About My Journey Compass Health
Licensed in Florida and Arizona|Telehealth available Statewide ages 6+.
A Safe Place to Begin Again
I founded My Journey Compass Health to be more than an online-based practice. It’s a space where healing can unfold gently, in your own time, with a provider who truly listens. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) nurse practitioner with roots in both family medicine and mental health, I’ve worked with people from all walks of life—survivors of trauma, caregivers on the edge of burnout, workplace-related trauma, children carrying invisible burdens, and elders navigating grief.
At every stage, I’ve seen how deeply people long to feel understood, not just treated. My role is to meet you in that space—with compassion, skill, and time that honors your pace.
Who I Am
My name is Leonarda Gaige, and I’m a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC), licensed in both Florida and Arizona. I’ve spent over a decade serving individuals and families in community clinics, correctional settings, hospice, and trauma recovery environments. I’m also a mother, a daughter, and a woman of faith—roles that shape how I show up for my clients every day.
I believe in weaving together clinical expertise, cultural humility, and human kindness.
What I Bring to the Table
- Holistic, integrated psychiatric care for children (6+), teens, adults, and elders
- Trauma-informed support for anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and generational wounds
- Medication management that is collaborative and transparent
- Bilingual care that honors both English and Spanish-speaking communities
- Virtual visits through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms
What You Won’t Find Here
This isn’t a high-volume, diagnosis-driven practice. I don’t believe in rushing you toward healing or relying solely on medication. I also do not prescribe controlled substances, participate in custody disputes, or complete disability paperwork—but I will help you explore meaningful, personalized pathways forward.
Our Mission
To provide trauma-informed, bilingual evidence-based care that support healing of the mind, body, and spirit. We focus not only on symptom relief, but on helping you reclaim your voice and your story, restore purpose, and reconnect with yourself.

If You’re Still Reading…
You’re probably looking for something deeper than a 15-minute check-in or a quick fix. You may be feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or just unsure of where to start. That’s okay. You don’t have to figure it all out at once.
I’d be honored to meet you where you are.
