Jennifer Livingston MSN, NP, PMHNP-BC Psychiatric nurse practitioner
Jennifer is an integral element of the Littleton Couples Counseling team and brings a deep understanding of the psychopharmacological aspects of maternal mental health and women’s issues, anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, anger, grief, and loss. She prioritizes communication, relationship-building, and collaboration between providers and patients and believes the patient is part of the care team. Jennifer believes patient-centered care is the most beneficial approach to providing quality care. She knows you— the patient— is the expert on your life and mental health goals, and your voice should always be heard as you are the most valuable member of your mental health care team.
Jennifer began her nursing career in 2005 here in Colorado. Her nursing career has included working in hospitals, participating in nursing leadership, and caring for patients in community settings. This rich history helped guide her toward her current role as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) where she has the privilege of helping patients decide which mental health medications may be most beneficial and getting to know who her patients are outside of our office.

Jennifer often says, “I don’t ever want patients to feel rushed to make a decision or pushed in a direction that is uncomfortable or feels unsure. It is not only my responsibility to help you to understand your options, but it is my privilege to do so.”
