Jean R. Batalien
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Aurelius Mental Health, providing evidence-based psychiatric care for adults and adolescents with ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma-related symptoms, mood concerns, and emotional overwhelm. I specialize in complex presentations where symptoms overlap, such as ADHD with anxiety, depression with mood instability, trauma with emotional dysregulation, or bipolar symptoms requiring diagnostic clarity. My approach is collaborative, structured, and focused on helping clients gain stability, improve daily functioning, and feel more confident in their treatment plan. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported while we work toward greater clarity, emotional wellness, and meaningful improvement.
I specialize in complex presentations of ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD, with a strong focus on diagnostic accuracy, medication optimization, and functional improvement.
First session
Your first session is a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation focused on understanding what you are experiencing and what may be contributing to it. We will review your symptoms, psychiatric and medical history, medications, current stressors, treatment goals, and daily functioning. When appropriate, we will discuss diagnosis, medication options, non-medication strategies, safety considerations, and next steps. My goal is for you to leave the session with greater clarity and a practical treatment plan moving forward.
Strengths
My greatest strength is providing clear, structured, and individualized psychiatric care. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma-related symptoms, mood concerns, and complex presentations where symptoms overlap. Clients often appreciate my calm, direct, supportive, and results-focused approach. I emphasize diagnostic accuracy, medication optimization, education, shared decision-making, and practical treatment goals that support real-life functioning.
Ideal clients
I work best with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, and emotional overwhelm. I especially enjoy helping high-functioning individuals who feel exhausted, anxious, or emotionally stuck despite appearing successful externally. My approach is supportive, structured, and collaborative, with a focus on clarity, stability, and practical treatment goals. I strive to create a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their mental health journey.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
By utilizing ACT interventions, I help my clients reduce experiential avoidance, strengthen coping strategies, and improve overall functioning. We often combined ACT with medication management and other psychotherapeutic modalities, creating a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each individual’s needs.
