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.

My name is Chantal Baptiste, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C.

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.

Welcome! Great to meet you. I’m Maria Bennett, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).

I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for individuals across the lifespan. My approach to treatment is collaborative and tailored to each person’s unique needs, values, and goals. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or mood disorders, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a specialization in psychiatric mental health from Herzing University, and I’m certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). My clinical background includes experience in outpatient psychiatry, community mental health, crisis stabilization, and integrated care settings.

I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, trauma-related disorders, insomnia, and substance use disorders. Many of my patients come to treatment feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or discouraged after struggling with symptoms that interfere with their relationships, work, school, or daily life. 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.

I primarily treat patients experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as conditions such as OCD, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is holistic, addressing the physiological, cognitive, and emotional aspects of mental health to support overall well-being.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Central Florida, I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and soul—and meeting each individual where they are in their journey.
