Dr. Jechell Lary-Waller

I work with adults and adolescents who are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, alcohol use concerns, stress, sleep problems, and difficulty functioning at work, school, or home. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive care through telehealth.

I’m a doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of experience in psychiatric nursing. That experience has taught me the importance of listening carefully, looking at the whole picture, and developing a treatment plan that fits the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I believe patients should understand their diagnosis, treatment options, medications, benefits, risks, and alternatives. My goal is to provide practical, respectful care and help you make informed decisions about your mental health.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and individualized. I want to understand not only your symptoms, but also how they are affecting your relationships, work, school, sleep, daily responsibilities, and overall quality of life.

Treatment may include medication management, supportive therapy, problem-solving strategies, coping skills, behavioral changes, and lifestyle recommendations when appropriate. I work with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, alcohol use concerns, and other mental health conditions.

I value open communication and want patients to feel comfortable asking questions or discussing concerns about medication. Treatment decisions are made together, with attention to what is clinically appropriate and what fits your individual needs.

Your first appointment is an opportunity for me to understand what has been happening, what brought you to treatment now, and what you would like to improve. We will review your current symptoms, mental health history, medications, medical history, sleep, stressors, daily functioning, and previous treatment.

We will also discuss possible diagnoses and treatment options, including medication when appropriate. I will explain the reasoning behind recommendations and give you an opportunity to ask questions before we decide on a plan together.

My goal is for you to leave the first appointment with a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms and a practical plan for what comes next.
