Meet Judy – Your Partner in Mental Wellness. With over 30 years of compassionate, evidence-based care, I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with understanding and support. As a board-certified and licensed Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I’ve worked across diverse healthcare settings—from critical care and trauma to substance abuse treatment—always placing your well-being at the center.
I hold advanced degrees in nursing, including credentials as a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Since 2008, my focus has been dedicated to addiction recovery and mental health, recognizing how deeply interconnected they are.
I offer tailored treatments including Suboxone (buprenorphine), Naltrexone, and others designed to support your physical and emotional healing. My mission is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move forward. Let’s take the first step together.
Take the first step to help. Call or Judith A Sheldon now - (331) 226-1681
