A psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced practice provider trained to diagnose mental health conditions, provide psychiatric evaluations, prescribe medication, and offer therapeutic support. At Inner Wellness and Health in Waldwick, NJ, care is delivered by a dual board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 17 years of clinical experience.

Psychiatric nurse practitioners are advanced practice nurses with specialized graduate-level psychiatric training. Many patients choose a psychiatric nurse practitioner for collaborative, personalized care and medication management.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your initial psychiatric evaluation includes a comprehensive discussion of symptoms, medical history, stressors, and treatment goals. Jessica takes time to understand the full picture before making recommendations, which may include medication management, supportive strategies, or ongoing follow-up care.
