I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Heartland Mental Health Services, holding a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University (2024).

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.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
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 Peoria
Finding the right psychiatrist in Peoria starts with knowing what type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Both can be helpful entry points depending on what you’re looking for, so it helps to review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical background, and approach before booking.
In a mid-size city like Peoria, your search may include local offices as well as virtual appointments across Arizona. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling, availability, and appointment format can make a meaningful difference. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading psychiatrist bios can help you understand session structure, areas of focus, and whether they offer the kind of care you want.
Psychiatric care in Peoria can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare appointment options, 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.
