ADHD isn’t a lack of motivation 🧠

You can want to get something done and still struggle to start, organize, prioritize, or follow through.

thats executive dysfunction- NOT laziness

Understanding the difference can change how we approach treatment 🫶🏾

It’s not normal for your brain to constantly be ON.

Shut it off w/ less scrolling, less noise, fewer notifications.

Create more moments to just BE.

It's been a while since I've properly introduced myself and Zenzytalk has grown quite a bit over the last 5 yrs.

I'm Jake, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of ZenzyTalk.

I created Zenzytalk because I wanted mental health care to feel more personal, collaborative, and diverse. My approach goes beyond symptoms and prescriptions to consider the whole picture- sleep, movement, nutrition, stress, relationships, identity, routines, and the things that shape how you actually feel day to day.

At ZenzyTalk, we offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, ADHD assessment and testing, lifestyle-informed care, and more.

We have a special commitment to creating an affirming space for LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and culturally diverse communities.

Together, our goal is to help you function better, feel more like yourself, and build a life that supports your mental health.

Whether you've been here from the beginning or you're just finding ZenzyTalk, i'm glad you're here !

These were some of the symptoms I struggled with throughout college, despite always being a strong student. At the time, I never received an ADHD diagnosis or treatment and assumed I just needed to work harder.

The challenges became even more noticeable when I started my private practice, where managing multiple responsibilities, deadlines, and administrative tasks highlighted just how much ADHD was impacting my daily life.

At ZenzyTalk, we offer comprehensive ADHD evaluations, including Creyos cognitive assessments, to better understand attention, memory, processing speed, and executive functioning.

We also incorporate practical, non-pharmacological strategies alongside medication when appropriate to create a personalized treatment plan.

Some days progress looks like showing up regardless.
Some days it looks like setting a boundary, asking for help (when it’s hard for you), moving your body, taking your medication, or simply getting through your day.

Growth isn’t measured by perfection, it’s measured by the small, consistent steps that move you forward.

Be patient with yourself. The smallest of steps matter, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

One thing I hear over and over from psychiatric nurse practitioners interested in starting their own practice is: “I’m burned out and unsupported.”

Too many new Psych NPs are being thrown into high volume “mills” where QUANTITY is prioritized over QUALITY. Yes, these settings increase access to care, but mental health care needs more than accessibility.

I’ll never forget reviewing first job offer contract. It consisted of 15-min follow ups and 30-min psychiatric evaluations. The justification? “Efficient intake and follow-up forms to maximize time with patients.” (Paraphrasing, but you get the message.)

What happens in these environments?
• Patients feel rushed in an already stigmatized and vulnerable setting
• Thorough, holistic assessments and treatment planning become nearly impossible
• Sessions begin to feel like checklists instead of human conversations
• Mental health clinicians feel unsupported, burned out, and disconnected from the work
• Lifestyle factors, trauma, medical contributors, and social stressors often get overlooked because there simply isn’t enough time
• Overprescribing can happen when clinicians are pressured to “fix” complex issues quickly
• Patients may leave with prescriptions, but not always feeling truly seen, understood, or educated about their care
• High turnover creates fragmented care and weakens long-term therapeutic relationships
• Burnout becomes normalized instead of addressed

....honestly, the list can go on and on.

We have a mental health care crisis, and the conversation needs to be bigger than simply “deprescribing.”

It should center around building care that is safe, accessible, affordable, sustainable, and rooted in QUALITY.

What are your thoughts on the current state of mental health care and what changes do you think are most needed moving forward?

We live in a world where constant urgency, overstimulation, and dysregulation have become normalized.

Our nervous systems are stuck in overdrive. We’re always connected, always alert, always “on.” The human mind was wasn’t designed to be in a constant state of fight or flight.

It’s no surprise so many people struggle with focus, anxiety, burnout, and depression.

The real goal shouldn’t be doing more.
It should be:
• more downtime
• less stimulation
• more time in nature
• more face-to-face connection
• more quiet moments without distraction

Our minds and bodies are screaming for it. It’s time we listen.

Now what kind of psychiatric provider would I be if I didn’t practice what I preach.

I encourage and “prescribe” physical activity and exercise as part of every clients treatment plan.

There is substantial evidence showing how movement has a significant impact on mood, anxiety, stress regulation, sleep, and focus.

Honestly, it can also help keep medication needs lower over time

The focus shouldn’t be intense daily physical activity (although HIIT workouts are GREAT for the brain), but rather intentional & consistent movement in whatever form you have access to.
