Hello, I’m Jason Wilcox-Harden, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Georgia. I work with adults facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and grief. With 3 years of clinical experience, I’ve learned that many people—especially those in rural communities—struggle not because they aren’t trying, but because the available treatment often hasn’t truly met their needs.

I've been a psychiatrist for over 30 years and have worked in many areas within the field. I trained during the era when psychiatrists still saw people in psychotherapy and treated them with medications when necessary. Gradually, the psychiatrist's role has shifted away from one as a psychotherapist toward one as a specialist in biological interventions, usually medications. Certainly not every patient asking for help from mental health professionals needs medication, but most patients who need medication or who can benefit from medication can also benefit from focused psychotherapy. I still have this perspective and utilize it as much as possible.

FAQ - LGBTQ+ Psychiatrists
What are the advantages of seeing an LGBTQ-friendly psychiatrist?
Psychiatrists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions using a combination of therapy and medication. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for effective treatment. For many LGBTQ+ individuals, working with a psychiatrist who understands or shares aspects of their identity can be an important part of feeling safe, heard, and respected in care. Providers familiar with LGBTQ+ experiences may be better equipped to address minority stress, identity development, gender dysphoria, coming out processes, family rejection, discrimination, and other concerns that uniquely affect LGBTQ+ communities and can impact mental health treatment.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly psychiatrist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful resource that allows you to filter for psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) based on their experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals. You can look for providers who identify as LGBTQ+ themselves or who mention LGBTQ+ affirming care in their profiles. Consider looking for key indicators such as use of inclusive language, experience with gender-affirming care, or a focus on trauma-informed and identity-centered approaches. It’s also important to consider practical details, such as whether the provider offers telehealth, their therapeutic style, and whether they accept your insurance.
