Dr. Jackie Smith

Life can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help is often the hardest step. I'm Jackie, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 40 years of nursing experience. Throughout my career, I've cared for individuals and families in a variety of healthcare settings, gaining a deep appreciation for the connection between physical and emotional health. That experience shaped my approach to psychiatric care and continues to guide the way I support each person. You'll find a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. Virtual appointments are available for individuals throughout Pennsylvania.

No two people experience life's challenges in the same way, so treatment should never be one-size-fits-all. Together, we'll take time to understand your concerns, identify your goals, and develop a treatment plan that fits your needs. I work with teens, adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. When appropriate, medication is thoughtfully integrated with supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies to provide well-rounded, personalized care.

Your first visit is an opportunity to tell your story in a comfortable, supportive environment where you'll never feel rushed or judged. We'll talk about what has brought you to treatment, discuss your concerns and goals, and explore options together so you can feel confident in your care. Whether you're carrying grief, guilt, sadness, anxiety, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don't have to face it alone. My hope is that you'll leave your first appointment feeling heard and understood, with a clear plan for moving forward.
