Jessica Weaver
Jessica Weaver Provider Assistant & Spravato Clinic Coordinator | Overland Park

Born and raised in Kansas City, KS, I joined Interpersonal Psychiatry in July of 2019 and have been proud to support our clients and clinical team ever since. With a long history in customer service and years of hands-on clinical experience, I’m dedicated to creating a warm, grounded, and supportive environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

I’m currently a senior at Washburn University, finishing my bachelor’s degree in social work and earning my CCMA certification to further strengthen my clinical practice. My work is rooted in a strong commitment to recovery, self-awakening, mental health advocacy, and empowering individuals as they navigate their healing journeys.

Outside the clinic, you’ll often find me exploring nature, spending time with my family, traveling, diving into DIY projects, or embracing my interest in skincare and esthetics. I also maintain a spiritual, earth-centered lifestyle that helps me stay grounded, intentional, and aligned in both my personal life and my professional work.

Above all, I’m a proud mom of two boys who keep life wonderfully chaotic, inspiring, and full of motivation to keep evolving every day.
