Greetings! I'm Dr. Joshua Werblin, a dedicated psychiatrist with a compassionate approach to care. My practice is a sanctuary for individuals of all ages seeking mental wellness. My journey began at The University of Chicago, where I delved into the fundamentals of society and its utopian ideals. I took a somewhat circuitous path from there, working in different fields for nearly a decade before starting to study for my medical degree (M.D.) at Tulane University School of Medicine. During those ten years, I worked variously as a biophysicist, wooden boatbuilder, IT support, astrophysics technical work, and an Auxiliary NYPD officer in Harlem. I completed a Pediatrics Internship at Tulane University, followed by a narrower focus in General Psychiatry Residency training, also at Tulane. I then received subspecialty fellowship training in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Seattle Children's Hospital/University of Washington, followed by the acquisition of Addiction Psychiatry sub-specialization some years later. My career has been diverse, including roles as an Inpatient Psychiatrist, Consult-Liaison Psychiatrist, and several Outpatient Psychiatry positions in New York, Florida, and Maryland. More than half of my career has been spent serving the most underserved and marginalized populations, such as youth and women rescued from the sex trade, runaway youth, homeless families, LGBTQIA++ populations, and undocumented immigrants. Since 2019, I've been proudly serving as 'The Feelings Doctor' in my solo virtual practice, offering psychiatric care for children, adolescents, adults, and those facing addiction challenges. My commitment to you is simple: to provide empathetic, individualized, evidence-based care that supports your unique journey toward mental health wellness, whether or not you choose to use medications along the way. Let's work together to navigate life's challenges and embrace the path to healing and fulfillment.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! I am a compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, bringing personalized mental health care to individuals across North Carolina through JD Wellness, LLC with the convenience of telehealth. My daily commitment is to offer empathetic psychiatric evaluations, deeply understand each person's health journey, and meticulously record their progress for consistent care. I shape my professional knowledge of mental health around the belief that everyone deserves easy access to the care and support they need, when they need it. I provide telepsychiatry services for patients with ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and medication management along with various other psychiatric disorders. At JD Wellness, LLC, I have a patient-centered approach to mental health care. I believe the input from patients is crucial to designing an effective and individualized treatment plan for them. Throughout the treatment process, I will collaborate with you to establish a trusting relationship and will approach each individual situation with the utmost empathy, understanding, and compassion. I began my studies at Sampson Community College, earning an Associate Degree in Nursing before completing my Bachelor of Science in nursing at Gardner Webb University. I went on to pursue further education at the University of Phoenix, achieving a Master of Science in nursing (with a concentration in healthcare administration). After obtaining my master’s degree, I completed my Post Master’s Degree at Southern Adventist University where I graduated with honors from their Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner’s program. I am a licensed and board-certified psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and have over 20 years of psychiatric nursing experience working with a vast array of patients suffering from numerous psychiatric disorders.

I believe the therapy process is a marathon, not a sprint. Pacing and patience are key to the type of collaborative therapy I offer. In this “marathon”, I am open to discussing what tactics you want to use to create the change you want to see. As a counselor, I use myself as a vehicle for change in the therapeutic process. I bring a warm, personable, and laid-back nature to each session because I believe everyone needs a comfortable space to share their story. I push my clients in the direction of their goals, but I respect the importance of pacing and patience during the therapy “marathon”. I utilize an eclectic approach to meet you where you are. Some of these approaches include Adlerian, Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness therapies. I have experience working with student-athletes and I know how difficult it is juggling academics, work, school, sports, and a personal life. I also enjoy working on self-esteem building. I invite not only student-athletes, but any adolescents and adults who are struggling with life's pressures. If you are looking for someone who will take the role of pushing you to meet your goals while still staying in your corner cheering you on, please feel free to reach out.
