Supporting Good Mental Health

Under the supervision of a board-certified medical doctor, Succor Psychiatry & Wellness provides the most advanced treatment and therapies to support good mental health.

Hello, I am Lakesha Jones, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) educated to treat mental illness across the lifespan. I attended Grand Canyon University, receiving a Master of Education in Nursing degree. I also attended National University, received a PMHNP certification in 2019, and am currently a Doctorate Nursing Practice (DNP) candidate.

I use various methods and tools, such as CBT supportive therapy, to engage patients in exploring distorted thought processes that contribute to current symptoms. I also use psychotropic genetic testing to examine how genes influence your response to commonly prescribed medications for treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other mental health issues.

I use solution-focused techniques where miracle questions are asked to encourage patients to resolve the current situation. I also assist the patient with making the connection between behaviors and current mood. My goal is to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues by promoting awareness, increasing accessibility, and decreasing negative stereotypes. I manage and treat most mental health disorders, but my areas of interest are Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, PSTD, and ADHD. I have experience in both inpatient and outpatient facilities.
