I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, life transitions, family conflict, serious mental illness, and developmental and intellectual disabilities. I’ve supported people facing both everyday stress and more complex mental health concerns.
Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply need extra support, I’m here to help.
Hello, I’m Ashley Nelson. I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and therapist dedicated to helping individuals move from surviving to truly thriving.

My practice focuses on supporting adults, children, and families through life’s challenges — including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and the unique stressors faced by military members, first responders, nurses, and other helping professionals.
I have a deep passion for working with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and complex trauma, providing a safe, compassionate space where healing feels possible. My approach blends evidence-based psychiatric care with practical, real-life strategies, empowering clients to reclaim their sense of control, rebuild confidence, and create lives that feel meaningful again.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Shreveport
Searching for couples therapists in Shreveport starts with what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication patterns, conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples modalities in their bios, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.
In a mid-size city like Shreveport, finding one therapist who fits both partners’ needs and schedules can take extra planning. Virtual appointments may offer more options, especially if work hours, childcare, or travel across town affect availability. As you compare therapists, look at appointment times, whether they’re accepting new patients, and whether they offer a brief consultation. Reading bios can help you understand how each therapist structures couples sessions and whether their approach fits what you’re looking for.
Couples therapy in Shreveport can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated costs upfront, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
