Tracie Jones

I'm Dr. Tracie Jones, a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with more than 20 years of healthcare experience and over a decade as a nurse practitioner. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and MBA in Healthcare Administration, and my career has included primary care, behavioral health, population health leadership, and caring for individuals across the lifespan.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress and burnout, mood disorders, substance use concerns, and life transitions. I understand that mental and physical health are closely connected, so I take a whole-person approach to care. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions.

My approach combines comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, thoughtful medication management, supportive therapy, and evidence-based treatment planning. I believe every person deserves individualized care rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, and I work collaboratively with each client to develop realistic strategies that improve symptoms, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.

Whether you're seeking care for the first time or looking for a provider who will truly listen, I'm committed to helping you build lasting progress and move forward with confidence.

I believe the most effective mental health care is collaborative, evidence-based, and individualized. Every person has a unique story, so I take the time to understand your experiences, strengths, and goals before developing a treatment plan. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I consider how your physical health, lifestyle, relationships, work, and life experiences influence your mental well-being.

My treatment approach combines comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, thoughtful medication management, supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies. When appropriate, I incorporate evidence-based techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to help clients build lasting skills alongside symptom improvement.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress and burnout, mood disorders, substance use concerns, and life transitions. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis or managing a long-term condition, my goal is to help you gain insight, improve daily functioning, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

Above all, I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental partnership where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in your mental health journey.

Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and develop a clear understanding of what brings you to treatment. I'll ask about your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, lifestyle, relationships, and the goals you hope to achieve. This comprehensive evaluation helps ensure we create a treatment plan that is both personalized and evidence-based.

If medication is appropriate, we'll discuss the potential benefits, risks, side effects, and available options so you can make informed decisions about your care. I also incorporate supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies during visits because I believe meaningful progress comes from addressing the whole person--not just symptoms.

My goal is to provide a welcoming, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing openly, and participating in decisions about your care. By the end of your first session, you'll leave with a clear understanding of your treatment plan, next steps, and a collaborative path toward improving your mental health and overall well-being.
