Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer Self PHD LMHC APRN PMHNP-BC.

Dr. Jennifer Self is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Licensed Mental Health Counselor with more than 20 years of experience helping people improve their mental health and quality of life.

What makes Dr. Self’s approach unique is her ability to provide both psychiatric medication management and counseling. This allows her to look beyond symptoms and understand the whole person—their experiences, physical health, relationships, daily challenges, and personal goals.

Dr. Self works with adolescents and adults ages 14 and older experiencing:

  • Depression and mood disorders

  • Anxiety, panic, and OCD

  • ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and neurodivergence

  • Trauma and PTSD

  • Sleep difficulties

  • Alcohol and substance use concerns

  • Food addiction and binge eating disorder

  • Personality disorders

  • Grief, major life transitions, identity concerns, and questions of meaning or purpose

Dr. Self believes treatment should be collaborative and individualized. She takes time to listen, understand what matters most to each patient, and develop a plan that feels both practical and comfortable. Depending on the patient’s needs, treatment may include prescription medication, counseling, lifestyle changes, evidence-informed supplements, or advanced options such as Spravato or TMS.

Her goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to help patients feel more like themselves and function better in their everyday lives. She welcomes individuals of all backgrounds and orientations and is committed to providing an affirming environment for LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent patients.

Dr. Self holds a PhD in Counseling and Family Therapy, a post-master’s certificate in Family Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing, an MSN, and an MEd in Counseling. Her experience also includes university leadership, student mental health services, and teaching in counseling and nursing programs.

Dr. Self offers both in-person and virtual appointments and looks forward to meeting you and supporting your journey toward feeling better.
