Hi, I'm Jennifer Eastman, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner passionate about helping people through comprehensive medication management tailored to your unique needs. I'm currently pursuing my Doctorate in Nursing at Western University of Health Sciences, where I also completed my Master of Science in Nursing and post-graduate certifications in both Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Practice. This dual training gives me a holistic perspective on how mental health intersects with overall physical wellbeing. I bring over 20 years of healthcare experience to my practice, including years as a Registered Nurse in pediatrics and emergency care, where I became a Certified Emergency Nurse. My extensive work in clinical research as a Sub-Investigator in CNS clinical trials has kept me current on the latest evidence-based treatments and emerging medication options. I specialize in psychiatric medication management for adults and adolescents, treating ADHD, depression and mood disorders (including bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, and personality disorders. I take time to understand your complete story—not just your symptoms—so we can develop a treatment plan that actually works for your life. My approach integrates both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions, and I carefully monitor treatment response to make adjustments as clinically indicated. I believe in trauma-informed, culturally competent care, creating a safe space where you feel heard and respected. I understand that starting or adjusting psychiatric medications can feel overwhelming, which is why I prioritize clear communication, patient education, and shared decision-making throughout your treatment. I don't just prescribe medication—I partner with you and collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and other supports in your life to ensure comprehensive care for long-term stability and improved quality of life.

Frequently asked questions
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 Salem
Finding the right psychiatrist in Salem starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of ongoing care. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also diagnose and prescribe. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with psychiatrists or psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners when medication support is part of your care. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s specialties, training, and bio to see whether their background matches your needs.
Salem has a smaller local network than larger Oregon cities, so virtual appointments can help expand your options beyond nearby offices in areas like West Salem, Keizer, and Polk County. Psychiatric care often follows a different schedule than therapy. Medication management visits are usually shorter and may happen less often than weekly therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare Salem psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each bio describes the psychiatrist’s approach and communication style.
Psychiatric care in Salem 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 you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. You can compare bios, choose between virtual and in-person care when available, and book directly when you find a psychiatrist who matches your needs and 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.
