Anique Jones

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Georgia


I am a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized mental health care. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and respected. My goal is to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and collaborative, where you can explore challenges openly and move toward greater clarity, stability, and confidence at your own pace.

My clinical experience spans a wide range of psychiatric and co-occurring conditions, including mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related concerns, ADHD, substance use disorders, and personality-related challenges. I take a thoughtful, balanced approach to treatment, integrating psychopharmacology with psychotherapy-informed care, lifestyle optimization, mindfulness, and holistic strategies to support both symptom relief and long-term resilience.

I help by meeting you where you are. I take time to understand your story, your goals, and what truly matters to you. Together, we create a treatment plan that feels realistic, respectful, and aligned with your life. You are never reduced to a diagnosis in my care — you are seen as a whole person with strengths, experiences, and potential.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Savannah

> Finding addiction therapists in Savannah starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, and the impact these concerns may have on relationships or daily life. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists use approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team. > > In a smaller city like Savannah, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual appointments can help expand your search across Georgia. Recovery can change over time, and it may help to look for a therapist who describes their approach as respectful, practical, and non-judgmental. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist talks about addiction care, communication style, and what sessions may look like. > > Addiction therapy in Savannah can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer virtual or in-person care. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, browse therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
