Dr. Bennett is the chief psychologist of First Coast Psychology. She earned a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Counseling Psychology from The University of Georgia. She has a Bachelor of Psychology degree from Florida State University and a Master of Counseling degree from Arizona State University.
During her tenure as a federal psychologist she actively contributed to mental health initiatives by the United States Department of Defense, Department of Veteran Affairs and the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Dr. Bennett has received unrivaled training in the delivery of best evidence-based therapies to address trauima, (PTSD), anxiety disorders (performance anxiety, social phobia, panic attacks), sleep disorders, occupational stress, bereavement, life transitions, relationship concerns, and more. Her diverse career has spanned across working in higher education, hospitals, state and federal government agencies, law enforcement, courts, community mental health programs, private practice, and global corporate tech healthcare.
As the daughter of a combat veteran, she has a dedicated space within the practice to honor and serve our nation’s heroes—including firefighters, law enforcement officers, and members of all branches of the military, both active duty and retired.
Drawing on her experience as a former tech healthcare executive turned entrepreneur, she is dedicated to providing first-class, concierge-level services with an unwavering commitment to client privacy. In today’s increasingly invasive digital age, your trust and confidentiality are our highest priorities—especially when personal information is so often at risk within large-scale healthcare systems. As a valued client, you will have direct access to your provider and receive personalized, HIPAA-compliant care tailored to your needs.
“I have a natural, intuitive ability to connect with clients from all walks of life, creating a safe, non-judgmental space that fosters healing, growth, and transformation.”
Hello!

Clients include students, physicians, healthcare executives, veterinarians, attorneys, finance and tech professionals, engineers, entrepreneurs, public figures, professional athletes, creatives, educators, and our nation’s heroes.
