Hello, I am a fierce advocate for my patients. My goal is to improve your functioning, thoughts, and enhance self-acceptance and self-love. I listen and together with my patients create a solution-focused treatment plan aimed at enhancing your strengths and reducing your symptoms. I have over a decade of skilled bedside nursing in critical care, hospice, and ICU. My passion is empowering and uplifting others to reach their full quality of life .
Are you the person who keeps it all together but you're exhausted doing it? I specialize in substance abuse, anxiety, burnout, and depression. Many of my patients spent decades being told they were fine, just anxious, just disorganized, just needed to try harder. They weren't. They needed the right evaluation and the right support.
I offer telehealth psychiatric care across Washington State. Most patients are seen within 1–2 weeks. I accept Cigna, Aetna, Quest Behavioral Health, and Carolina plans.
If you're ready to stop managing symptoms alone and start actually understanding your brain, I'd love to work with you.
About Me
Struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and/or chronic illness and still feeling stuck? Many of my clients have done years of talk therapy but continue to feel disconnected. You understand your patterns intellectually, but your nervous system hasn't caught up yet.
In my 22 years of clinical practice, I have found that nervous system dysregulation sits at the crux of all chronic illness, trapping the body in survival mode and blocking true physical and emotional healing. As a University of Washington graduate, I provide culturally sensitive, evidence-based care specializing in trauma resolution, discovering your true life purpose, and helping individuals make meaning out of tragedies. My approach balances academic and clinical rigor with a highly intuitive style, integrating somatic work and core beliefs to create deep, lasting relief. I describe myself as a direct, compassionate "soul sister" with a humorous, no-nonsense style—because let's face it, the human plight is nuts! Beyond individual therapy, I extend this transformative work to the community by offering interactive public workshops designed to help people get out of their heads and step into integrated change.
Hello, my name is Jenny Brady. I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, accepting patients between the ages of 5 and 70. I hold a doctorate degree in nursing and am also certified as a family nurse practitioner, allowing me to bring a holistic approach to your mental health. I love working with a variety of people and hold a special place in my heart for first responders and members of our military.
- Hi, I’m Anita, a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience and national board certification. I help adults navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, occupational and relationship struggles, burnout, and major life transitions.
- Many of the people I work with feel stuck in painful patterns that leave them overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward.
- My work is grounded in evidence-based therapies tailored to each person's unique needs, helping clients gain clarity, get unstuck, create lasting change — and ultimately exhale, feeling lighter and more grounded.
I bring a deep well of experience supporting people through some of life's hardest moments. My background spans hospital ER crisis work, oncology and end-of-life care, and geriatric mental health with veterans at the VA, including those in the early stages of memory loss and the caregivers supporting them. I've also worked closely with homeless veterans, individuals navigating grief and loss, PTSD, and those trying to leave domestic violence situations. Alongside this, I support clients with anxiety and depression, and I enjoy working with teens as well. Whatever you're carrying, chances are I've sat with someone facing something similar, and I bring that experience with me into our work together.
I’m Dr. Deborah E. Jones, PhD, ARNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults find balance, resilience, and renewed purpose. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to care—combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to promote lasting emotional wellness.
I’ve worked in nursing for more than 30 years across clinical care, education, and leadership, and for the past eight years I’ve specialized in psychiatric mental health as a nurse practitioner. My specialties include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns, and I especially enjoy working with individuals who are motivated to invest in their personal growth and well-being.
At Deborah E. Jones, Psychiatry & Mental Wellness, PLLC — A Lucid Collaborative, my goal is to create a therapeutic space where insight, healing, and clarity come together—empowering you to live with greater peace and confidence.
