My name is Jazmine. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My passion is helping people take charge of their mental health and overall well-being. Life can be challenging, and whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I believe in a holistic, patient-centered approach to care—one that prioritizes your unique experiences, goals, and strengths. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to take positive steps toward healing.

Building a strong, trusting partnership with my patients is at the heart of my practice. I know that small steps can lead to big transformations, and I’m committed to walking alongside you on your journey to better mental health.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Statesboro, GA


I provide a connected, supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you and feel genuinely understood. Using an eclectic approach, I tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you gain clarity and move toward meaningful, lasting change. Many people come to therapy because something in their life no longer feels sustainable—whether it’s anxiety, relationship strain, loss, overwhelm, or simply a sense of being stuck. My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood without judgment. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic connection in a safe environment.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fayetteville

Finding addiction therapists in Fayetteville starts with understanding the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, cravings, relapse patterns, and behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction, substance use, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs.

In a smaller city like Fayetteville, local appointment options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search while keeping care accessible from home. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach to recovery support. Recovery often takes different forms over time, so it can help to look for a therapist who uses a non-judgmental style and has experience with harm reduction frameworks. Reading therapist bios can show how they talk about goals, setbacks, structure, and collaboration before you book.

Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support more affordable. Headway helps you check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare addiction therapists who are accepting new patients. You can review bios, choose between in-person and virtual appointments when available, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
