Find a psychiatrist in Fresno, CA — covered by insurance

Hello,

I am Dr. Jaeger and I welcome you to my practice. I look forward to sitting with you, hearing your story, and developing a plan to help you with your concerns and needs.

My role is to work alongside you to understand your experiences and develop a treatment plan that truly fits your life

As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience, I bring something distinctive to mental health care: a research-informed approach grounded in real-world compassion. My background as a Sub-Investigator in psychiatric trials keeps me current with the latest treatment innovations, while my Master's from Western University of Health Sciences and ongoing Doctoral studies ensure I'm always expanding my expertise.

I specialize in the conditions that require specialized understanding: ADHD, autism, complex patients, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD/trauma, schizophrenia/psychosis disorders, and substance use disorders, alongside comprehensive treatment for depression, anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. What excites me about this work is that every client teaches me something new about resilience and recovery.

My clinical experience spans diverse settings, from outpatient care to cutting-edge research, giving me a unique perspective on evidence-based treatment. I combine thorough psychiatric evaluations using DSM-5 criteria with personalized medication management, always staying current with the latest advances in psychiatric care.

What I want you to know is this: your mental health journey matters to me both professionally and personally. I'm committed to providing care that's not just clinically excellent, but deeply respectful of your individual experience and goals.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, including overthinking, low motivation, feeling overwhelmed, and a loss of interest in daily life.

Many of my clients come in feeling mentally exhausted, stuck in their thoughts, or unsure why things feel harder than they should. I work with adults of all ages, but I have a strong understanding of the challenges that often come up in early adulthood and major life transitions.

My goal is to help you better understand what’s going on and give you a clear, realistic path forward.

As your PMHNP, my goal is to understand your story and support you with respect and empathy. I believe mental health care works best when we work as a team and you trust that I will meet you where you are. My goal is to create a safe space for you to heal.

My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. I know that seeking help for your mental health can take courage, and I deeply respect each person’s journey. I take time to listen, collaborate, and find a treatment plan that fits your individual needs and lifestyle. I value open communication and believe that healing happens best when we work together as a team.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.

It's believed that more than 30-50 percent of individuals with mental health issues do not seek treatment or help. Congratulations, you have already taken a step in the right direction. Just like how a fractured bone causes discomfort and pain, poor mental health also causes day to day discomfort and malfunction. Continuing my analogy, one would expect to take medicine and use a cast to recover from such an injury. I will work with you to understand the situation that you are in and together we will come up with a safe and effective plan. My goal is to get you back up on your feet again without having to feel burdened by your mental health.

I’m a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who genuinely cares about my patients and their well-being. With ten years of experience and a strong foundation in empathy and compassion—shaped by my own life experiences—I strive to provide holistic care that nurtures both the mind and spirit. Losing my mother at a young age deeply shaped who I am and how I show up for others, allowing me to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, my goal is to support you through your unique challenges with patience and care. We'll work together to create a personalized plan for healing and growth—one that moves at a pace that feels comfortable and empowering for you. This is your journey, and I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.
