My name is Jenni Griswold and I am a nurse practitioner dual board certified in psychiatry and pediatrics. It has been my privilege over the past 25 years to take care of children and adolescents in varying stages of health and illness, 15 of which have been in Bend. I have worked in general pediatrics and specialized in child abuse medicine. As a result of these opportunities, I have come to understand the lasting and complex impact of trauma on individual and societal health and wholeness.

 

These varying experiences grew a passion for mental health and wellness that inspired me to leave primary pediatric practice and return to school to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. I have a practice model that allows me to work in a cooperative way with children, adolescents, and families in my community to enhance or restore mental health and wellness.

 

Many years of clinical practice, raising a family, and weathering the storms that life inevitably brings have inspired me to pursue this calling to serve my community in a meaningful way. As much as my education prepared me, it is life experience in its totality that has been my greatest teacher and has brought me to this point. 

​

I am married and have three young adult children and a giant dog.  I enjoy all the beauty and adventure that Central Oregon has to offer including hiking, running, cycling, and cross-country skiing. I look forward to meeting you and seeing what we can do together.
