Hello and welcome! I’m a ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) License in GA, MD, and North Dakota. I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care across the lifespan. I hold a master’s degree in nursing with specialized training in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and medication management, as well as psychotherapy.
My practice focuses on treating a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, addiction recovery and perinatal mental health concerns. I integrate a client-centered approach that may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), supportive counseling, and lifestyle interventions alongside medication when appropriate.
I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance rooted in trust, respect, and collaboration. Whether you're seeking support for the first time or continuing your mental health journey, I’m here to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Hi! My name is Jillian Canada, and I have lived in the state of Georgia my whole life. I found a passion for care and attended the University of Georgia where I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology followed by the University of North Georgia where I received my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working in private settings as well as community health centers with ages 4 years old and onward. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and attachment. I love walking with others as they grow into who they want to be.
