Jared Stephen

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of healthcare experience as an Army medic, nurse, and psychiatric provider. My background includes inpatient and outpatient psychiatry, emergency care, forensic psychiatry, and working with adolescents and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, sleep concerns, and medication management. I have a special interest in supporting veterans and individuals who may feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start.

My approach is collaborative, individualized, and evidence-based. I take time to understand your symptoms, life circumstances, prior treatment experiences, and personal goals before making recommendations. Medication may be part of treatment, but I also consider therapy, lifestyle habits, coping skills, and coordination with other providers when appropriate. I strive to create a nonjudgmental space where decisions are made together and you understand your options.

The first session is an opportunity to discuss what brings you in, your mental health and medical history, past treatments, medications, stressors, and goals. You can expect a respectful, supportive environment where you can ask questions and share at a comfortable pace. Together, we will begin identifying treatment goals and discuss appropriate next steps, such as medication options, therapy recommendations, further assessment, or follow-up care. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, informed, and more confident about your path forward.
