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.
I received both my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been in private practice for more than 10 years. Prior to private practice, my career began as an inpatient therapist on locked units at psychiatric facilities Cambridge Hospital (currently Sun Behavioral Hospital) and West Oaks Hospital. In addition to my inpatient work at West Oaks Hospital, I was a group facilitator with both adolescents and adults for the outpatient extension of the hospital: The Excel Center. My work at The Excel Center involved daily group therapy in both the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP).
Because of my work with the acute psychiatric population in intensive treatment settings, I am able to work as a generalist practitioner. I work with most issue from depression, anxiety, and OCD to trauma, addiction and relationships struggles... just to name a few.
Clients should know that I believe everyone has strengths and the ability to create positive change. My approach is supportive, respectful, and focused on what’s working rather than what’s wrong. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we set clear goals, highlight your progress, and build practical solutions that fit your life. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where your voice matters and where we work together to move toward hope, healing, and growth.
Compassionate, Evidence-Based Mental Health Care
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am committed to providing comprehensive, integrated mental health care that supports your well-being at every stage of life. Mental health is the foundation of overall wellness, influencing emotional balance, relationships, productivity, and quality of life. My goal is to offer individualized, evidence-based treatment tailored to your unique needs, helping you regain stability, resilience, and peace of mind.
I welcome clients facing a range of psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, schizophrenia, and other mental health challenges. Using a holistic approach, I consider biological, psychological, and social factors to create a treatment plan that fosters long-term healing.
Expertise You Can Trust
With more than 20 years of experience in patient care, I have worked extensively in diverse healthcare settings, gaining deep insight into both mental and physical health. I am board-certified in psychiatric mental health, medical-surgical, and critical care nursing, bringing a well-rounded perspective to patient care.
My academic background includes a Master of Science in Mental Health and a Bachelor’s in Nursing and Biology. I was honored to receive the Excellence in Nursing Award from the Good Samaritan Foundation of Texas, a recognition of my dedication to compassionate and high-quality care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Pasadena
Finding postpartum therapists in Pasadena starts with looking for support that matches your current needs. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood.
In a smaller city like Pasadena, local in-person options may be more limited, and virtual therapy can expand the number of therapists available to you. New parents may also need care that works with changing schedules, infant care, and physical recovery. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their experience with postpartum concerns, their communication style, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before you book. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
