Hi, I’m Dr Jen Jennings,

I’m a board-certified, doctorally prepared psychiatric nurse practitioner with nearly two decades of experience in advanced practice. I specialize in working with young adults in college mental health, supporting undergraduate and graduate students navigating the unique challenges of academic life, identity development, and early adulthood.

My approach is rooted in the belief that effective mental health care must be personalized and collaborative. I offer evidence-based treatment that blends medication management, therapy, and supportive strategies—such as lifestyle and nutritional counseling, lab work, supplements, and genetic testing—tailored to your individual needs and goals. We look into the root causes, to address the core issues that brought you in for treatment.

Before opening my private practice on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, I spent nine years caring for students at NYU’s Student Health Center. I’ve also worked in inpatient psychiatry and volunteered internationally with Doctors Without Borders. Outside of clinical practice, I’ve served on faculty at Columbia University and NYU, teaching psychopharmacology and mentoring the next generation of nurse practitioners.

My goal is simple: I want you to leave each session feeling more grounded, more understood, and more empowered. Whether we’re addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, identity concerns, ADHD, or academic burnout, our work is guided by curiosity, respect, and collaboration. When appropriate, I may also recommend complementary practices—like yoga, acupuncture, or osteopathic care—through trusted referrals.
