I'm Nicole Shelton, a double board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner (APRN, PMHNP, FNP). My experience in ICU and the ER informs my holistic approach to care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma across the lifespan. As a military wife and mother, I emphasize lifestyle balance, encouraging patients to integrate nutrition and exercise. I am dedicated to breaking mental health stigma and advocating for veterans and those impacted by trauma, ensuring you feel seen, supported, and empowered on your journey.
I am a published researcher and licensed professional counselor with a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology.
I am trained in the scientist-practitioner model and strive to ensure my clinical approach to therapy is informed by up-to-date and cutting edge research. I strive to create a safe and judgement-free therapeutic relationship where we can collaborate to accomplish your goals.
I am excited to work with folks 12+ who don't want therapy to feel like a doctor's office. I have experience working with anxiety, low self-esteem, disconnection, and trauma, as well as folks navigating difficult diagnoses and changing life circumstances that leave them feeling stuck, afraid, or alone.
I became a therapist after working for 15 years in international development and humanitarian assistance. After doing my own therapeutic work, I learned that I might be more helpful as a therapist, focusing on individual lives, rather than on systems. Being a therapist matched my personality traits, especially related to empathy, and it felt like a good fit. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with veterans, immigrants and refugees, and survivors of trauma. This experience showed me how therapy can help people feel better, heal, and recover no matter what happened in their lives. Over time, I've observed my clients feel more hopeful, relaxed, and at peace.
My communication style is empathetic and clear to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I listen deeply and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If you are nervous or working through something difficult, I will be receptive and calm.
