Getting to know Jenna Watson

I am an ANCC Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Mount Saint Mary’s University and earned my Master of Science in Nursing at California State University, Long Beach. Prior to my career as a nurse practitioner, I worked in emergency nursing and inpatient psychiatric settings. Before entering nursing, I served in the US Army as a medic and completed my enlistment as a Sergeant. I am a married mother of twins, and my interests include learning to play the drums and guitar, going to the gym, and astrology.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am inspired to work in mental health as I believe wellness is multifactorial. The state of our mental health is what can influence our ability to function in our day to day. People of all walks of life, including myself, have either experienced a need for mental health care or loved someone who has. I am thrilled to provide care in a time where mental health is becoming less stigmatized. It is extremely rewarding to witness what a profound impact high quality mental health care can provide.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I tailor my approach and treatment plan to align with preferences and values through thorough assessment and consideration. I ask questions and I encourage my clients to do the same. Care should be collaborative and that includes hearing and respecting the individual seeking care. I provide recommendations for individualized treatment plans and work together to develop a treatment plan that is right for the client's perceived needs.

More information on payments and coverage

By scheduling this appointment, I attest to the following statements as part of my care agreement with Foresight Mental Health: ADHD Testing: I understand that validated, objective ADHD testing is required before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment at Foresight. I acknowledge that external records must be reviewed and approved, and that Foresight offers IVA-2 testing for a self-pay fee if needed. Medication Management: I understand that the decision to initiate, continue, or adjust medication will be made by the psychiatric provider following a full clinical assessment and is not guaranteed. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): I am not seeking MAT services (e.g., Suboxone, Methadone) for opioid use or withdrawal, as these services are not offered by Foresight. Suicidal Thoughts: I confirm I am not experiencing active suicidal thoughts with intent or plan. I understand that if my symptoms indicate a need for a higher level of care, I may be referred to more appropriate services. Telehealth Access: I have a stable internet connection and a private space for telehealth sessions. I also have a backup option (such as a phone or hotspot) in case of internet issues. State Residency: I confirm that I currently reside in the state where I am seeking care and will be physically present in that state at the time of my appointments. I intend to remain in that state for at least the next 30 days to support continuity of care. No-Show & Late Cancellation Policy: I acknowledge Foresight’s 48-hour cancellation policy and understand that late cancellations or no-shows will result in a fee of $125 for therapy or $150 for psychiatry. I understand that repeated violations may result in discharge from care. Custody Documentation: If seeking care for a minor, I acknowledge my responsibility to provide current and accurate custody documentation if applicable. I understand that providing false or incomplete information may affect the child’s care and result in liability.

Jenna has the gift of making one feel safe in such a very short amount of time. She was engaged and was detailed in the intake. I wanted to have her as my provider, but I guess not possible.

Jenna is warm, friendly, and empathetic. She took time to fully listen to my concerns and is clearly adept at diagnosis and recommendations for treatment of depression, anxiety, and related mental health conditions. I really appreciate that she acknowledged my unique situation and setbacks, and I truly felt safe and seen when speaking to her. I have a big move coming up out of state soon, so I will not be able to do telehealth sessions with Jenna in the long-term beyond a couple visits. Despite this, I felt fully supported by her in exploring options to continue getting the care and attention I need. Thank you so much for working with me, Jenna! You are a treasure.

I wasn’t expecting for everything to be so accommodating. I went into my meeting super nervous and scared that i wouldn’t be listened too and that my concerns would be dismissed but that didn’t happen at all. Jenna Watson was super helpful and really listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions!
