Getting to know Dr. Shelia Jackson
I’m Dr. Shelia Jackson, a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing Education and Diabetes Education, as well as certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I specialize in helping individuals who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and mood-related challenges.
My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I combine medication management with supportive therapy, creating treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, goals, and life circumstances. I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms — and strive to help you find balance, healing, and renewed confidence in daily life.
With years of experience in both primary care and psychiatry, I bring a deep understanding of how physical and emotional health intersect. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting wellness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you can expect a calm, supportive, and collaborative environment. I believe that mental health care works best when it’s tailored to each person’s unique story, so our first sessions will focus on understanding what you’re experiencing, your history, and your goals for treatment.
I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, helping you find relief from symptoms while also learning tools to navigate life’s challenges. I explain things clearly, answer your questions, and involve you in every decision so you feel confident and empowered throughout the process.
Most importantly, I want you to feel safe, heard, and respected. My goal is to provide care that goes beyond symptom relief — helping you build resilience, regain balance, and move toward long-term healing and stability.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
During our first session, I take time to get to know you — not just your symptoms, but your story, history, and what you hope to achieve through treatment. We’ll talk about your current challenges, past medical and mental health experiences, and any important life factors that may impact your well-being. This helps me create a clear and accurate understanding of your needs.
From there, we’ll work together to develop a personalized care plan. This may include medication management, supportive therapy, or a combination of both, depending on what’s best for you. I’ll explain every step, answer your questions, and make sure you feel comfortable with the plan we build.
Follow-up sessions focus on progress — we’ll check in on how you’re feeling, make adjustments if needed, and continue building tools to help you feel better and maintain stability over time. My goal is to keep care collaborative, clear, and empowering.
