Getting to know Jessica Heather
Heather is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and individualized support. With more than 15 years of nursing experience across intensive care, emergency medicine, home health, and juvenile detention settings, she brings both broad clinical experience and deep empathy to psychiatric care.
Her passion for mental health became personal after her son was diagnosed with PANDAS and ADHD. Through that experience, Heather developed a firsthand understanding of the challenges many individuals and families face while trying to access quality mental health care. This perspective continues to shape her compassionate and patient-centered approach today.
Heather works closely with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, stress, and other everyday mental health challenges. She believes strong therapeutic relationships are essential to successful treatment and strives to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel comfortable being open and honest.
Her treatment style is collaborative, holistic, and tailored to each patient’s individual needs and lifestyle. Whether treatment includes medication management, therapy recommendations, lifestyle changes, or a combination of approaches, Heather works alongside patients to develop realistic and sustainable care plans focused on long-term wellness and improved quality of life.
Patients often appreciate Heather’s approachable nature, supportive communication style, and ability to meet them where they are without judgment.
Outside of work, Heather enjoys spending time with her husband, three children, and goldendoodle.
Heather provides evidence-based psychiatric evaluations and medication management through secure telepsychiatry visits in a supportive and stigma-free environment.
