Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Hi, I’m Jennifer Kottler, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I’m passionate about supporting individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, psychosis, addiction (including Medication-Assisted Treatment), and substance use disorders. 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.

Therapist

I bring 20+ years of experience and a genuine belief that every person has the capacity for change. I'm direct but compassionate — I'll be honest with you, and I'll always be in your corner. I don't believe in labeling people or fitting you into a box. You are a whole, complex human being, and that's how I'll treat you. I also have experience working with dually diagnosed individuals and those navigating substance use alongside other mental health challenges, so no matter what you're carrying, I've likely sat with someone in a similar place.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Newtown, PA


Hello, I’m Regina, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 20 years of nursing experience caring for individuals and families across diverse backgrounds and stages of life. My nursing career has allowed me to support patients through some of their most vulnerable moments, including years working in hospice and end-of-life care, emergency medicine, addictions, and mental health. These experiences have shaped my compassionate, holistic approach to psychiatric care.

I specialize in helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, and addiction concerns, including alcohol use, substance use, and gambling. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and actively involved in your care.

At Grace Psychiatry & Wellness, I believe mental health treatment should be personalized and collaborative. Together, we will explore your concerns, develop an evidence-based treatment plan, and work toward improving your overall wellness and quality of life.

I believe that humans should ideally be unfolding and growing throughout their lifetime.
