Nearly a decade spent in a cardiothoracic ICU — first as a patient care assistant, then as a bedside nurse — built the clinical foundation I carry into every encounter. Caring for people during the most urgent and uncertain moments of their lives taught me how to think critically, stay calm under pressure, and advocate […]

I believe mental healthcare is a human right, and helping someone recognize that their mental health deserves the same attention as any doctor’s visit can alter the course of their life. In my work at a nonprofit organization, I provided individual therapy and built treatment plans around each person’s unique circumstances. What stayed with me […]

My path to nurse practitioner training at NYU is built on experience across inpatient behavioral health settings. First, as a mental health worker where I learned to stay calm in a crisis and work as a team to de-escalate tense situations, and currently as a registered nurse on an adult and geriatric psychiatric unit, where […]
Marion Jacques
My journey in behavioral health began in inpatient psychiatric units and psychiatric emergency settings, where I was first drawn to the field by the opportunity to witness transformation in real time. I saw individuals arrive in states of acute distress and — with the right interventions — gradually regain stability, begin to engage, and reconnect […]

My path to nurse practitioner training at NYU is grounded in nearly four years of inpatient psychiatric nursing across adult, adolescent, and pediatric units. Working at that level of acuity has given me a deep understanding of what it looks like when someone is at their lowest, and what it takes to help them stabilize, […]

Supporting the people who face the most barriers has always felt necessary to me. During my time running a county crisis program, I was honored […]

I’m passionate about treating the whole person, not just symptoms. Too often, mental health care is delayed until the point of crisis. In my practice, I pay close attention to how life stressors, trauma history, sleep, nutrition, and overall wellness shape mental health, with particular sensitivity to women’s needs. Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, […]

I’m committed to holding space for complexities and uncertainties on the path to transformation. My approach blends insight-oriented therapy — including psychodynamic work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and parts work — with body-based, somatic, and trauma-informed practices like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Being a […]

I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in curiosity, reflection, and trust. I believe meaningful change begins when people feel safe enough to explore how their past experiences shape their present lives — and empowered enough to decide where they want to go next. In our work together, my goal is to offer steady […]

My therapeutic practice is rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and deep respect for each person’s experiences and perspectives. I […]
