“Meet Gena Nelson”            ​

Compassionate care, rooted in presence, respect, and real connection.

Hi, I’m Gena Nelson, a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating mental health and substance abuse challenges through an integrative approach. I offer mindfulness-based, trauma-informed mental health care through both private practice and secure telehealth services—so you can access support from a place that feels safe and comfortable for you.

My Approach

I believe healing begins with feeling seen, accepted, and heard—without judgment. My work is grounded in clinical expertise, but it’s led by compassion. I don’t just prescribe; I listen deeply, hold space for your story, and collaborate with you to build a plan that honors your individual needs, history, and identity.


Using a trauma-informed lens, I strive to create a space of emotional safety where you can move toward lasting wellness. Whether you’re coping with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, addiction, or other mental health issues—I’m here to walk beside you, not in front of you.

Who I Work With

I work with:

    •    Children and teens navigating emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges

    •    Adults facing life transitions, mood disorders, or chronic mental health needs

    •    Individuals  impacted by trauma or substance use

    •    Anyone seeking holistic, stigma-free psychiatric support

I welcome all people, including those who’ve felt misunderstood or marginalized in healthcare settings. You don’t have to show up as anything other than who you are. This is your space.

My Philosophy

    •    You are not your diagnosis.

    •    Healing is not linear.

    •    Mindfulness, medication, and meaningful connection can coexist.

    •    Everyone deserves mental health care that feels safe.

A Bit About Me

Beyond the clinical setting, I’m a big believer in slowing down, being present, and finding peace in small moments. Whether it’s enjoying nature, my horses, practicing mindfulness, or spending time with my loved ones, I try to live out the same grounding principles I share with my patients.

Thank you for considering me as a partner in your healing. I look forward to walking this path with you.
