Dr. Jordan Stanton is a board-certified psychiatrist who joined Kansas City Psychiatric Group in July 2021. She believes exceptional psychiatric care begins with providing a space for patients to be heard. She strives to create a collaborative, judgment-free environment where patients feel understood and empowered to participate in their care. Her approach combines evidence-based medication management with patient education, psychotherapy, and attention to the many factors that influence mental health such as sleep, nutrition, physical health, trauma, hormones and lifestyle. She values thoughtful prescribing, consistent re-evaluation of medication regimens and works closely with patients to develop individualized treatment plans that promote both symptom relief and long-term wellness.
Dr. Stanton treats adults ages 18 and older with a wide range of psychiatric conditions, including depression, bipolar spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, cPTSD, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia spectrum disorders and substance use disorders. She has a particular interest in the relationship between physical and mental health, women's mental health, eating disorders, OCD and trauma. She is committed to helping patients better understand their diagnoses and treatment options so they can make informed decisions regarding their treatment plan. Dr. Stanton is proud to provide an inclusive, affirming environment and welcomes members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Originally from Michigan, Dr. Stanton attended Albion College before earning her medical degree from Kansas City University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed her psychiatry residency at Ozark Center in Joplin, Missouri, where she served as Chief Resident.
What matters most to Dr. Stanton
“My goal is for every patient to leave an appointment feeling heard, understood and hopeful. I believe psychiatric care should do more than reduce symptoms. It should help people regain their quality of life and feel more confident managing their mental health. Medication can be an important tool, but it is only part of the equation. I strive to help people feel more like the best version of themselves while reducing the symptoms that are getting in the way. Finding that balance requires thoughtful, individualized care, ongoing reassessment, and a willingness to reduce or simplify medications when doing so is safe and appropriate.”
