Ramona Girley, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training and expertise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of mental health conditions across the lifespan.

Her professional practice focuses on treating mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and co-occurring substance use concerns.

Sometimes life doesn’t feel like something you’re managing—it feels like something you’re reacting to.
Emotions can feel intense or unpredictable. Stress builds quickly. Relationships become harder to navigate. You may find yourself shutting down, lashing out, overthinking, or feeling overwhelmed by things that don’t seem to affect others in the same way.
I’m Kristopher, a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, relationship challenges, family conflict, and emotional regulation difficulties. My work focuses on helping people understand what’s happening beneath their reactions so they can begin to feel more in control of themselves and their relationships.
Many of the people I work with are not “broken”—they’re overwhelmed, under-supported, or carrying emotional patterns that were never given space to be understood or healed.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Jackson, MS
Searching for therapists in Jackson starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained to provide it. Therapists can support people living with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and work stress. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy. A therapist’s profile can show how they describe their style, who they work with, and what to expect in sessions.
In a smaller city like Jackson, local therapist availability can vary by neighborhood and schedule. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer an office near Fondren, Belhaven, Downtown, or nearby areas like Madison. Virtual therapy can also expand your options across Mississippi when local appointment times are limited. To narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Jackson 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 find licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show estimated costs before you book. You can browse therapists in Jackson, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
