Getting to know Kristina Jacobsen
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Chaminade University of Honolulu, I bring both advanced clinical expertise and dedicated leadership to my practice. My journey in nursing began with a deep desire to serve others, and I was fortunate to be able to do so while living and working in the rural communities of Hawai‘i. These early experiences grounded me in the importance of culturally sensitive, community-based care and instilled in me a profound respect for the resilience of individuals and families navigating mental health challenges.
My clinical focus is in psychiatry and addiction medicine, areas I chose because I believe in the fundamental worth of every individual, regardless of their background, diagnosis, or life circumstances. Mental health is health, and I am committed to providing comprehensive, compassionate, and non-judgmental care to all of my patients.
Over the years, I have seen firsthand how stigma, trauma, and systemic barriers can stand in the way of healing. My role, as I see it, is not just to treat symptoms, but to walk alongside my patients as a partner in their journey toward wellness. I strive to create a therapeutic space where people feel safe, heard, and empowered to take ownership of their mental health.
As a lifelong learner and advocate for holistic, person-centered care, I continue to pursue ongoing education and collaboration with other professionals in the field. My goal is to help bridge the gap between physical and mental health and to advocate for accessible, equitable mental healthcare in all communities.
Everyone deserves to be seen, understood, and supported, and I consider it an honor to be a part of that process.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my goal is to support you on your journey to better mental health with both clinical knowledge and genuine care. I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and heard—without judgment.
I take a personalized approach to treatment, combining evidence-based practices with an understanding of your unique needs and life experiences. Whether we're discussing medication, therapy, or a combination of both, I believe in working together to find what works best for you.
Your goals and values matter, and I’m here to help you move toward healing at your own pace—with empathy, honesty, and patience every step of the way.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I work closely with each client to complete a thorough assessment, so we can identify the issues that are causing the most stress or disruption in their life. From there, we create a treatment plan that’s focused, practical, and tailored to what matters most to them.
In addition to providing medication management when appropriate, I also integrate therapeutic approaches to support lasting progress. My goal is to build a strong, supportive relationship where clients feel comfortable and truly cared for, because long-term positive outcomes start with trust and collaboration.

I’m sharing this because asking for help after a relapse can feel terrifying. After 10 years sober, I slipped and was scared of the physical detox. Kristina, my psychiatric nurse practitioner, treated me like a whole person, actually talked to me, and communicated quickly when I needed support. She helped me through detox tremendously. She expects accountability, but she also made me feel safe and supported during one of the hardest moments of my life. Her guidance helped me get back on track and feel like myself again.

I can't thank Kristina enough for taking the time to truly listen and understand me. After years of feeling misunderstood within our healthcare system, I finally felt heard, validated, and supported. If you're nervous about seeking help, I hope this encourages you to take that first step with Kristina to change your life for the better!

She's been wonderful to work with. I appreciate her kindness and how she does her best to give you what you're looking for. She's always gotten back to me the same day whenever I need something to change. That's why I continue to see her ??

Over the years I have had some trouble finding compatible providers both PCP but especially for mental health needs. Especially this time moving back from Vegas- appointments and medications were a big source of my frustration. Kristina was recommended by a friend and I was able to get scheduled within a week. And then, even better- she had a cancelation and was able to be seen 2 days later. BEST EVER. immediately felt that I was being heard and not being dismissed about my struggles. Felt like a conversation vs trying to explain myself- I am not super comfortable sharing my latest diagnosis but she immediately made me feel comfortable and was actually suer excited that it was EASY to find someone so fantastic so quickly. I have since recommended her to others because i feel so lucky to have had such a seamless process but such an amazing provider. I cant say enough wonderful things about her and how comfortable she made me feel. Thank you Kristina- looking forward to this journey

Kristina was so helpful in understanding the full picture of my history, current situation, and future goals. She was thoughtful in her analysis of what might be important to me and what I should consider when choosing medication options. She was easy to relate to on a personal level while staying professional and on topic! I look forward to maintaining a relationship with her!

Great experience. She listened to my experiences and offered her insights and experience while still allowing me to feel a sense of control over my journey towards better functioning. Went above and beyond helping me figure insurance coverage for my medication.
