Jaqualyn Iardella

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in mental health care, beginning my career as a social worker before advancing my clinical training in nursing and psychiatry. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adolescents and adults ages 13 and older, with a collaborative, patient-centered approach that integrates evidence-based treatment and supportive psychotherapy. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma-related disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders and mood disorders, with an emphasis on creating individualized treatment plans that support long-term emotional wellness.

My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and individualized, with a strong emphasis on creating a supportive therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard and understood. I believe mental health treatment is most effective when it considers the whole person, including emotional, physical, social, and lifestyle factors that may impact overall well-being. I provide evidence-based psychiatric evaluation and medication management while also incorporating supportive psychotherapy and education into sessions to help clients develop insight, coping skills, and lasting strategies for wellness.

Clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free environment where they feel comfortable openly discussing their concerns, experiences, and goals. During the first session, I conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to gain a thorough understanding of emotional, medical, social, and lifestyle factors that may be impacting mental health. Together, we will discuss symptoms, treatment history, and personal goals in order to develop an individualized treatment plan that may include medication management, therapeutic support, and evidence-based recommendations. My goal is for clients to leave the session feeling heard, understood, and empowered with a clearer path forward.
