Hi there! My name is Jessica, and I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I began my nursing career in 2011 and have since developed a deep commitment to helping individuals improve their mental well-being. I specialize in treating depression, generalized anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, postpartum depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, insomnia, and OCD. I provide care for adults and geriatric populations, focusing on compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized treatment. As the owner of MMJ Mindful Wellness LLC, I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment where clients feel empowered on their path to healing.
Mental health is apart of us all! Jessica Herron is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. She started her career as a registered nurse on a progressive coronary unit at age of 21, where she learned mental health is at the core of healing. She obtained her masters degree in 2010, specializing in psychiatric care. She has worked many diverse areas: community, inpatient, crisis, dual diagnosis, detox, emergency room; from children to geriatic and dementia related behaviors. Her passion is to lesson the stigma associated with mental health across the lifespan and normalize a bad day. When she is not serving her community, she enjoys time with her husband and 2 young children; the youngest a heart transplant warrior and indulging in a decadent cupcake.
I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.
My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms. Every patient receives individualized care tailored to their personal goals, medical history, and life circumstances.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering telehealth medication management for adults across Florida. New patients are typically seen within one week. My path to psychiatry began with medical school training in Cuba, followed by 8 years caring for critically ill patients at the bedside, experience that taught me how deeply mental and physical health are connected. Today I also serve as a psychiatric provider in nursing and assisted living facilities, caring for patients with complex needs. As a father of two boys, I understand how important mental balance is for a full life. I believe true healing goes beyond medication — family support, nutrition, sleep, and whole-body wellness are all part of the plan we build together. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard. I don't just treat symptoms, I treat the whole person.

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 Port Orange starts with understanding the type of care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and can be a strong fit for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, or life transitions. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare profiles, look for training, listed specialties, and experience that match the care you want.
Port Orange is a smaller market, so local psychiatry appointments may vary by office location, schedule, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you meet with a licensed psychiatrist or psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner from home. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, review each profile for appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how the psychiatrist describes their approach to care.
Psychiatric care in Port Orange can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your session costs and understand what you may pay before an appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients and match your insurance details. You can compare bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose an in-person or virtual appointment 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.
