Getting to know JP Cortez
Welcome! I’m JP, your dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Maryville University. My goal during our sessions is to create an inclusive environment where you feel valued and supported.
Whether you seek guidance, healing, or simply someone to listen, I am here to offer my expertise and support. I have over 10 years of healthcare experience—4 of those specializing in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions including ADHD, depression, anxiety, addiction/substance abuse, insomnia, bipolar disorder, trauma, and more.
I offer expert psychiatric evaluations, giving you a better understanding of your mental health conditions and treatment needs. With my support, you don’t have to feel overwhelmed or frustrated by your symptoms.
Treatment will be collaborative. I’m a strong believer in helping others to help themselves, and your input and insight are vital in creating your treatment plan. My approach is grounded in respect for individuality, recognizing that different backgrounds and experiences shape each person. Together, we will discuss all treatment options and strategies so that your mental health journey aligns with your needs.
Allow me to help you gain mental freedom. Whether you’re considering medication management or seeking a safe space to talk about your mental health, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals and enhancing your overall well-being. I look forward to partnering with you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
After our first session, you can expect a collaborative and comprehensive approach to addressing your mental health needs. We'll begin by discussing your current challenges, personal history, and any relevant medical information. I'll work to establish a trusting and non-judgmental relationship, allowing you to feel comfortable sharing your experiences. Following this initial assessment, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan together, outlining short-term and long-term goals tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
Moving forward, I'll provide ongoing support and monitor your progress closely. Our sessions will involve a combination of therapeutic interventions, medication management if needed, and collaborative goal-setting. I encourage open communication, so we can regularly revisit and adjust our approach based on your evolving needs and progress. I aim to empower you with coping mechanisms, self-care strategies, and tools to navigate challenges independently.
As we continue to work together over time, the focus will shift towards building resilience and fostering long-term well-being. We'll explore deeper aspects of your mental health, addressing underlying issues and developing a more nuanced understanding of your strengths and areas for growth. The goal is not only symptom relief but also enhancing your overall quality of life and promoting lasting positive change.
Throughout our collaboration, my commitment is to support you on your journey toward mental health and personal growth, providing guidance, encouragement, and evidence-based care every step of the way. If you ever have questions or concerns, we'll address them together to ensure your comfort and progress.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
