My name is Megan Higgins, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Calm Tides Psychiatry. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Wilkes University and am licensed in South Carolina. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, and adults through telepsychiatry. My background in critical care nursing and personal experience as a parent of children with mental health challenges have shaped my empathetic, collaborative approach. I’m dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to achieve wellness.
My name is Alethia King, and I am a License Clinical Mental Health Counselor and an Advanced Certified Grief Specialist. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with grief and anxiety issues. I have 24 years of clinical experience. I help by providing education and support in the grief process. I utilize empathy and compassion during this difficult time. In our first few sessions, you can expect a relaxed atmosphere where we share your loss and how you have been coping with your loss.
Hello and welcome! While maintaining an eclectic approach, my purpose is to provide you with a collaborative partnership in which you control the direction of
therapy. I serve to provide a non-judgmental approach toward presenting issues and with the
collaborative effort help identify goals that would translate to facilitative action outside of the clinic
through various treatment options.
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. With a background in psychiatric nursing, emergency medicine, and specialized training as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), I bring over a decade of diverse healthcare experience, blending clinical expertise with a deep understanding of human resilience in the face of crisis. 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.
With additional licenses in Louisiana, Utah, Arizona, Tennessee, and Florida, I can see patients via telehealth from across the country.
I have been active in the mental health community since 2019. During this journey, I have had the honor of working with clients from an array of backgrounds and various life experiences including and not limited to survivors of sexual violence, LGBTQ+ individuals, individuals experiencing housing instability, and overall assisting people as they navigate their personal healing journey.
