My name is Dr. Terrance Jackson, and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am so glad you're considering working with me to explore your mental health and well-being
I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, CBT therapy, and trauma-informed care. I’m committed to creating a non-judgmental, supportive, and safe space to work together to help you overcome challenges and achieve your personal goals.
I have found my own personal healing to be intimately connected to nature, and it is here that I believe that we can all begin to rediscover our intrinsic humanity and let go of those things that distract us from our higher selves. In my spare time, I work as an outdoor educator and manage my own private practice and guide Outdoor Retreats
I believe it is helpful and important to translate what is discussed in session and in telehealth meetings into lived experience and real change.
If you’re the one everyone depends on but you feel anxious, burned out, or emotionally drained, you don’t have to keep pushing through alone. I work with adults who are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside, especially women, professionals, parents, caregivers, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and over 20 years of experience across diverse healthcare settings. As a veteran, I bring personal understanding of military culture and chronic stress. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and judgment-free, blending evidence-based medication management with supportive, real-world conversation.
If you’re looking for care that feels thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to your life, not rushed or one-size-fits-all, invite you to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward feeling more grounded and supported.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gilbert
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming provider in Gilbert starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. For some, identity exploration, coming out, or navigating family and cultural expectations may be central to therapy. For others, the focus may be on anxiety, depression, relationships, or stress — with the confidence that your provider respects and affirms who you are without requiring explanation. Both are valid starting points.
Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific experience with LGBTQIA+ concerns. Reading detailed provider bios can help you understand their approach, style, and areas of focus before reaching out. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge whether a provider feels like the right fit.
Therapy in the Gilbert area can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use insurance. Many in-network providers in Arizona accept major plans, and confirming your coverage before your first session can help you avoid unexpected costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront — so you know what to expect before you commit.
