Jean Desir, MSN, PMHNP-BC

My name is Jean Desir, and I am a dedicated Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 17 years of experience. I have spent my career at Jackson Memorial Hospital, working with a diverse range of patients. My passion is providing mental health services to my community, and I take pride in offering world-class healthcare.

I specialize in building trusting relationships with my patients and providing tailored, evidence-based care. Whether it’s helping someone through therapy or managing medications, I am committed to guiding my patients towards self-awareness and healing.

In addition to my psychiatric expertise, I have extensive experience in critical care, treating patients with severe conditions and providing support during drug or alcohol withdrawal. I also have a strong background in oncology, where I have assisted patients undergoing chemotherapy.

I am a firm believer in continuous learning and am always looking to improve my skills to better serve my patients. My goal is to be a strong patient advocate and make a positive difference in the lives of those I care for.

Let’s work together towards a healthier and happier community. If you need support, I am here to help.
