My professional experiences have given me a broad, well-rounded understanding of mental illness and the impact it can have on one's life. I bring both expert clinical knowledge and a compassionate approach to help clients navigate mental health challenges.

My focus is medication management, selecting the most effective treatment for each client based on careful evaluation of their individual needs.

I believe effective mental health care addresses the whole person and involves working together to find a path forward that fits your life. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your own care. 

Hello, my name is Jessica Watt, a board-certified PMHNP with a passion for helping individuals improve their mental health. I care for adults in outpatient psychiatry and substance use treatment settings, providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and evidence-based care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2015 and my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University in 2022. I primarily work with adults experiencing substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, trauma-related concerns, insomnia, and other mood disorders.

I believe effective mental health treatment is built on trust, collaboration, and individualized care. I take time to listen to your concerns and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with education and practical strategies to help you understand your symptoms and make progress.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face it alone. Whether you are facing new challenges or struggling for years, you deserve compassionate care. I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, judgment-free space where you can feel empowered to make meaningful changes. If you are ready, I look forward to partnering with you.

I am a LCSW licensed in 1989. Much of my career has been spent with military members and their families affording me with knowledge and insight into the complexities of military service. I have worked extensively with depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. I understand the burdens these painful circumstances bring. I believe in meeting clients where they are with compassion and empathy, and I believe in the indomitable human spirit. 

As a LCSW, I've had years of training in multiple methods of working with trauma including CBT, DBT, CBT-PTSD, ACT, Ego State, and EMDR. I believe in the worth of every individual and no two experiences are the same. I believe empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental approach set the stage for positive client outcomes.

In choosing to engage in therapy with me, I hope you will find warmth and acceptance, a listening ear and understanding heart. Once you engage, you will find the process fluid, with you in charge of your goals and outcomes while I provide tools, support, feedback, and encouragement along the way.
