About

Hi, I’m Dr. N. Nicole Richardson, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC—but most people simply call me Nicole. I’m a doctorate-prepared, double board-certified nurse practitioner and the creator of WellNest Integrative Psychiatry, a holistic mental health practice built on compassion, connection, and balance.

Through my work, I help individuals explore the mind-body connection, break free from stigma, and discover practical ways to heal and grow. I believe mental wellness should feel personal, approachable, and empowering—whether that’s through therapy, medication management, mindfulness, or even the unexpected psychology behind everyday habits like gaming.

Welcome to my corner of the internet, where technology meets mental health, conversations are always judgment-free, and where Healing Feels - HUMAN.
