Dr. Rashidah Garrett-Hall
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 24 mi away • Manalapan Township, NJ
I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.
I’m Rocio Jenkins, MSN, APN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing evidence-based, compassionate care to adults and adolescents across New Jersey.
I specialize in anxiety disorders, ADHD, depression, trauma-related conditions, and women’s mental health. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, or unsure whether medication is the right next step. My role is to help you gain clarity, emotional stability, and confidence in your treatment plan.
I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly share their experiences, goals, and challenges. I strive to meet clients where they are while helping them build insight, confidence, resilience, and lasting wellness.
Welcome!
As a board-certified psychiatrist with a specialty in child & adolescent psychiatry I believe healing happens when we address the whole person- mind and body. Seeking help is often the most difficult step on one's healing journey, so congratulations on taking the first step!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Cranford
Finding psychiatrists in Cranford starts with knowing whether psychiatric care matches what you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and may be a better fit for other types of support. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and medication management. As you compare options, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach to see whether their background fits your needs.
Cranford is a smaller market, so local in-person psychiatry options may be limited. Virtual appointments can expand your search to more psychiatrists across New Jersey while still giving you access to licensed care from home. Psychiatric visits, especially medication management appointments, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, check appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and what each bio says about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in Cranford 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 helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly with psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan.
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.
