Thanks for reading this. I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who
works with clients ages 6 to 86 struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, substance abuse and other issues. For some clients, I provide both therapy and medication management; for other clients, I work closely with their therapists to optimize their medication experience. I help clients to find stability and reduce suffering. LGBTQ-allied, BDSM- and polyamory-informed. All lifestyles welcome. I do therapy as well as medication management, but I am currently only accepting new clients for medication management. If you are looking for therapy, I am happy to refer you to skilled therapists I know who are accepting new clients.
I'm Candice Jeffers, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with an unusual background—I spent nearly a decade in cardiovascular critical care before dedicating myself to mental health. That ICU experience taught me something crucial: psychiatric crises deserve the same urgency, expertise, and unwavering support as any cardiac emergency.
For nine years at Ascension Seton Medical Center's Cardiovascular ICU, I supervised teams through impossible situations. I learned to stay steady when everything felt uncertain, to read the subtle signs others might miss, and to offer hope when families needed it most. Those years shaped how I practice psychiatry today—with precision, presence, and profound respect for what you're facing.
I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at University of South Alabama in 2024, immersing myself in over 600 clinical hours spanning outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatry, and crisis intervention. My pediatric nursing background adds another layer—I understand how early experiences shape us and how differently mental health shows up across ages.
My practice centers on thorough psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and crisis intervention for all ages. I specialize in suicide risk assessment, trauma-informed approaches, and evidence-based treatments that actually fit into real lives. I'm MOUD-trained and licensed for telehealth in Texas, California, Arizona, and Florida.
Here's what matters most: I approach mental health as someone who's held space for both miracles and heartbreak. I know seeking help requires tremendous courage. I know healing rarely follows a straight line. And I know you need a provider who won't flinch, no matter what you share. My work blends critical care decisiveness with deep compassion—because you deserve both.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience delivering mental health care across various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and crisis services. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and have specialized training in psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and crisis intervention. My background includes leadership roles such as Director of Nursing and experience as an expert witness in medical legal cases. I provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each patient's unique needs, with a focus on mental health evaluation, medication management, and support for individuals dealing with psychiatric conditions, including geriatric and substance use populations.
Hello,

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding psychiatrists in Valencia starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy and other forms of support. Medication management may be used for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and OCD. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both.
Valencia is part of the Santa Clarita area, where local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger parts of Los Angeles County. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still keeping care connected to your schedule. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s focus, communication style, and whether they also offer therapy.
Psychiatric care in Valencia can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and take your plan, so you can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
