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

I am trained to treat a broad spectrum of psychiatric conditions including:

ADHD & Neurodivergence

Anxiety Disorders

Depression

PTSD & Trauma Recovery

I’m committed to assisting you in moving forward and making changes in your life through empowerment. Often, individuals feel powerless to make needed changes in their life. As a result, they stop believing in themselves, give up and stop taking the risks they need to in order to make change.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, and finding the right provider matters. I provide a warm, welcoming space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported. I worked in community health for several years as a bilingual nurse practitioner and place great value in providing culturally competent care.

My name is J.J. Mull -- I'm a clinical social worker and therapist in private practice. I trained and Smith College School for Social Work and received advanced training in psychoanalytic treatment at Cambridge Health Alliance through Harvard Department of Psychiatry. Since finishing my training, I have worked in a wide range of settings with people struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, substance use disorders, significant trauma, and many other issues. In addition to my clinical work, I am a writer, poet, and researcher and have been a professor in the Masters in Social Work program at Smith College for 4 years.

I believe mental health care should feel safe, compassionate, and deeply human. My approach combines psychiatry with a whole-person perspective, recognizing how stress, relationships, lifestyle, physical health, and past experiences can all affect emotional wellbeing. I strive to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported. I especially value honesty, kindness, and building a genuine connection with the people I work with.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes emotional health deserves more attention than it often gets. I help adults of all ages improve how they experience life by teaching practical, evidence-based skills. I specialize in CBT and DBT and work with concerns like anxiety and it's related disorders, OCD, trauma, depression, substance use, life transitions, personality disorders, relationship and interpersonal challenges. My goal is to help you build tools that lead to lasting change and personal growth.
