About Me
Jake Hernandez, PMHNP-BC
I grew up in Queens, NY, raised by parents from the Dominican Republic. Mental health wasn't a topic discussed in my home until, at 16, I came out as gay. That moment marked a turning point, and therapy became a vital safe space for both me and my mother. It also sparked my passion for pursuing a career in psychiatry.
I’m a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with licenses in both New York and Florida. I earned my bachelor's degrees in nursing and psychology from New York University, followed by a master's in psychiatric-mental health nursing.
Before becoming a PMHNP, I worked as a psychiatric registered nurse at an inpatient psychiatric facility for college students in New York City.
I founded ZenzyTalk to bridge gaps in mental health care and bring a sense of relatability to the patient-clinician relationship. My approach combines medication management with adjunctive psychotherapy, focusing on adults with conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and more. I take an integrative and holistic approach to care.
Currently, I live in Orlando, FL, where I can often be found at a local coffee shop on my days off. I’m an avid traveler, constantly adding new destinations to my list.
