Are you someone who values self-awareness, personal responsibility, and a collaborative approach to mental health? I work with individuals experiencing mood shifts, intergenerational trauma, postpartum transitions, or high-functioning anxiety—especially those who feel hesitant about psychiatric care or come from communities where emotional needs were ignored or stigmatized. My practice affirms LGBTQ+ and sex-positive identities, and I strive to offer deeply attuned, culturally conscious support.

Jordan Sloshower, MD, MSc is a board-certified psychiatrist, researcher, and educator specializing in integrative approaches to mental health and psychedelic-assisted therapies. Along with my team at West Rock Wellness, I seek to offer with care and compassion, a spectrum of therapeutic and transformational services that address root causes of suffering. I view conditions, such as depression and anxiety, through a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens and seek to help clients heal at those various levels. This involves creatively combining a variety of approaches, such as psychotherapy, medications, wellness and lifestyle interventions.

Go beyond symptom management into growth. Jacob Horton, MD, MBA combines Harvard and Yale psychiatric training, Buddhist-based mindfulness practices, psychodynamic therapy and therapeutic use of exercise to help clients faced with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma and ADHD. Clients can expect an improvement in symptoms, such as reduced anxiety or substance use, within a few weeks. As treatment progresses, our focus shifts gradually from surface-level symptoms to exploring the deeper, underlying cause of said symptoms and facilitating further growth.

Clients who tend to work best with me are curious, motivated, and committed to understanding themselves on a deeper level. Many people don’t realize how much their current thoughts, reactions, and relationship patterns are shaped by protective responses developed early in life. When you begin to recognize these patterns, it can be a powerful first step toward meaningful change.
My approach is both supportive and practical. I help you build insight into these patterns while also developing tools to manage them in your day-to-day life. When appropriate, I offer medication management as part of treatment to help reduce symptoms.

I provide thorough, in-depth evaluations with a focus on understanding the root of what you’re experiencing. My approach is open, honest, and direct; I care deeply about helping people find practical, sustainable ways to feel better, and I work collaboratively to determine what’s most effective for you.
I think critically, and tailor my recommendations with intention. I believe in a balanced approach that respects both the science of medication and the power of daily habits in shaping mental health. My goal is to help you understand your symptoms, identify the factors contributing to them, and find a clear path forward.

Welcome! I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner treating ages 21 and up. My philosophy is an integrative approach in treating the whole person - including the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and spiritual factors. I am a Connecticut native with European heritage and want to acknowledge the original habitants of the land I live on: the Hammonassets and Menunkatucks. I recognize myself as a privileged member of a white dominant world, and consistently try to challenge this norm. As a strong ally to marginalized communities, I do my best to promote inclusivity and improve access to psychiatric services.
