Hi there, I'm Crystal!
I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed addiction counselor. I use targeted evidence-based approaches to best suit my client's needs.
Before private practice, I worked with clients experiencing depression and anxiety, psychosis, severe personality disorders, addiction, and homelessness, so I am comfortable treating a wide range of issues.
I'm Nicole Shelton, a double board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner (APRN, PMHNP, FNP). My experience in ICU and the ER informs my holistic approach to care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma across the lifespan. As a military wife and mother, I emphasize lifestyle balance, encouraging patients to integrate nutrition and exercise. I am dedicated to breaking mental health stigma and advocating for veterans and those impacted by trauma, ensuring you feel seen, supported, and empowered on your journey.

I have 10+ years of experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, including extensive experience in the treatment of depression and mood disorders, substance abuse disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychotic disorders.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I see every client as a human with dignity. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships issues, and religious harm.
I have 12+ years of clinical experience with outpatient/inpatient clients, crisis work, and supervising other therapists. Working with adults clients around trauma, self-exploration, life transitions, chronic illness, spiritual or existential issues, and grief/loss. I bring a sense of humor and an easy, informal approach to this deep and meaningful work.
Life is full of ups and downs, and I have learned from both personal and professional experience that 'suffering in silence' is not really sustainable or healthy for anyone. You deserve to feel heard and to function at your best level. I have 6 years' experience post-graduation from the University of Texas with helping folks do just that. From nonprofits, to medical clinics, to correctional facilities, to teletherapy, I have connected deeply and partnered with many clients and families to trudge through some of their darkest hours and find more validation, calmness, and acceptance. My fluency in Spanish has given me opportunities to break down walls and connect with hundreds of clients whose cultural background is different than mine. I would be honored to have the chance to see if working together is a good fit for your healing journey.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. and a trained in EMDR therapist. I work with individuals, partners, couples, and polycules on a variety of issues related to love, sex and relationships. I believe in the ethos of “helping others help themselves”; as a therapist, this is still my greatest strength as well as the cornerstone that has shaped my practice today. My specializations lie in treating those who are exploring their sex lives, whether it be individually or with a partner(s).
