Shelby Mills
Shelby is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience treating clients in a variety of psychiatric settings, including community outreach centers and outpatient private practices. She earned her undergraduate degrees from James Madison University and the University of Mary Washington, and her master’s degree in nursing from the University of South Alabama. Shelby often supports clients navigating life transitions and the challenges that may arise during these periods.
Helping a client to uncover what was intensifying her anxiety so much that she was unable to step foot out of her house to attend different activities whether that be running errands, attending family gatherings, or visiting with friends. Her lack of confidence towards her teeth was causing her stress but her anxiety intensified when she thought about going to the dentist so much so that she rescheduled her dental appointments 3+ times. We discussed medication management and were able to get her to her dental appointment. She is now thriving, smiling, and feeling comfortable enough to attend family gatherings.
A client can expect their initial visit to include a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, determination of treatment goals and education about diagnosis and available treatment options.
What motivates me to be a therapist is helping people find even just the smallest amount of relief from their struggles whether that be through listening, providing support, or both. Life can be challenging for a multitude of reasons and helping people find a reprieve to allow them to continue moving forward is what drives me in my field to continue providing supportive care to clients.
