I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialization in spirituality and depth psychology. At the heart of my work is a deep belief that healing begins with self-love and unconditional acceptance — for yourself, not just others.

Whatever has brought you here — grief, a difficult relationship, trauma, or simply a desire to know yourself better — I'm here to walk alongside you without judgment.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


Welcome, I'm Britney Jackson, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping adolescents and adults achieve better mental health through compassionate, evidence-based care. I understand that seeking help can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, stress, insomnia, and other common mental health concerns. Whether you're struggling with persistent worry, low motivation, difficulty focusing, emotional ups and downs, or life transitions, I am committed to helping you find practical solutions that fit your unique needs.

Before becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I spent several years as a registered nurse caring for patients in both inpatient medical and behavioral health settings. These experiences strengthened my ability to recognize complex mental health needs while providing compassionate, patient-centered care. Today, I combine psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, and patient education to help individuals achieve lasting emotional wellness.

My philosophy is simple: every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered. Healing begins with trust, collaboration, and a treatment plan tailored to your goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
