Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Harrisburg, PA

Hi! I have been in the therapy field for over 18 years, working with individuals and families in both outpatient, group, and residential settings. After a few unsatisfying careers and emotional stagnation in relationships, I recognized I needed to do some significant work on myself. I pursued therapy for myself which led me to appreciate the capacity and curiosity to want to help others.

I strongly believe that everyone deserves to feel validated and to have their story truly heard. I understand—both personally and professionally—how essential it is to have a safe space where you are taken seriously in order to create meaningful movement and change in your life. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, working with individuals and families in both therapeutic and life coaching settings. Throughout my career, I’ve supported clients of diverse ages, backgrounds, and diagnoses, and I bring that depth of experience into every session.

This is your journey - you’re driving, I’m sitting in the passenger seat to provide some direction when needed. Therapy is whatever you want it to be and I’m here for it! It’s not about my agenda or what I think you should work on. Just showing up for a session in an authentic way is productive. I have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds with a wide variety of issues including anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, and psychosis as well as interpersonal and relationship issues.

I’m deeply committed to providing nonjudgmental, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed care. I understand that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I take the time to listen, learn, and adapt to what works best for you.

I don’t expect perfection — I expect real people, with real experiences, showing up as they are. I bring not only clinical expertise but also lived understanding of how layered and complex healing can be. You’ll never have to shrink or code-switch in my care — your story, identity, and truth are all welcome here.

Hi, I’m Jennifer Kottler, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I’m passionate about supporting individuals facing challenges such as addiction (including Medication-Assisted Treatment), substance use disorders, ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD, and psychosis. My approach is collaborative—we’ll work together to create a care plan that truly fits your needs and goals.

I believe that everyone deserves a safe, judgment-free space to talk about their mental health. My practice is rooted in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based care. I want you to feel comfortable sharing your concerns, knowing that your voice is heard and respected. Treatment decisions are always made as a team, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

A bit about my background: I’m a graduate of Wilkes University, and most of my nursing career has been dedicated to addiction and mental health. I decided to become a PMHNP because I wanted to make a bigger impact for my patients. In my first year as a PMHNP, I helped launch an MAT program and served as the main provider. Today, my practice focuses on mental health, and I plan to expand addiction services in the future.

I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE SESSION AVAILABILITY AFTER 4 PM.

Outside the Office

I enjoy being active and being outdoors—walking, hiking, and and spending time with loved ones. I raise and train service dogs, attend dirt track races, meditate, and love cooking and baking. Family and friendship are at the heart of my life, and I find joy in making meaningful memories every step of the way.
