Psychiatric Mental Health NP

If you’re looking for a psychiatric provider who will take the time to understand you, not just your symptoms or diagnosis, I’d be happy to work with you. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of healthcare experience and a background in a variety of psychiatric settings, including outpatient psychiatry, higher-acuity inpatient psychiatric care, interventional psychiatry, correctional psychiatry, and private practice.

I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adolescents and adults, with particular interests in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and sleep concerns. I also have a strong interest in helping patients understand the factors that may be contributing to difficulties with attention, mood, motivation, and daily functioning.

I believe mental health care should feel collaborative, culturally sensitive, and individualized. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and comfortable asking questions throughout the process.

Candice Jeffers

Candice Jeffers

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Fresno, CA


I'm Candice Jeffers, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with an unusual background—I spent nearly a decade in cardiovascular critical care before dedicating myself to mental health. That ICU experience taught me something crucial: psychiatric crises deserve the same urgency, expertise, and unwavering support as any cardiac emergency.

For nine years at Ascension Seton Medical Center's Cardiovascular ICU, I supervised teams through impossible situations. I learned to stay steady when everything felt uncertain, to read the subtle signs others might miss, and to offer hope when families needed it most. Those years shaped how I practice psychiatry today—with precision, presence, and profound respect for what you're facing.

I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at University of South Alabama in 2024, immersing myself in over 600 clinical hours spanning outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatry, and crisis intervention. My pediatric nursing background adds another layer—I understand how early experiences shape us and how differently mental health shows up across ages.

My practice centers on thorough psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and crisis intervention for all ages. I specialize in suicide risk assessment, trauma-informed approaches, and evidence-based treatments that actually fit into real lives. I'm MOUD-trained and licensed for telehealth in Texas, California, Arizona, and Florida.

Here's what matters most: I approach mental health as someone who's held space for both miracles and heartbreak. I know seeking help requires tremendous courage. I know healing rarely follows a straight line. And I know you need a provider who won't flinch, no matter what you share. My work blends critical care decisiveness with deep compassion—because you deserve both.
