Rebekah Hellier, DNP, PMHNP-BC, MSN, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of City Psychiatry Inc. She has been in nursing for 24 years, including 20 years at Tampa General Hospital, where she served in a variety of clinical roles and also precepted and mentored numerous nurses. She currently practices as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with OPA Behavioral Health in addition to leading her private practice, where she is dedicated to delivering accessible, comprehensive, and compassionate mental health care.

Her journey into healthcare began with an early interest in physical therapy. She attended Tampa Bay Tech High School and worked as a physical therapy technician at Brandon Hospital immediately after graduation. It was there that physical therapists encouraged her to pursue nursing, a path that ultimately shaped her career. She earned her Associate’s degree from Hillsborough Community College in 2003, her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Grand Canyon University, and later advanced her education with a Master of Science in Nursing specializing in Psychiatric Mental Health from the University of Alabama in 2022, followed by a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) in May 2024 from the same institution.

Through City Psychiatry Inc., Rebekah integrates her extensive clinical background with a holistic and collaborative approach to mental health care. She recognized a gap in the traditional separation between psychotherapy and psychiatric medication management and built her practice to bridge that divide. She provides both supportive talk therapy and medication management, emphasizing behavioral strategies and lifestyle modifications to promote long-term wellness. She works with patients ages 6 and older, with a clinical focus on anxiety, depression, and ADHD, striving to ensure each patient receives coordinated, individualized, and continuity-driven care.
