Jennifer L. Eden, PMHNP-BC
Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

I am a board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I received my Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo and my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and Masters of Science in Nursing from Molloy College. After graduating from nursing school, I worked in the emergency department at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip.

While working in the emergency department, I saw that people’s physical needs were being met, but their psychiatric needs were not. This lit my passion to continue my education and pursue a psychiatric mental-health nurse practitioner certificate from Molloy College so that I could develop and implement patient-specific treatment plans that integrate medicine and mental health for the most complete and effective treatment.

Before joining Nassau Psychiatric Services, P.C., I worked at one of the largest mental illness and chemical abuse (MICA) homeless shelters in Brooklyn. At the same time, I was part of an assertive community treatment (ACT) team providing care to those with significant functional impairment as well as serious and persistent mental illness or personality disorders, who have avoided or have not responded well to traditional outpatient mental health care and psychiatric rehabilitation services. My education, training, and professional experiences have prepared me to provide each patient with the utmost individualized care. I continue to have enthusiasm for learning, particularly cutting-edge science as well as knowledge involving the brain and body.
