Ariel Jakes

Hello! I’m Ariel Jakes, a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Orlando, Florida. My dual background in primary family care and mental health allows me to treat the whole person, recognizing that physical health and emotional well-being are deeply interconnected. Whether you are navigating daily life stressors, managing mood or anxiety symptoms, or seeking comprehensive healthcare guidance, I am dedicated to offering compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your unique journey.

I believe in a collaborative, patient-centered approach where your voice and goals lead the way. Healthcare is not one-size-fits-all; my style is warm, empathetic, and grounded in active listening. By integrating medical understanding with psychiatric support, I focus on identifying underlying factors—lifestyle, physical health, biological factors, and stress—to build a balanced treatment plan that empowers you to feel your best long-term.

In our initial session, you can expect a welcoming, judgment-free space to share your story, history, and current challenges. We will conduct a thorough assessment covering your overall health, mental well-being, and personal goals. By the end of our first meeting, we will collaborate on a clear, step-by-step path forward so you leave feeling heard, supported, and confident in your next steps.
