Healing Across the Lifespan: A Partnership in Mental Wellness

Choosing a mental health provider is a deeply personal decision. You aren’t just looking for a prescriber; you are looking for a witness to your story, an expert in the biological complexities of the brain, and a partner in your recovery.

My name is Jessica Stanley, and I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My journey to this practice has been defined by a unique duality: the macro view of a healthcare executive and the micro focus of a dedicated clinician. Before opening the doors to this practice, I served as the Clinical Director for a large-scale healthcare organization. In that role, I was responsible for the oversight of complex systems, the mentorship of large clinical teams, and the implementation of evidence-based protocols across diverse populations.

While my time in leadership allowed me to impact mental health at a systemic level, my true passion has always remained in the quiet, transformative moments of the exam room. I have returned to full-time clinical practice to bring that high-level expertise back to where it matters most: the individual human experience.

Mental health does not exist in a vacuum, nor does it look the same at age seven as it does at seventy. I specialize in treating patients across the entire lifespan. Whether I am working with a child struggling to navigate their first years of school, an adolescent facing the pressures of identity formation, or an adult managing the heavy mantle of career and family, my approach remains the same: comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence based.

Areas of Specialization

Frequently asked questions

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 a Therapist in Boston

Finding the right addiction therapist in Boston starts with understanding the type of support you're looking for. Addiction and substance use concerns vary widely — from alcohol or drug use to behavioral patterns — and different providers bring different areas of expertise. Some therapists focus on approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or motivational interviewing, while others specialize in co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression alongside substance use. A provider's bio can help you understand their background and decide if their approach matches what you need.

Boston is home to a large number of licensed mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, someone located in a specific neighborhood like Back Bay or Cambridge, or a therapist with experience in a particular type of addiction. Reading detailed provider profiles and booking a free phone consultation can help you feel confident before committing to ongoing care.

Addiction counseling in Boston can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an addiction therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
