Hello, I'm Heidi Fanslow, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and supportive care for adolescents and adults. I have more than 30 years of healthcare experience, with a background spanning oncology, inpatient psychiatry, behavioral health, and nursing education. After earning my Master of Science in Nursing from Gonzaga University, I transitioned into advanced psychiatric practice with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges and improve their overall well-being.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, mood disorders, OCD, and other mental health conditions. I recognize that each person's story is unique, and I strive to understand the full picture—including medical factors, life stressors, relationships, sleep, and daily functioning—to develop a treatment plan tailored to their individual needs and goals.

Hi! I'm a doctorally prepared Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife!

I work with individuals across the lifespan experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, burnout, hormone-related mood changes, and major life transitions. I take a thoughtful, personalized approach to understanding your concerns and develop an integrative care plan that considers the many factors influencing your mental health and well-being.

My goal is not just symptom relief - it's helping you feel like yourself again.

I’ve spent 10 years working with teens and families, and I care deeply about helping people feel understood. I create a space where you can be yourself and feel a sense of belonging, without judgment. I value both family connection and your privacy. Most of all, I believe real change starts with a genuine, comfortable relationship.

Psychotherapy provides a safe place to discuss fears, thoughts, and difficult decisions we as humans must make during our journey in life. I believe we are capable of making life changes with the right tools. I am here to listen without judgement. I believe we all have a story to share. Being heard is one of the most important aspects of communication.

My passion is working with clients who have experienced some form of trauma in their lives. By sharing your story, we can begin to process the trauma from experience to a new understanding, while remaining in the present.

I want my clients to know that I believe healing happens through collaboration, trust, and compassion—not judgment. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), with over 25 years of nursing experience in acute care settings, I provide evidence-based, person-centered care for individuals experiencing mental health and substance use concerns. I recognize that every person's story is unique, and I take the time to understand your experiences, strengths, values, and goals before developing an individualized treatment plan together.

I believe that medication is only one piece of treatment. When appropriate, I also incorporate education, supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, harm reduction, lifestyle interventions, and coordination with other members of your care team to support your overall well-being.

My role is not to judge your past, but to help you build the future you want. Whether you're seeking care for anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, or another concern, I am committed to providing honest guidance, evidence-based recommendations, and a therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect. I encourage questions, welcome open communication, and want you to feel empowered to participate in decisions about your care.

Together, we'll focus on helping you achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in your mental health and quality of life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

As a late diagnosed ADHD woman, I understand the struggles of perfectionism, anxiety and disordered eating and strive to provide neuro-affirming care. You deserve to feel good about yourself and I am confident we can get you there.

I’m a somatic psychotherapist blending attachment theories with depth-oriented care. Taking a holistic approach by paying attention to family of origin, cultural context, and resiliency stories. Specialties include: trauma recovery, eating disorders & mind-body integration. I especially enjoy working with professionals who are committed to self-discovery.

As someone who suffers from anxiety, I understand how impactful therapy can be. If you are constantly in your own head, overthinking every decision, feeling anxious, or worrying about letting people down, I can help. You may be someone who looks like they have it together on the outside, but on the inside, you're overwhelmed and exhausted. You might struggle to say no and set boundaries or to stop the racing thoughts you have. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone - and it doesn't have to stay this way.

adjustment disorder and grief. My clinical practice is grounded in a variety of proven
