I am a board-certified psychiatrist who provides medically-oriented treatment for depression, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, and Attention Deficit disorder. I pride myself as using non-addictive medications as much as possible. As a physician (MD) with a background in psychology, medicine, and neurology, my care is above average compared to providers without this background.
My approach is laser-focused, precision medication management. In addition to my clinical expertise, I mentor medical students, residents, and fellow providers. I am an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Frank Netter School of Medicine. I plan to use all my clinical skills to help people achieve the maximum improvement in mental health.

My educational background includes degrees from Amherst College and St. George's University School of Medicine, followed by a Psychiatry residency at the UConn School of Medicine.

- Trauma

My practice is unique in that I combine traditional psychiatric expertise with holistic methods to treat the "whole you"—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just addressing symptoms.
My name is Jessica Harrison. I am a doctoral prepared, dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
I have an extensive medical background that includes primary care, urgent care, internal medicine and hospital medicine. My psychiatric experience includes substance abuse, eating disorders, crisis stabilization, and outpatient services caring for individuals with depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, women's mental health, and bipolar disorder II.
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a broad background in sociology. In my approach to treatment, I explore how culture, gender, and identity intersect with personality and neurochemical imbalances to produce psychiatric symptoms that impede daily functioning and interpersonal activities. Together with my clients, we determine the best pharmacological interventions to provide relief of these symptoms. I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, assessment for post-traumatic stress disorder, Connecticut state registration for eligible clients for medical marijuana, and Suboxone treatment.
I work with adults (26 - 64 years old) to improve the quality of their lives through a collaborative process in which client and provider together devise treatment plans that combine medication and behavioral modification. I am especially interested in men's mental health, but I work with all adults regardless of their gender identity.
In a world that is increasingly busy and complex, life can be overwhelming for all of us at some point in our lives. We all need a variety of ways to decompress. For example, I like to go to a pickleball court as often as my body will allow, where I find activity, community, and friendship. It is at these times when we need to reach out for support. Don't feel you have to struggle alone. I invite you to reach out and make a connection.
Welcome! I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 3 years' experience. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to receive care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Bridgeport, CT
Finding psychiatrists in Bridgeport starts with knowing the type of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and support medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or OCD. 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 and experience match the concerns you want to address.
Bridgeport has local psychiatry options across areas like Black Rock, East End, and Downtown, but appointment fit can depend on availability, office location, and format. Virtual appointments can expand your options if nearby offices have limited openings or if your schedule fits better with remote care. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their approach, appointment style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Bridgeport 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 find psychiatrists who accept your plan, are accepting new patients, and offer clear appointment options. You can compare profiles, review 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.
