Jilian Hammond

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Illinois


I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a strong passion for helping adults navigate mental health challenges with clarity and confidence. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Maryville University, where I specialized in psychiatric care across the lifespan.

My clinical approach is collaborative, warm, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I provide medication management and integrate psychoeducation to help clients better understand and manage symptoms related to anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions. I believe in treating the whole person—not just the diagnosis—and in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely heard.

I currently see clients via telehealth only, offering flexible and convenient access to care from the comfort of your own space. Whether you're seeking your first psychiatric evaluation or continued support, my goal is to work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that supports your mental and emotional well-being.

Psychologist

I have a fundamental belief in the transformative power of therapy. I come to this belief not just as a practicing therapist but as someone who was profoundly shaped by therapy as a young man. Having started my own journey with doubt and hesitation, I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin this work. Talking about therapy can feel tricky as jargon and platitudes often dominate the conversation. What I can say is this: I believe in your capacity—within a therapeutic relationship that intuitively feels right to you—to become a better version of yourself defined on your own terms.

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 Aurora

Finding OCD therapists in Aurora starts with looking for the right training, not just a general therapy match. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, checking, reassurance seeking, contamination fears, and other OCD symptoms that vary from person to person. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is an evidence-based therapy for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you review therapist bios, look for ERP, OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or obsessive behavior listed as areas of focus.

Aurora offers both local therapy options and access to virtual care across Illinois, which can help widen your search when you want a therapist with specific OCD experience. A therapist who lists OCD as a specialty may have general familiarity, while a therapist who describes ERP training or experience with the OCD cycle may offer a more focused fit. You can also compare appointment availability, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist approaches OCD themes, compulsions, and care planning.

Therapy in Aurora 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
