Hello, my name is Sherri Crespin, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner passionate about providing integrated care for complex mental health challenges, including personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, substance use disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice recognizes these conditions are interconnected in ways requiring specialized understanding.
I chose these specializations because I understand how trauma influences personality development, how ADHD complicates substance use recovery, how symptoms emerge during extreme stress, and how these complex interactions require providers who see the complete picture. Whether you're in recovery while managing other conditions, dealing with personality patterns that developed as survival mechanisms, or navigating multiple diagnoses, I bring the expertise needed for comprehensive care.
My approach emphasizes evidence-based treatments and the healing power of being truly understood. I recognize that seeking help for stigmatized conditions like personality disorders takes tremendous courage, especially after negative experiences with providers. I create a therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences without judgment or shame.
You can expect a thorough assessment, personalized treatment planning, and consistent support throughout our work together. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and thrive in your daily life.

I'm Jennifer Shocklie, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in Arizona and Oregon, and I provide medication management with supportive psychotherapy fully by telehealth. Before moving into full-time practice, I spent two years as clinical faculty at Grand Canyon University teaching Population Health and psychiatric rotations, so I've sat on both sides of the classroom and the exam room. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and I bring a culturally attuned, neurodivergent-affirming lens shaped by my own blended background and a life full of moves and transitions. If you've ever left an appointment feeling like your provider only got half the picture — your history, your culture, the way your brain actually works — that's the gap I built this practice to close.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Goodyear
Finding psychiatrists in Goodyear starts with understanding the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Psychiatric care may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and OCD. Medication management often includes reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is working, and adjusting the care plan when appropriate. Some people start with a prescriber, some start with a therapist, and some work with both.
Goodyear is a smaller city, so local appointment options may be more limited than in nearby Phoenix-area markets. Virtual psychiatry can expand your search while still letting you choose in-person care when available. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, scheduling fit, and follow-up cadence can matter as much as office location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Reading bios can help you see each psychiatrist’s specialties, care style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
Psychiatric care in Goodyear can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes the search easier by helping you find psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who are accepting new patients, match your plan, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
