Getting to know Jessica Marcello
Are you feeling exhausted from carrying depression, anxiety, or trauma—appearing fine on the outside while falling apart inside? You’re not broken, and you’re not alone. I work with people who are tired of just surviving and are ready to reconnect with calm, meaning, and a sense of wholeness.
I support adults struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, burnout, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with healthcare workers, caregivers, and high-achievers who have been holding everything together for everyone else—often at great personal cost.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach blends medication management (when it’s truly helpful) with IFS-informed therapy, somatic awareness, and functional psychiatry. I use a blend or precision medicine and functional genetic testing and lab assessment. Together, we look beyond symptoms to understand your unique biology, nervous system patterns, and life story. This work is not about quick fixes—it’s about addressing root causes and strengthening your own capacity for self-healing.
I'm a dual-board-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner with 18 years of experience in the trenches. I spent over a decade in ER, ICU, and perianesthesia nursing before specializing in mental health. I've completed advanced training in somatic IFS, functional genomics, functional psychiatry working ADHD/ASD, and integrative psychiatry. I'm a neuroscience nerd at heard with a passion for gut-brain health and genomics. I've also walked this path myself—I know what it's like to navigate loss, grief, transition, and loss that makes you question everything.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Here's what working together looks like: We start with a deep-dive initial session (1.5-2 hours) where we explore your whole story—not just what's wrong, but what you want for your life. Follow-up sessions (30-60 minutes) blend therapy and medication management when needed.
We look at what's working, what isn't, and how to navigate what's hard without falling apart.
I use evidence-based approaches grounded in compassion-focused therapy and neuroscience. Through IFS informed "parts " work, we'll understand the parts of you trying to protect you (even when they're causing problems). Through functional psychiatry and precision medicine, we'll look at root causes—inflammation, genetics, nervous system dysregulation—not just symptoms. I don't prescribe stimulants or benzodiazepines, but I have many other tools in my toolkit.
