Jessica Skirlis

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and co-occurring substance use. I offer a compassionate, personalized approach that combines medication management with supportive therapy to help clients work through complex emotional challenges. My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your mental health journey. In addition to my clinical work, I also serve in a leadership role in behavioral health, supporting trauma-informed, team-based care.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based practice. I work closely with clients to understand their goals, identify barriers, and create individualized treatment plans that may include medication management and supportive therapy. I take time to explain treatment options, encourage shared decision-making, and always aim to meet clients where they are. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and co-occurring disorders, and I believe that healing happens when clients feel safe, respected, and empowered.

Clients can expect a supportive and nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, validated, and empowered. Together, we’ll work on understanding the root of your symptoms, building insight, and developing practical tools to manage challenges more effectively. My goal is to help you feel more in control of your mental health and more connected to yourself and others. Over time, many clients report increased emotional clarity, reduced distress, and a stronger sense of resilience.
