Jessica Purcell

Hi, I'm Jessica! I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I wanted to help people grow and be their true authentic selves. I work with adults and children managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, sleep difficulties and PTSD. I care most about really listening before jumping to a plan. I take time to understand what someone actually needs before recommending medication or next steps. My schedule is opening up right now, which means I have real flexibility for new clients. I want every person I work with to feel comfortable asking questions and to feel like they have a genuine partner in their care. I am passionate about treating children and women as I feel that these populations are underrepresented and under treated in healthcare. I am dual certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner with 8 years experience and recently certified as Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I decided to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner after my son was diagnosed with autism, speech and cognitive delay.

My approach is holistic, empowering and collaborative. I want my clients to be true partners in their own care, not just people receiving instructions. I take time to understand what my clients are dealing with during the day to day before recommending any changes, and I check in regularly to make sure our plan is actually working for them and their life.

Your first session is a conversation, not an interrogation. I will ask about your history, your goals, your concerns and what has and has not worked before. We will build a plan together, and you will leave with a clear next step and a sense that someone is genuinely paying attention to how you are doing. I also like to complete labs on most of my patients to determine that there isn't an underlying medical issue that could be contributing to their symptoms.
