I’m Jaime Snyder, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (APRN-BC) with over 20 years of nursing experience and specialized expertise in both mental health and addiction medicine.

Hi, I’m Ozzie (Ohh-Zee) —a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 26 years of experience in healthcare. I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, supporting individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and more.
In my practice, I strive to create a warm and collaborative environment where you feel heard and supported. My approach blends therapy and medication management, always tailored to your unique needs and goals. I’m here to help you navigate your journey toward healing and to help you feel more like your true self.
My journey to becoming a provider has given me a unique perspective on resilience and growth. I immigrated to the United States from Rwanda in my early twenties, learned English from the ground up, and worked my way through multiple degrees while gaining diverse life experience. This background helps me connect with clients from all walks of life and understand the challenges of navigating complex systems.
I have 20 years of experience in healthcare and firmly believe that mental health is essential to overall health. I am excited about the changes in our culture that have shined a spotlight on mental health. I believe it is time to fight stigmas and continue to promote emotional well-being. I'm a board-certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and specialize in managing mood disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and bipolar disorders, with approaches tailored to each client’s needs.
I believe healing happens best in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I bring both curiosity and compassion to every session, and I genuinely love learning about the unique story that makes you you. I’m thoughtful, a little quirky in the best way, and always eager to grow... both as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a person. That means I stay open-minded, ask meaningful questions, and work collaboratively with you to find what truly fits your needs. You’re the expert on your life; I’m here to support you with knowledge, guidance, and encouragement.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
My background is in all aspects of mental health and substance abuse.
I earned my BSN from Duke University in 2014, my Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) degree from Gonzaga University in 2017, and my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2020. I also completed a Plant-Based Nutrition certification through Cornell University. My background spans both community and mental health care, including experience at a large community health center in Washington, DC, where I worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. My foundation in family medicine has given me extensive experience caring for people with co-occurring mental health and complex medical conditions. I also have significant experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and strive to provide compassionate, whole-person care that meets each patient's unique needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Raleigh
Finding psychiatrists in Raleigh starts with understanding what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be one part of your care. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on what you are looking for.
Raleigh has a range of behavioral health options across the city, from central neighborhoods to nearby areas around Cary, Wake Forest, and Garner. As you compare psychiatrists, consider appointment availability, whether you prefer in-person or virtual visits, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. 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. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s clinical focus, communication style, and approach before you book.
Psychiatric care in Raleigh can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, lets you check insurance compatibility, and offer direct booking, so you can compare profiles, review availability, and schedule a psychiatry appointment when you are 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.
