Psychiatry in Ashburn, Virginia Jenna Grimm, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Jenna Grimm is board-certified as a nurse practitioner in both psychiatric-mental health (PMHNP) and women’s health (WHNP). She received her master’s in nursing degree from Boston College in 2010 and her psychiatric-mental health post-masters certificate from George Mason University. She was previously employed as a women’s health nurse practitioner for over 11 years at an OB/GYN practice. She transitioned to working as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner 1 year ago for LifeStance Health, former Atlantic Counseling Group, in Ashburn.

Working as a nurse practitioner in women’s health over the last decade, Jenna became aware of the lack of mental health resources and the need for quality psychiatric nurse practitioners in the Northern Virginia area. Her interest in obtaining a secondary board certification in psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner began while observing the positive and negative connections between a patient’s mental and physical health. She found great satisfaction in helping women transition through stressful life changes, including going to college, starting a family, miscarriage, infertility treatments, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, and other challenges.

Her practice not only focuses on women’s mental health issues – such as pregnancy-related anxiety and postpartum depression – but also ADHD, anxiety, and depression in both men and women including adolescents. She performs medication management and individual therapy sessions. She encourages client collaboration in the development individualized treatment plans through a strong therapeutic relationship. Medication management includes monitoring medication effectiveness and side effects in a holistic approach, helping clients to heal by focusing on the entire person and taking their individual life experiences into consideration.

Jenna enjoys running and recently started working on weight training. She also enjoys cooking and trying new foods. She resides in Loudoun County with her husband and daughter.
