Healing Across the Lifespan: A Partnership in Mental Wellness

Choosing a mental health provider is a deeply personal decision. You aren’t just looking for a prescriber; you are looking for a witness to your story, an expert in the biological complexities of the brain, and a partner in your recovery.

My name is Jessica Stanley, and I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). My journey to this practice has been defined by a unique duality: the macro view of a healthcare executive and the micro focus of a dedicated clinician. Before opening the doors to this practice, I served as the Clinical Director for a large-scale healthcare organization. In that role, I was responsible for the oversight of complex systems, the mentorship of large clinical teams, and the implementation of evidence-based protocols across diverse populations.

While my time in leadership allowed me to impact mental health at a systemic level, my true passion has always remained in the quiet, transformative moments of the exam room. I have returned to full-time clinical practice to bring that high-level expertise back to where it matters most: the individual human experience.

Mental health does not exist in a vacuum, nor does it look the same at age seven as it does at seventy. I specialize in treating patients across the entire lifespan. Whether I am working with a child struggling to navigate their first years of school, an adolescent facing the pressures of identity formation, or an adult managing the heavy mantle of career and family, my approach remains the same: comprehensive, compassionate, and evidence based.

Areas of Specialization

I am trained to treat a broad spectrum of psychiatric conditions including:

ADHD & Neurodivergence

Anxiety Disorders

Depression

PTSD & Trauma Recovery

A bit about my educational journey: Upon Graduating from High School in Oregon, I headed East. I earned my Bachelors Degree in Communication Studies from Emerson College in Boston where I minored in Psychology. My Masters in Clinical Mental Health came years later from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, educator, and artist. I am skilled and experienced in supporting people working on issues of self-esteem/worth, traditional and non-traditional relationship issues, sexual wellness, body-positivity, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, recovery, life transitions, family issues, and more.

The work we do will be directed by the Person-Centered, Rogerian principles of unconditional positive regard, empathy, and belief in authentic human connection.

As your therapist I will work alongside you to help you learn to identify your emotions, learn healthy ways to express yourself, and healthy and effective ways of communicating with others. Together we will also identify your strengths as well as possible unhealthy thinking or behavioral patterns and how they relate to your everyday experiences and emotions.

I support women who are ready to reconnect with themselves and step into greater wholeness after years of over giving. Many of my clients come to me during times of stress, transition, or disconnection from their bodies, relationships or sense of purpose. My approach combines counseling and coaching with somatic techniques such as Reiki, creating a holistic path that supports body, mind and spirit. I offer a compassionate and space for healing, growth and transformation. Together, we release old patterns, awaken inner wisdom and open the way to a more authentic and empowered life.

I believe good mental health care is about more than checking off symptoms on a list.

As a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health & Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, I look at the whole picture—your mental health, physical health, sleep, hormones, nutrition, movement, stress, and everything else that may be affecting how you feel.

I listen first, then we work together to create a treatment plan that makes sense for your life. No one-size-fits-all approach. Just thoughtful, individualized care focused on helping you feel better and stay well.

We are working together to help you on your journey. I am openminded, direct and creative in my approach. When appropriate I use humor. I am an observer by nature and curious about my clients and their journey

I have been in human services for over 30 years. I am see individuals over 21 years of age. I am an LICSW and accept most insurances. Most of my experience is in trauma, substance abuse, anxiety and relational issues

I get so excited to watch clients learn more about themselves, build self confidence and grow as individuals. The transformations I have witnessed in the people I have worked with over the years is amazing and awe inspiring. Emotional pain can be incredibly difficult to deal with, especially on one’s own. Ultimately, we all deserve to feel better about ourselves and learn to care for ourselves in a more kind and accepting way.

We offer a wide range of mental and behavioral health support ranging from introductory psychotherapy and psychoeducation, medication management and client referral. You are guaranteed to always feel welcome and at home. We utilize a holistic, non-judgmental and person centered approach to provide quality care to our clients in a calm and relaxed environment. We provide telehealth and office visits. Ijeoma or IJ, holds a Master's Degree in Nursing, and is board certified Psych Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I’m Tori, a fully licensed independent clinical social worker, Certified Holistic Counselor, and Certified Brainspotting Practitioner. Over the years, I’ve worked with people in many different settings, but I’ve found that I especially love working with women and young adults who are trying to find their way back—or forward—to themselves.

Many of the women I work with are the people everyone else counts on. They may be successful, capable, caring, and getting things done while privately struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship patterns, or the weight of past experiences. I also have experience supporting women healing from gender-based violence, including intimate partner violence and sexual trauma.

I also really enjoy working with young adults ages 18–25. Becoming an adult can be exciting, confusing, lonely, overwhelming, and sometimes all of those things at once. You may be figuring out who you are, what you want, relationships and friendships, family dynamics, school or work, independence, or why everyone else seems to have this whole adulthood thing figured out when you definitely do not.

I don’t believe you need to become a different person to feel better. I believe you already have strengths, resources, and parts of yourself worth trusting. Therapy can help you understand yourself more deeply, let go of patterns that no longer serve you, develop new tools, and build a life that feels more like your own.
