Great to meet you!

I’m Stephanie Jairam, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner. I help adults and adolescents navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, sleep difficulties, and other mood-related concerns. I also work with individuals experiencing PTSD, OCD, PMDD, and mood-related challenges. who are seeking supportive, effective treatment.


I offer thoughtful medication management alongside CBT-informed and supportive therapy strategies. Whether you’re seeking care for the first time or exploring a different approach, I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing concerns, and being yourself.

My approach to therapy

My approach is individualized and evidence-based. I believe treatment should fit your life, goals, and comfort level. We’ll work together to identify what you’d like to change and create a realistic treatment plan.


My background in psychiatric and family care helps me consider the connection between your mental and physical health, including sleep, stress, lifestyle, and medical concerns. When considering medication, we’ll discuss potential benefits, side effects, and your preferences so you can make an informed decision.


I also incorporate CBT-informed and supportive therapy techniques to help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns, develop coping skills, and respond differently to everyday challenges. Our work may focus on improving concentration, setting boundaries, managing anxiety, or feeling more present in your relationships.


You can expect a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental approach, with space to discuss what’s working and adjust what isn’t.

What you can expect from me

Your first appointment is a chance for us to get to know each other and understand what brings you to care. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need.


We’ll talk about your symptoms, daily life, medical and mental health history, and any past treatment experiences. I’ll also want to understand your priorities: What feels hardest right now, and what would feeling better look like for you?


We’ll discuss my initial impressions, any questions that need further evaluation, and recommended next steps. Your personalized plan may include medication, therapy strategies, lifestyle changes, or additional resources to support you. There will be time for your questions and concerns.


My goal is for you to leave with a clearer understanding of your treatment options and a plan we’ve developed together. If this sounds like the support you’re looking for, I’d welcome the opportunity to work with you.
