Find a psychiatrist in Jacksonville, FL — covered by insurance

I’m a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have a passion for assisting individuals, couples, and families navigate the challenges of life.

I have over 5 years of experience working in settings such as private practice, community mental health, hospitals, and mobile crisis response teams as a social worker, mental health advocate, and registered nurse. I have experience working in the emergency room of a level 1 trauma center, with children and families involved in the dependency system, and victims of crimes. One key area of focus for me is supporting individuals facing concerns ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma recovery.

I have earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State University, with a focus on child and family development. I also received a Master’s in Nursing Degree from Chamberlain University, where I received extensive training in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. I continue to stay open-minded and take any education opportunities to stay current with best practices and emerging research in mental health care.

I’m a psychiatrist who specializes in providing integrative care to foster inner discovery and facilitate tangible change for all of my patients. To me, this means utilizing evidence-based psychotherapeutic methods with medication management as appropriate for achieving personal goals and inner wellness.

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.

My approach combines medication management, education, and supportive therapy to help improve symptoms while promoting long-term emotional wellness and resilience.

I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.

I’m a caring and compassionate psychiatrist who believes in honoring the uniqueness of each person’s journey. My approach is holistic—addressing the whole individual, not just symptoms—with a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. I incorporate supportive therapy, genetic testing when indicated, as well as lab work to check for underlying health factors and encourage lifestyle changes like regular exercise, nourishing food, and vitamin supplements. Other core pillars include honoring your authentic self and becoming the person you were created to be, meaningful relationships, and activities that bring joy and connection. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorder or life transitions, I’m here to walk with you on a path toward healing, freedom, and overall wellness.
