Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Forney, TX

My journey to becoming a psychiatric mental health provider originated from the need to provide psychiatric mental health services to all persons. I worked in an inpatient psychiatric setting for five years and decided to advance my career by obtaining my master’s degree in nursing - psychiatry. This advancement has allowed me to help others with their mental health journey. Do you need help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, psychosis, and mania? Reach out today! Your mental health is important.

Family Psychiatric nurse practitioner for two years and see all types of patients.

You might be here because you're navigating a major life transition — trying to get pregnant, adjusting to motherhood, or feeling burnt out from it all!

These seasons can feel overwhelming, isolating, and confusing, especially when you're used to being the one who has it all together.

I specialize in supporting women experiencing anxiety, burnout, life transitions, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and the unique stressors that come with new motherhood. Whether you're feeling emotionally exhausted, struggling with identity changes, experiencing postpartum depression or anxiety, or feeling stuck during a life transition, therapy can help you regain clarity and confidence. As a new mom who also lives with anxiety- I get you and I see you! You are not alone and there is a way through!

My approach is warm, collaborative, and supportive. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what you're experiencing and reconnect with yourself. Together, we work to help you feel more grounded, confident, and aligned with the life you want to create.

Hi, I'm glad you're here! I’m a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and life transitions. I offer a collaborative, supportive space where individuals feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change.

My background includes work in high-acuity settings such as correctional facilities, inpatient psychiatric units, and hospital-based outpatient care. At the Harris County Jail in Houston, Texas, I developed reentry-focused assessment tools to improve continuity of care between the court and medical systems.

I’ve been part of a team that built programs from the ground up, including a home visitation program for mothers, now offered through telehealth in both virtual and hybrid formats. I use structured therapeutic tools to help individuals actively engage in treatment.

I have a focused interest in depression, anxiety, grief, and women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum. I offer telehealth sessions across Texas, with insurance and private pay options available.

Hello, I'm Lindsay Shelton. I have worked in the mental health field since 2017, beginning my career in crisis services supporting individuals and families through challenging seasons of life. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Houston–Clear Lake and my Master of Education from Lamar University. I have a passion for supporting women and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, infertility, maternal mental health, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered.

Life can often feel like a series of overwhelming transitions, leaving you feeling disconnected or unsure of your next step. I provide a dedicated space for adults (22+) to slow down, reflect, and move forward with renewed clarity.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of trauma, managing a mood disorder, or facing significant life changes, my goal is to help you transform "feeling stuck" into a journey of intentional growth.

How We Will Work Together

My approach is relational, honest, and depth-oriented. Rather than just addressing surface-level symptoms, we will explore the unspoken beliefs and past experiences that quietly shape your daily life. By learning to listen to what your emotions are communicating, you can begin to respond to life’s challenges in ways that promote genuine healing and authentic connection.

Specialized Support for Couples

In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in marriage and pre-marital counseling. I help couples at all stages build resilient foundations, repair emotional disconnections, and foster a deeper sense of intimacy and mutual understanding.

**Please note: While I accept insurance for individual therapy, all couples counseling is private-pay only. Insurance does not cover relationship-focused therapy.

Your Journey Starts Here

You deserve a space where you are fully seen, heard, and empowered. No matter where you are in your journey, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
