Jonas Linebaugh

I'm Jonas Linebaugh, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, veteran, proud father of two, and former emergency nurse. I focus on postpartum mothers working through anxiety, depression, and mood changes; veterans and first responders adjusting to civilian life; and adults managing ADHD, PTSD, or substance use. I want the full picture of your life, not just a diagnosis, so we can find every source of what you're carrying. If that sounds like what you need, I'd love to talk with you.

I take an integrative approach, looking at the lifestyle factors that shape mental health: diet, movement, sleep, caffeine, and any medical conditions layered underneath your symptoms. Combined with medication management when it helps, I use a solution-focused, strength-based approach. We're all capable of remarkable things, so instead of only unpacking what's wrong, we build toward where you want to end up.

For the initial intake evaluation, we spend more time together so I can go through a standardized question form that helps establish a baseline of who you are, what your needs may be, and what symptoms you’re experiencing. After that, I invite my clients to tell me—in their own words—what brought them in. This gives space for you to open up and describe what you’re feeling and going through, rather than being limited to yes/no questions or the structure of the form. During the intake, we’ll also establish baseline scores on screening tools such as the PHQ‐9, MDQ, and GAD‐7 which are meant to measure progress over time, not to determine a diagnosis.
