Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Dr. Lanaya Jones, and I am dually certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adolescents and adults across Maryland through telehealth services. I believe mental health care should honor the whole person. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized, combining medication management (when appropriate) with supportive therapy to help patients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their healing journey.

I commonly work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, stress, and life transitions. Together, we focus on developing realistic treatment goals, improving emotional wellness, and restoring hope. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where patients can openly discuss their concerns without judgment while receiving high-quality, personalized care.

My approach to therapy

My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and patient-centered. I strive to create a safe space where patients feel heard and supported while developing individualized treatment plans tailored to their unique needs. I believe in a thoughtful, whole-person approach to mental health care that may include supportive therapy, lifestyle interventions, coping strategies, and medication when clinically appropriate. My goal is to help patients improve emotional wellness, build resilience, and feel empowered throughout their healing journey.

What you can expect from me

During the first visit, clients can expect a supportive and judgment-free conversation focused on understanding their concerns, symptoms, history, and goals for treatment. We will discuss emotional, mental, and overall wellness to develop a personalized care plan tailored to their unique needs. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and actively participate in the process so they feel informed, comfortable, and supported from the beginning.
