Hi, I’m Jennifer Kottler, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I’m passionate about supporting individuals facing challenges such as addiction (including Medication-Assisted Treatment), substance use disorders, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, and psychosis. My approach is collaborative—we’ll work together to create a care plan that truly fits your needs and goals.
I believe that everyone deserves a safe, judgment-free space to talk about their mental health. My practice is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based care. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your concerns, knowing that your voice is heard and respected. Treatment decisions are always made as a team, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
A bit about my background: I’m a graduate of Wilkes University, and most of my nursing career has been dedicated to addiction and mental health. I decided to become a PMHNP because I wanted to make a bigger impact for my patients. In my first year as a PMHNP, I helped launch an MAT program and served as the main provider. Today, my practice focuses on mental health, and I plan to expand addiction services in the future.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and licensed Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP).

You should know that I truly see you — not just your symptoms or diagnosis.

My goal is to understand the full picture — your goals, challenges, and values — and create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your care. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other psychiatric concerns.
I combine evidence-based psychiatry with a holistic, personal touch. Care with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and never rushed. I don’t push medications or rely on quick fixes — I work with you to find clarity, balance, and lasting relief through treatment that fits your life.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, and registered pharmacist with more than 20 years of experience in medication management and over 6 years of experience treating and managing patients’ mental health needs. I work with children, adolescents, and adults and have experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions.
I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner who provides medication management for adults. I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and more. I try to keep things real, supportive, and easy to talk through. My goal is to help you feel better in a way that actually fits your life.
I believe that each person brings a unique story shaped by their life experiences, values, and cultural background. My clinical work has taken place across a variety of settings—including academic institutions, state hospitals, and community mental health clinics—which has helped me develop a flexible, respectful, and collaborative approach to care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Reading
Finding psychiatrists in Reading starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication plans. Therapists focus on talk therapy and behavioral support. Both can be helpful entry points, depending on your needs. If you are seeking care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and experience match what you want support with.
Reading is a smaller market, so local psychiatry availability may be more limited than in larger Pennsylvania cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people also work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, check appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can also show how each psychiatrist communicates, what they focus on, and what to expect in a first visit.
Psychiatric care in Reading 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 booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept your plan, verifies that listed psychiatrists are accepting new patients, and shows estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. You can browse psychiatrists in Reading, review bios, 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.
