I bring a real world, yet compassionate approach to mental health wellness. I believe in emotionally and mentally meeting individuals where they are and walking alongside them every step of their mental health journey. I also empower healing through individual religious beliefs, self awareness and individual responsibility.

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 believe meaningful healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I bring over four years of clinical counseling experience, along with more than twenty-two years as a school psychologist, to support children, individuals, and families.

With more than two decades in education, I became deeply aware of how essential mental health support is for children and families. I witnessed firsthand how emotional challenges can affect learning, relationships, and overall well-being—and how transformative the right support can be.

These experiences led me to pursue a career in mental health counseling. Today, I partner with adults to help them build a strong, grounded foundation for themselves, one that naturally extends to their children and strengthens the family as a whole. I also remain committed to supporting teens as they enter adulthood, helping them develop the tools and confidence needed for lifelong well-being.

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.

s your therapist, my priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. I bring nearly a decade of experience in social work and mental health, with a focus on community care, grief, life transitions, and addressing disparities in treatment for the BIPOC community.

Hi, I’m Rochelle. I’ve been a therapist for over 25 years, and my goal is simple — to help you feel better, think clearer, and live your best life.

My sessions are warm, honest, and conversational. I don’t just listen — I teach practical tools and life skills you can actually use to manage stress, handle emotions, and build healthier relationships. Together, we’ll work through what’s weighing on you and find new ways to create peace and balance.

I take a whole-person approach — mind, body, and spirit — and I especially enjoy helping adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of their next step. Therapy with me feels like a safe, supportive space to learn, grow, and start feeling more like yourself again.

Counseling with a sense of humor! Licensed therapist since 2007.

As a certified EMDR psychotherapist and social worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that first step! I’ve been practicing for 15 years as a social worker, but in the last decade, I have shifted my main focus to clients aged 18 and up who are struggling with anxiety and depression.
