Getting to know Demetrus Jones
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based telehealth psychiatric care for children (ages 6+), adolescents, and adults throughout California. With more than 23 years of nursing experience, I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, stress, burnout, and co-occurring mental health concerns.
I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, empathy, and collaboration. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where every client feels heard, respected, and supported. I provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ+ affirming care, recognizing that each person's experiences, values, and goals are unique.
My approach combines comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, thoughtful medication management, and supportive psychotherapy. Using person-centered and compassion-focused techniques, I work with clients to build insight, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional well-being, and develop practical strategies for lasting change. I take time to explain diagnoses, treatment options, and medications in clear, understandable language so clients can make informed decisions about their care.
During the initial evaluation, we will discuss your concerns, review your medical and mental health history, identify your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Follow-up visits focus on monitoring progress, adjusting treatment when appropriate, and supporting your continued growth and recovery.
Whether you are seeking care for yourself or your child, I am committed to providing respectful, individualized psychiatric care that promotes resilience, emotional wellness, and an improved quality of life.
We kindly ask that any appointment changes be made as early as possible. Late cancellations/missed appointments may result in a $100 fee under the practice.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you can expect a compassionate, collaborative, and judgment-free approach to your mental health care. I believe the best treatment begins with listening. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns at your own pace and where your experiences, values, and goals are respected.
I take time to understand the whole person—not just your symptoms. Together, we'll explore what has been affecting your mental health, identify your strengths, and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle. I believe in shared decision-making, so I'll explain diagnoses, treatment options, and medications in clear, understandable language, ensuring you feel informed and actively involved in every step of your care.
My practice is grounded in evidence-based care and informed by person-centered and compassion-focused approaches. Whether you're seeking support for ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, stress, burnout, or other mental health challenges, I tailor treatment to your individual circumstances rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
I provide culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ+ affirming care and welcome clients from all backgrounds. I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and I strive to make the process as comfortable and supportive as possible.
Whether you're beginning your mental health journey or looking for a new provider, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build effective coping skills, and improve your overall well-being. Together, we'll work toward meaningful, lasting progress while creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and open communication.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Your first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and develop a clear understanding of what brings you to treatment. We'll discuss your current concerns, symptoms, medical and mental health history, family history, lifestyle, previous treatments, and the goals you hope to achieve. I take time to ask thoughtful questions and complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation so we can arrive at an accurate diagnosis and develop a personalized treatment plan.
If medication is appropriate, we'll review the benefits, potential risks, side effects, and available options together. I believe in shared decision-making and want you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident about every aspect of your care. If medication is not the best option, we'll discuss other evidence-based approaches that may better meet your needs.
Follow-up visits focus on monitoring your progress, evaluating how you're responding to treatment, making adjustments when needed, and addressing new concerns as they arise. My goal is to ensure your treatment continues to align with your needs and supports meaningful, lasting improvement.
In addition to medication management, I incorporate supportive psychotherapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered, and compassion-focused techniques into our visits. These approaches help build insight, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and support lasting behavioral change.
I view treatment as a partnership. I encourage open communication, welcome your questions, and strive to create a safe, respectful, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard and supported. Together, we'll work toward improving your mental health, daily functioning, and overall quality of life at a pace that feels right for you.
