Meet Jessica

Welcome! I'm Jessica Ogunye, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I'm glad you're here.

At my core, I'm a clinician who believes in real connections. This is a partnership. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood. Together, we'll explore what's working, what's not, and build a plan that helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and sleep concerns. My approach blends evidence-based care — including medication management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness strategies — always tailored to your unique needs. I take time to explain treatment options so you feel informed, empowered, and in control of your care.

My background is both clinical and systems-focused. I earned my Master's in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences and have trained in advanced treatments, including TMS, IV ketamine therapy, sleep medicine, and schizophrenia care. I've also served in federal behavioral health leadership roles at federal organizations, overseeing programs that impact thousands of individuals nationwide.

That experience allows me to understand not just individual struggles, but the bigger picture of how mental health care should work — and how often it doesn't. Whether I'm working with patients or advising on AI and digital health solutions, my goal is the same: to create care that is effective, thoughtful, and truly centered around people.

I have a deep commitment to serving diverse communities, including Black and BIPOC individuals, and supporting professionals, students, parents, and veterans navigating the stress of everyday life. You don't have to do it alone.

You're not just another chart here. My goal is that you leave each session feeling more grounded, clearer, and more hopeful.

"You're not just another chart. I believe in meeting you with humanity, consistency, and curiosity."
