Jennifer Kottler

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Hi, I’m Jennifer Kottler, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I’m passionate about supporting individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, psychosis, addiction (including Medication-Assisted Treatment), and substance use disorders. My approach is collaborative—we’ll work together to create a care plan that truly fits your needs and goals.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe, judgment-free space to talk about their mental health. My practice is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based care. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your concerns, knowing that your voice is heard and respected. Treatment decisions are always made as a team, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

A bit about my background: I’m a graduate of Wilkes University, and most of my nursing career has been dedicated to addiction and mental health. I decided to become a PMHNP because I wanted to make a bigger impact for my patients. In my first year as a PMHNP, I helped launch an MAT program and served as the main provider. Today, my practice focuses on mental health, and I plan to expand addiction services in the future.

I believe that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward meaningful change.

I am a PMHNP with 4 years of experience providing mental health care to individuals [and/or families/couples]. Through my practice, EP Serenity, I work with clients experiencing [anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, grief, relationship concerns, stress, life transitions, maternal mental health, etc.]. I provide assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for anxiety depression , ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorders, insomnia, OCD, women's issues and domestic abuse survivors.

My approach is individualized because I recognize that no two people—or two life experiences—are exactly alike. I draw from , person-centered therapy, to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthy coping skills, navigate difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.

As a mother of four beautiful children, I also understand the many roles, responsibilities, joys, and challenges that can come with caring for yourself while caring for others. I bring compassion, authenticity, and a real-world perspective into my work while maintaining a professional and supportive therapeutic environment.

Outside of my professional life, I love spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and anything that allows me to connect with nature. I believe that life is about more than simply getting through the difficult moments—it is also about discovering what brings you joy, purpose, peace, and connection.

My hope is that our work together will help you feel more confident, supported, and equipped to create the life you want.

I would be honored to walk alongside you in that journey. Welcome to EP Serenity.

You should know that I truly see you — not just your symptoms or diagnosis. Many clients come to me feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck — often after feeling unheard or dismissed by other providers. My goal is to understand the full picture — your goals, challenges, and values — and create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your care. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other psychiatric concerns.

I combine evidence-based psychiatry with a holistic, personal touch. Care with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and never rushed. I don’t push medications or rely on quick fixes — I work with you to find clarity, balance, and lasting relief through treatment that fits your life.

Happy patient looking away

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 Philadelphia

Finding psychiatrists in Philadelphia starts with knowing whether you want medication-focused care, therapy, or both. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or med management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, credentials, and care approach before choosing who to book.

Philadelphia has many psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, University City, and Northeast Philadelphia, which can make it harder to narrow the search. Consider whether an office near transit or your routine matters, or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Reading bios can help you understand session structure, communication style, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Philadelphia 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 cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, many of whom take your insurance and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare options, 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
