My website

Hello, I'm Dr. Christopher Jackson, a dedicated psychiatrist who founded Empathy Wellness to help individuals achieve optimal well-being, free from judgment or inequity. Specializing in mood, anxiety, thought and psychotic disorders, I offer comprehensive services centering around medication management. My expertise also encompasses a wide range of specialties, including ADD/ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, dual diagnosis, OCD, self-harming, sleep issues, stress, suicidal ideation, as well as trauma and PTSD.

Evidence-based care includes both meds and therapy, so appointments with me tend to be a blend (noting full time therapy in addition to our sessions is often helpful). But all healing starts with taking the time to listen and understand the problem from the patient's perspective, develop a plan together and monitor progress towards the patient's goals.

If patient-centered care interests you and you're currently dealing with symptoms limiting your day-to-day function, I hope you will schedule an appointment directly from the Empathy website. Your mental health matters.
