Hi, I'm Jamie Plaxco, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping individuals find healing and balance in their mental health journey. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University, graduating summa cum laude, and have dedicated my career to providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care.

My areas of expertise include treating OCD, eating disorders, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders. This breadth of experience has taught me to meet people where they are and tailor treatment to their unique needs.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with individuals facing serious mental illness, those in crisis situations, and people seeking preventive care and wellness optimization. My training at UCLA's Department of Neurology and Riverside County Department of Mental Health provided me with a strong foundation in both the neurological and psychological aspects of mental health. I understand that mental health challenges often have complex origins, and I explore all aspects of your wellbeing.

I believe in treating the whole person, not just symptoms, and I value building therapeutic relationships with my clients. I work with clients across the lifespan and take pride in creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can collaborate on your path to wellness. My approach combines traditional psychiatric medication management with innovative, integrative treatments. Whether you're struggling with a long-standing condition, navigating a difficult transition, or facing new challenges, I'm here to support you with expertise, empathy, and evidence-based solutions. I stay current with the latest research and treatment modalities to provide you with the highest quality care. My practice is grounded in mutual respect and shared decision-making, ensuring your voice remains central throughout treatment. Together, we'll work toward lasting wellness.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Modesto

Finding OCD therapists in Modesto starts with looking for the right training, not just the right specialty label. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, rumination, avoidance, and related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and many therapists who support OCD also use cognitive behavioral therapy. Since not all therapists are trained in ERP, read bios for specific mentions of OCD experience, ERP, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or anxiety-related concerns.

In a mid-size city like Modesto, you may find a focused group of local therapists along with more options through virtual appointments across California. Virtual care can expand access if you want a therapist with specific ERP training, a certain therapy style, or appointment times that fit your schedule. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer free phone consultations, and describe how sessions are structured. A detailed bio can help you tell the difference between a therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity and one who has specific experience supporting people living with OCD.

Therapy in Modesto can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can review bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
