Jennifer DeRaad

Board certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Jennifer has been partnering with patients since 1994, and furthered her education to become a Nurse Practitioner in 2011. In 2020, she opened a small practice in Fort Collins that has informed her of the needs of her clients (that are the BEST, ever), and is pleased to be able continue providing accessible, quality care that addresses her clients' concerns. Not limited to mental health. She believes the silo approach to medicine is lacking, and we are more than our parts. It's time to stop providing care that segregates systems. She draws upon evidence to guide medication management and treatments. She is not afraid to get into the research or science, and is thrilled to discuss your options.

What To Expect At Your Visit

Initial Visits are generally 60-90 minutes to obtain a thorough history and get to know one another. It is a good time to bring in past records or referrals. This is a time to begin to determine what is needed and to discuss options for treatment.

Follow up appointments are individualized. These visits will be scheduled for 25-55 minutes to meet your needs and depending on the treatment plan. Medication follow up appointments generally last 25 minutes.
