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 Phoenix
Finding psychiatrists in Phoenix starts with understanding the kind of care they provide. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or relationship stress. Some people start with a therapist, some start with a prescriber, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match the type of support you want.
Phoenix has a large mental health care market, with options across central Phoenix, Arcadia, Ahwatukee, and nearby areas like Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler. That range can make the search more detailed, so it helps to narrow by appointment format, availability, and fit. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Virtual appointments may fit better with work, school, or commute needs, while in-person visits may be a better match if you prefer an office setting. Before booking, read each psychiatrist’s bio to understand their communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in sessions.
Psychiatric care in Phoenix 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 price before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, verify your insurance, compare virtual and in-person 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.
