Nicole Chittum

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Fortitude Mental Health Group. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual's needs and goals, specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their mental health journey. To learn more about me, Fortitude Mental Health Group, and the services offered, please visit www.fortitudemhg.com.

I believe mental health treatment is most effective when it is collaborative, personalized, and centered around the whole person. I take the time to understand each client's unique experiences, strengths, and challenges before developing a treatment plan. My approach combines thorough psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and supportive counseling to help clients achieve lasting improvement. I strive to build strong therapeutic relationships based on trust, transparency, and mutual respect.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a trusting, supportive relationship. We'll discuss what brought you to treatment, your personal and mental health history, your current concerns, and the goals you hope to achieve. As part of a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, I'll take the time to understand your unique experiences and needs so we can develop an individualized treatment plan together. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing openly at your own pace, and actively participating in your care.
