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.

I am passionate about supporting my clients to feel congruent internally, so they can further understand and communicate their needs externally. While talking is the most obvious way for communication, I also love to incorporate our somatic experiences during sessions (with your agreement, of course). As an immigrant from Taiwan, it's also my mission to provide my expertise for people struggling with "fit in", while transitioning to any new environments.

I've spent 12 years working almost exclusively with teens and young

adults — the age ranges that are often the hardest to reach and the

most underserved. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and ADHD, and

I'm trained in Trauma-Focused CBT, which is an evidence-based

approach specifically designed for young people carrying past

experiences that are still affecting the present.

I offer telehealth sessions across Massachusetts, and I specifically

schedule evenings and weekends — because teens are in school and

young adults are at work when most therapists have open slots. I

provide affirming, knowledgeable care for LGBTQ+ teens and young

adults, and I've worked with identity and coming-out concerns for

many years.

I accept insurance through Headway, including Aetna, Blue Cross

Blue Shield, Cigna EAP, Optum, Oxford, and UnitedHealthcare —

including EAP plans, which many young adults have access to

through a parent's employer even into their mid-twenties.
