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.

Therapist

As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that. You can learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life. I use cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, while never ignoring the human element and connection where the real change happens.
