Katherine (Jeniffer) Dawkins

Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Jeniffer, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 9 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Maine, specializing in ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and bipolar disorder. My master’s degree and psychiatric training were completed at the University of South Alabama, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.

Trained as a psych NP, I’m a generalist with experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions.

I approach patients with an open mind and know what is right for one may not be right for another. I feel medication management is a tool to be utilized in conjunction with therapy and other life modifications. I want to be an encouragement for people while also helping them to identify areas in life that would benefit from improvement. I want to help people feel present in their lives.
