Our therapists provide anxiety therapy in Jonesboro, AR

Hello, my name is Jessica Watt, a board-certified PMHNP with a passion for helping individuals improve their mental health. I care for adults in outpatient psychiatry and substance use treatment settings, providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and evidence-based care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2015 and my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University in 2022. I primarily work with adults experiencing substance use disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD, trauma-related concerns, insomnia, and other mood disorders.

I believe effective mental health treatment is built on trust, collaboration, and individualized care. I take time to listen to your concerns and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with education and practical strategies to help you understand your symptoms and make progress.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to face it alone. Whether you are facing new challenges or struggling for years, you deserve compassionate care. I am committed to providing a safe, respectful, judgment-free space where you can feel empowered to make meaningful changes. If you are ready, I look forward to partnering with you.

I'm an LPC with 8 years of behavioral health experience. My main goal is to help clients find relief and growth in a safe, open, and supportive environment.

Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I provide practical tools to help you understand thought patterns and build healthy coping skills. Whether your child struggles with emotional regulation or you are navigating a difficult transition, we will work collaboratively toward healing.

In my practice, I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. Working together, you can expect to focus on adjusting your thoughts to improve your behaviors and emotions, while honestly exploring the reality of your choices in a supportive environment.No matter what challenges you or your child are facing, you do not have to carry them alone. Taking the first step can be hard, but I am here to walk alongside you with compassion and support. Please reach out today; let's start building your path to healing together.
