Welcome! I am Jeremy Wade, a dual board-certified Family and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over two decades of healthcare experience. After spending 25 years as an ER provider and clinical leader, I saw too many patients hospitalized simply because they couldn't access proactive outpatient psychiatric care. Driven by a passion to help this underserved population, I stepped away from the ER to dedicate myself fully to mental wellness. Today, I combine my deep medical background with my growing mental health expertise to treat the "whole you" in a safe, welcoming, and collaborative environment.
I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I did my own work first — after years in a career that looked fine from the outside and felt hollow on the inside, something finally clicked. I live with ADHD and ASD myself, and I'll be direct: it makes me better at this. I'm wired to hold fine details and the big picture simultaneously, connect patterns across a history, and notice what other providers might miss. I work especially well with children and adolescents (ages 6+), perinatal and antepartum folks, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people who are AFAB or identify as women — many navigating ADHD, autism, PTSD, PMDD, OCD, mood disorders, or a diagnosis that never quite fit. If previous providers didn't get the full picture of you, that's exactly the gap I'm here to close.
Welcome,
I am glad you have found your way here. I created this space for you to feel authentically seen, to access the parts of yourself that have been ushered into hiding; that depend on strategies like compulsively-spending, masking, frenetic cleaning, schedule cramming, and perseverating on nearly anything to avoid eye-gazing with the parts of yourself and your life that make you cringe.
I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner and somatic therapist, and I support millennials like you, who are experiencing burnout as a result of adulting through late-stage capitalism.
I weave integrative psychiatry + somatic coaching with the
belief that you are and will always be your own greatest healer. I am here to offer skill, clarity + tools in that company.
Through this work you will undoubtedly find more ease, pleasure, gratification + gratitude in your day to day life.
I specialize in Queer + Trans mental health, ADHD, Anxiety, Panic, Trauma repair + integration, PTSD, Perinatal mental health and the nuance of being human.

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 Mental Health Psychiatrist 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.
