns.
At Nurelevate, I believe mental wellness is about more than managing symptoms — it's about helping you rediscover balance, build resilience, and thrive with confidence. I'm honored to walk alongside you on that journey.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, patient-centered care to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and complex mental health needs.
I have experience working across high-acuity hospital settings, partial hospitalization programs, and community-based care, which allows me to support individuals through both everyday challenges and more complex clinical situations. My goal is to create a calm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and respected.
I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, trauma-related disorders, insomnia, and substance use disorders.

Whether you're seeking care for the first time or looking for a fresh approach after previous treatments haven't provided the results you hoped for, I'm here to help.
My approach begins with listening. I take time to understand your story, your goals, and the factors that contribute to your mental health. Together, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, psychoeducation, lifestyle strategies, and brief therapeutic interventions. I believe in shared decision-making, ensuring you understand your options and feel confident in every step of your care.
