Paula Jackson, Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 31 years of experience providing comprehensive psychiatric care across the lifespan. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing anxiety, depression, mood challenges, trauma, and behavioral concerns. I support people who are seeking clarity, symptom relief, and improved daily functioning through thoughtful, individualized treatment.

I earned my master’s degree in nursing from the University of Pennsylvania. My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and holistic, integrating psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, coping strategies, and lifestyle interventions. When appropriate, I coordinate care with families, therapists, schools, and other providers. I understand how overwhelming emotional and behavioral concerns can feel, and you do not have to navigate them alone. I am committed to meeting you where you are and partnering with you to create meaningful, sustainable change. When you are ready, I welcome the opportunity to support you on your path forward.
