Jessica Thomas, PA-C

Physician Assistant (Psychiatry)
880 M.L.K. Jr Blvd, Chapel Hill, NC
I'm Jessica Thomas, PA-C, a Physician Assistant specializing in outpatient psychiatry at Advaita Integrated Medicine in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I earned my Master of Health Sciences in Physician Assistant Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (Go Tarheels!) and have previous experience working in acute inpatient psychiatry and clinical research. I take a thoughtful, evidence-based approach to psychiatric care, with an emphasis on understanding each patient's symptoms, medical history, experiences, and treatment goals. I believe effective mental healthcare begins with a thorough evaluation and open conversations about available treatment options. My approach combines psychiatric evaluation and medication management with an appreciation for the role of therapy and healthy lifestyle changes. When appropriate, I also incorporate strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help patients develop practical skills and make meaningful changes in their lives. I particularly enjoy working with patients who are curious about their mental health and open to exploring different approaches to improving their wellbeing. I value building long-term relationships with my patients and working together to develop treatment plans that support their health, daily functioning, and quality of life. Before becoming a Physician Assistant, I worked as a mental health worker in an acute inpatient psychiatric hospital and as a clinical research coordinator in women's health. During my Physician Assistant program at UNC Chapel Hill, I was honored to receive the Making a Difference Community Service Award. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially at the beach.
