Meet Your Provider

Welcome. I'm Alexandra.

I'm Alexandra McReynolds, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of JuniperCare.

For the past five years, I've had the privilege of working as a nurse practitioner, helping individuals navigate mental health challenges with compassion and thoughtful clinical care.

Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I spent decades caring for people as a Registered Nurse. Over 37 years in nursing, I have had the privilege of accompanying individuals and families through many stages and phases of life. Those experiences have shaped the way I practice today—with respect for each person’s story, compassion for life’s complexities, and an appreciation for the whole person.

My decision to pursue psychiatric care is deeply personal. Having experienced the benefits of both medication and psychotherapy in my own life, I understand the meaningful role each can play in healing and well-being.

I believe there is great purpose in honoring and accompanying people through their individual stories and journeys.

My hope is that every person I work with feels genuinely listened to, understood, and witnessed.

A Little About Me

Understanding life's complexities.

Outside of my professional life, I've been married for 35 years and am the mother of three grown children.

My own experiences with marriage, parenting, and the changing seasons of family life have deepened my appreciation for the complexities of relationships and the many transitions we encounter throughout adulthood.

I recognize that life rarely unfolds exactly as we expect. These experiences inform the compassion and respect I bring to the people I work with.

Areas of Care

Support for life's challenges.

Anxiety

Support for persistent worry, overwhelm, panic, and the emotional and physical effects of anxiety.

Depression

Thoughtful care for low mood, loss of motivation, emotional exhaustion, and difficulty finding enjoyment or meaning.

ADHD

Individualized care for difficulties with attention, organization, executive functioning, and emotional regulation.

Sleep Disorders

Evaluation and treatment of sleep difficulties, including insomnia and disrupted sleep patterns.

Grief & Loss

Compassionate support for navigating loss, disappointment, life transitions, and the complex emotions of grief.

Trauma & Its Lasting Effects

Trauma can shape how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore the lasting effects of difficult experiences, understand patterns of protection and survival, and support healing at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
