I am Jessica Hinkley, and I am dedicated to walking beside you on your unique path toward healing and wellness.
As a highly experienced, doctoral-prepared, and dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a 24-year nursing career, I prioritize providing holistic, patient-centered, and trauma-informed care. My philosophy of care is deeply rooted in the understanding of the complex and multidimensional interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit, nurturing all aspects of your well-being. This guiding principle has been a constant throughout my work in diverse specialties, including internal medicine, oncology, palliative care, hospice, and acute and skilled nursing environments.
Dedicated to clinical excellence and lifelong learning, I hold degrees from Saint Catherine University and Winona State University, and I am board-certified through the respected American Nurses Credentialing Center.
I am sincerely committed to providing a safe, confidential, and nonjudgmental healing space where you can feel understood and genuinely cared for. Establishing this trusting environment where you can feel safe to share your journey is a privilege I take very seriously. Understanding the courage it takes to seek support, I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship with you. My approach to care is working together with you through shared decision-making to develop a holistic, evidence-based, and individualized care plan that honors your unique needs and goals.
Outside of my practice, I seek relaxation, balance, and rejuvenation through the calming and re-energizing presence of family, friends, and animals. My personal wellness practices include training for marathons and triathlons, enjoying time outdoors, playing with my three rescue dogs, ensuring restful sleep, enjoying a bowl of ice cream or two, and volunteering with animal rescues.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. I genuinely hope to have the opportunity to support you on your path to healing and wellness.
