What Is Nurse Psychotherapy (and Why Might It Feel Different With Me?)

Hi there,

If you’ve landed here, you might be wondering: “What exactly is nurse psychotherapy? And why does it feel different?”

Let me start by saying this: you don’t need a perfectly wrapped problem to benefit from therapy. You don’t even need all the words. You just need to show up as you are—messy, exhausted, overwhelmed, or “I have no clue what’s happening.” That’s exactly where nurse psychotherapy begins.

What Is Nurse Psychotherapy?

Nurse psychotherapy is therapy with a nursing lens. It combines clinical expertise with deep compassion, trauma-informed care, and practical support for the real-life challenges you face.

We might notice how your nervous system is holding tension, talk about your health or recent lab work, and unpack the conversation you keep replaying in the shower. It’s therapy that meets your mind, body, and life circumstances, not just your thoughts.

This approach is especially helpful for:

• Parents and caregivers juggling work, school, and kids with complex medical needs like FPIES

• People experiencing burnout, overwhelm, or parenting stress

• Anyone who wants therapy that is practical, compassionate, and trauma-informed

You don’t need to have it together. You just need the courage to show up.

What sessions actually feel like

Therapy with me isn’t about jargon, lying on a couch, or performing for someone else. It’s real human connection with practical tools.

• We might cry, laugh, or swear—because life is messy and that’s okay.

• We move at your pace. You bring what you’ve got, even if it’s the overwhelmed or shut-down version of yourself.

• I bring the nursing perspective, trauma-informed guidance, and support for your nervous system and body.

You won’t get a magic fix—but you will get someone who has been there, knows the way, and won’t judge the mess.

Why Nurse Psychotherapy Feels Different

This therapy is different because it’s not just talking. It’s about understanding the connection between your mind, body, and life, and creating space to feel seen, understood, and supported.

It’s for the messy moments: “I don’t even know what’s happening,” “I definitely shouldn’t have said that,” or “I’m a disaster, but here I am.” Those moments are enough.

Families navigating FPIES or other complex medical care often feel isolated, exhausted, or traumatized. Nurse psychotherapy provides a safe, compassionate space to process those experiences while learning practical ways to cope and care for yourself.
