Telepsychiatry for Fort Lauderdale, FL

My ideal client is someone who is motivated, open-minded, and seeking guidance to overcome challenges in their personal or professional life. They want clarity, direction, and practical strategies to achieve their goals and improve their circumstances. They value personal growth, seek fulfillment, and aspire to live a purposeful and satisfying life. They appreciate a friendly and supportive partnership to help them navigate obstacles and accelerate their progress towards a more fulfilling future.

Do you often feel judged, that no one cares or understands what you are going through? My goal for every encounter is that you leave feeling someone truly cares and understands. Let's face it, talking about our emotional or mental state of mind is never one of the easiest topics to discuss, especially when there is associated trauma, hurt, pain, or negative stigma. Whatever it is, you will have a safe place free of criticism or shame, but full of compassion, and understanding for the single purpose of healing, positive progress toward regaining self-sufficiency, and a sense of normalcy in your life once again.

Jermilla Augustin is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a strong desire to help people and improve their daily lives. She specializes in helping individuals with anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, she worked as a mental health nurse for over 10 years in various acute settings treating anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and personality disorders.

My interest in medicine can be traced back to my early childhood. I come from a family with several generations of physicians. My father, a pediatrician, had the greatest influence on me. What amazed me the most about him was the amount of care and genuine concern that he demonstrated for his patients, which in my mind are essential for an ideal physician. I received my bachelors degree from Columbia University, majoring in psychology. Vincent Van Gogh once said: "After all there is nothing in the world as interesting as people, and one can never study them enough."

As a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my priority is patient safety and to restore a sense of functionality back into the lives of my patients.

Together we will devise a treatment plan based on your individual needs that will restore you back to good mental health.

My ideal client grapples with anxiety, depression, and ADHD, often relying on medication for stability. They seek a holistic approach that combines medication management with specialized ADHD therapy, like CBT. A supportive online community is vital for them to share experiences and learn coping strategies. Cost and convenience matter, as they balance healthcare expenses and life commitments. Telehealth options and flexible pricing are a plus. Their ultimate goal is societal functionality, aiming for long-term strategies to manage stress, improve social skills, and unlock new life opportunities.

I help patients verbalize their feelings and why they feel that way. I help patients process their thoughts individually to see the reasons and justifications for their thoughts and associated beliefs. It is that belief that arose from their experiences in the past, creating their behavior in that time. If everyone realizes that their experiences have no relation to the truth of an event and that they do not have to think similarly, they can change their thinking process every time. This can alter destructive thought and behavior patterns into a more helpful, healthy mindset.

As a psychiatric provider, I focus largely on psychiatric evaluations and medication management. I recognize that each person comes to me with unique lived experience and I use this knowledge to personalize my treatment to their individual needs. I educate my clients to empower them to be able to collaboratively work together with our team to optimize your health. I take a holistic approach to cultivate the best outcomes for you as a patient in a non-judgmental environment.
