Jessica Johnson

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Pacific Lutheran University in 2011, and later obtained my Master's of Nursing from Gonzaga University, and I am certified in Psychiatric-Mental Health nursing. My nursing experience revealed a significant gap in mental health resources for my patients and the community, prompting me to transition into a role that would enable more meaningful support. Some of the mental health issues that I treat include: Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, PMDD, and Bipolar Disorder.

I advocate for a patient-centered, holistic approach to mental health and overall healthcare, focusing on individual complexities rather than just symptoms. This perspective recognizes each person's unique expertise in their own well-being and physical needs. I believe that health encompasses the body, mind, and spiritual aspects of each individual, and I would love the opportunity to partner with you wherever you may be on your journey towards a healthier, more fulfilled life.

During our first visit my goals are to hear from you about your biggest concerns, learn about your unique symptoms, background, and life circumstances, and then formulate a plan with you to help you feel better. Treatment goals can be different for everyone, depending on what they are looking for. Because I prefer a more holistic approach, treatment plans will typically include medication management, brief psychotherapy when appropriate, lifestyle and behavioral modifications, and I try to provide my patients with resources and recommendations to take outside of the visit.
