How do you work with clients with trauma and PTSD?

I’m Jessie Jenkins, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), and I’m passionate about helping people improve their mental health and overall well-being. With experience in a variety of healthcare settings, including outpatient clinics, group homes, and hospitals, I specialize in managing medication and conducting thorough evaluations for individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. My treatment philosophy is rooted in the belief that every person is unique, and so are their mental health needs. My goal is to empower you by providing the tools and knowledge necessary to take control of your mental health journey. I prioritize open communication, ensuring that you fully understand your treatment options and feel confident in making decisions that are right for you. I believe in building a trusting relationship where you feel safe to express your concerns and work together with me to create a personalized treatment plan. I take a holistic approach, combining both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to provide comprehensive care. I specialize in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, eating disorders, mood disorders, panic attacks, and OCD. Using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Motivational Interviewing, I’ll help you find the strategies that work best for your individual needs. I accept insurance plans such as Aetna, Cigna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and I provide care for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I look forward to helping you on your journey toward better mental health.

I help hurting, struggling, and disconnected couples heal and find each other again. Couples that want to work with me include those stuck in patterns of destructive reactivity, couples in crisis hoping to save their relationship, disconnected couples lacking intimacy, couples struggling with past betrayals and violations, and couples struggling to align on core relationship expectations. As a long-time, partnered parent who has experienced the challenges of raising little ones and launching college-bound teens, I also offer support to parents and children struggling to connect. My individual clients want to address family of origin grief and attachment injuries, anxiety, perfectionism, identity exploration, abuse recovery, and post-divorce transitions. I understand and see all client distress through an attachment lens; there are deep, underlying attachment longings and fears driving painful and destructive patterns of behavior. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy as a framework, along with somatic interventions and IFS-informed parts work to organize complex, layered emotions, I help foster corrective experiences for my clients to create secure attachment and heal how they relate to themselves and to those they love. If my focus and approach resonate with you, please reach out.

I approach mental health with an open-mind and offer education and help seeking alternative treatment modalities such as Ketamine therapy and Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). I approach medication management as a tool in achieving stabilization of symptoms to be utilized in conjunction with therapy and a positive mindset. I always encourage open communication with my patients. I prefer my patients reach out to me with any concerns or questions in relation to their treatment plan and overall care. I am always available to answer by email or phone. My philosophy is simple: provide safe, effective, and compassionate care that makes a real difference in the lives of those I serve. If you're seeking mental health support that's grounded in trust and tailored to your individual journey, let's connect and take the first step towards your wellness together.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life. As a Caribbean American, I help men and women heal from trauma and toxic relationships by providing a safe, judgment free zone where you can learn new coping strategies to live your best life. I utilize cognitive-behavioral interventions and a psychodynamic and systems-based perspective that focuses on providing you with the tools to do the work to heal yourself. Are you ready to do the work? I am currently accepting new clients for 2024. Let us collaborate to improve your emotional intelligence, build your confidence, and maintain healthy relationships with others so you can experience as much joy and peace as possible.

I've worked in various roles throughout my life. I started as a performing artist. I grew and learned a lot from that experience -- as I have from all of my roles -- but wanted to explore other interests. That included corporate management and leadership roles for 18+ years and going to graduate school. Ultimately I've landed on my feet in a field that truly fits my skills, my passion and what feels like a calling. I believe my varied background gives me an edge in understanding a lot of different life paths. I offer that to my patients.

I'm a mix of all sorts of cultural influences - hence my fascination with languages and helping my clients adapt to change. My mother tongue is English, but I also grew up speaking Spanish, with my years in Buenos Aires leaving me with an unmistakably Argentinian accent (which other Spanish- speakers tend to sometimes 'lovingly mock'). My European side is thanks to over 30 years spent living and working in France, where I picked up not only an incurable love for lavender crème brûlée and other deliciously fattening foods, but the ability to provide therapy in fluent French. All in all, this means that immigrants, foreigners, expats; you're my people!

I am a Clinical Psychologist, who specializes in assessing and treating ADHD and other disorders through an integrated approach that blends psychotherapy, Neurofeedback and nutraceuticals to maximize treatment effectiveness.
