Getting to know Jessica Faltinowski

She uses both therapy and medication to provide personalized mental health care. Her approach blends proven therapy methods with careful medication use to address the various factors contributing to mental health conditions. By combining therapy to target emotional patterns with medication to relieve symptoms, her goal is to support overall well-being and help clients reach their treatment goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Please note: I do not accept EAP programs. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I focus on fine-tuning psychiatric medications so you can find the most effective treatment with as few side effects as possible. My practice is a great fit whether you're exploring psychiatric medication for the first time or you've tried other treatments without experiencing the relief you were hoping for. I have clinical experience treating major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and treatment-resistant conditions, including cases where several earlier approaches have fallen short. Our first visit centers on a careful, in-depth review of your full mental health history. Together, we'll walk through your previous medication trials, including what helped, what didn't, and why you believe that was, along with your current symptoms and how they impact your life, any relevant medical conditions, other medications you take, and the outcomes you'd like to reach. This level of detail helps me understand how you typically respond to treatment and personalize every recommendation to fit you. I place a high priority on creating a warm, judgment-free space where you can speak openly about your experiences and concerns. My approach to medication management is methodical. I choose medications based on research evidence and your individual profile, apply thoughtful dosing strategies, and carefully track both how well a medication works and how well you tolerate it, making prompt adjustments whenever your clinical picture calls for it. Regular follow-up appointments keep your treatment on track, and I'm available between visits for any questions that arise. I also coordinate with your other providers whenever it strengthens your overall care. Clients frequently tell me that my analytical approach and steady persistence in finding the right solution for them are what set my care apart.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Please note: I do not accept EAP programs. Three principles guide my practice: careful assessment, honest education, and long-term collaboration. Effective medication management requires both clinical skill and a trusting relationship between us, built on honesty and mutual respect. Your first appointment lasts about an hour and covers a lot of ground. I'll ask about the symptoms you're experiencing, when they began, and how they affect different areas of your life, including work, relationships, self-care, and getting through an ordinary day. We'll review your psychiatric history closely, including past diagnoses and treatments, along with your medical history, current medications, any substance use, and family mental health history. With that full picture, I'll share my diagnostic impressions in clear, straightforward terms. If medication makes clinical sense, we'll discuss it in depth: how each option works in your brain and body, what improvements you can reasonably expect, which side effects to watch for, and how long benefits typically take to appear. Your questions and preferences are always part of the conversation, and we'll decide on next steps together. Follow-up appointments usually last 20 to 30 minutes and move to a monthly schedule once you've stabilized. These visits let us track how you're responding, recognize what's helping, address any challenges, and adjust the plan when needed. Finding the right medication often takes patience and careful fine-tuning, and I'll support you through every stage of that process. If questions or concerns come up between visits, you can reach me through our secure patient portal. I also collaborate with therapists and other providers whenever integrated care would benefit you, because coordinated treatment tends to produce stronger, longer-lasting results. My goal is for you to feel informed, supported, and confident in your care from the very first visit onward.

Jessica is very personable, attentive and caring. She listened to my concerns with zero judgement and offered multiple paths for my treatment while weighing the pros and cons of each choice. She is going to work with me on CBT for ADHD next and I'm very excited to continue treatment.

My visit was great! Jessica has been my doctor for a year now and I am in the best place I’ve been in mentally in years. She listens and truly hears you when things aren’t working with medication or if you are having a struggle elsewhere. She’s great!

I was a little skeptical of this company at first but was immediately impressed by the quality of care I received! Everything was so fast and easy and I’ve never felt more comfortable in an office. Jessica is awesome and always responds quickly and professionally. Would definitely recommend her and the office to others!
