Hi, I'm Nicole, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Fortitude Mental Health Group, providing telehealth care for adults throughout California. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, and sleep concerns. My approach emphasizes comprehensive evaluation, thoughtful diagnosis, and personalized medication management within a collaborative, patient-centered framework tailored to your individual needs and goals.
I founded Fortitude Mental Health Group on the belief that seeking support takes strength and meaningful change often begins with the courage to take that first step. To me, fortitude represents resilience—the strength to keep moving forward through difficult seasons. I strive to create a warm, supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood.
I'm currently welcoming new patients and typically have appointments available within a week. Whether you're new to mental health care, looking for a fresh perspective, or seeking a more personalized approach, I'm here to make getting started as simple as possible. If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be glad to see if we may be a good fit.
