I am Dr. Faith Pettyjohn PMHNP-BC, a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, with a Doctorate in nursing practice (DNP) from Rutgers University. I specialize in many psychiatric conditions, including but not limited to the treatment of Mood Disorders, Anxiety, PTSD, Psychosis and more. I am licensed and provide services in New Jersey and Pennsylvania by Telemedicine. I am driven to create safe space for clients to maximize their wellness, and recovery, becoming their best version of themselves. My purpose is to help facilitate that process for you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our initial sessions, we will collaborate to create a plan for addressing symptoms in a way that helps you get your life back. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in practice. With CBT and MI, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I provide evidence-based treatments through therapy and medication management to help patients lead a healthy and fulfilling life. I understand that seeking help can be difficult and I am here to support you on your journey. I value meaningful connections with patients to assist in improving quality of life.
