Shaquitia Jones
I bring over two decades of experience as a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, with a focused emphasis on mental healthcare over the past 10 years. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect, and working collaboratively toward meaningful, lasting outcomes. I provide medication management tailored to individual needs. I am especially passionate about helping those with obesity related to binge eating disorder. Treatment options for obesity related to binge eating disorder include approved stimulant medications and GLP-1 receptor agonist injections or oral medication for obesity related to binge eating that are available through Eli Lilly’s LillyDirect Pharmacy with a valid prescription, with both insurance coverage (major insurance plans accepted) and self-pay options available depending on your coverage.
During your medication management sessions, I will also provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for you to discuss your thoughts, emotions, challenges, experiences, and concerns.
While I am unable to provide standalone psychotherapy through Grow Therapy, I incorporate supportive therapy into medication management visits and can assist with referrals to qualified psychotherapists for ongoing counseling.
First session
I like creating a warm and supportive space where you can explore your challenges, have open and honest discussions, and find the guidance and support you need.
Strengths
I am straightforward and goal-oriented but understanding and empathetic, which means we will work to gain a deeper understanding of your challenges, attempt to tackle them head-on and work together to find solutions.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve adults ages 18–65+ who are living with a range of mental health conditions and who are seeking thoughtful, collaborative medication management. My ideal client is someone who is ready to take an active role in their care, is open to discussing both benefits and risks of medications, and values a respectful, transparent partnership in decision-making.
Treatment methods
Supportive
My approach to mental health and psychiatric treatment is rooted in compassion, understanding, and empathy. I believe in evidence-based practices, personal accountability, and empowerment. It’s not just about treatment; it’s important to understand the complexities of mental health, build a solid therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect, and work together toward better mental well-being.
