Candice Jeffers

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • San Jose, CA


I'm Candice Jeffers, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with an unusual background—I spent nearly a decade in cardiovascular critical care before dedicating myself to mental health. That ICU experience taught me something crucial: psychiatric crises deserve the same urgency, expertise, and unwavering support as any cardiac emergency.

For nine years at Ascension Seton Medical Center's Cardiovascular ICU, I supervised teams through impossible situations. I learned to stay steady when everything felt uncertain, to read the subtle signs others might miss, and to offer hope when families needed it most. Those years shaped how I practice psychiatry today—with precision, presence, and profound respect for what you're facing.

I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at University of South Alabama in 2024, immersing myself in over 600 clinical hours spanning outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatry, and crisis intervention. My pediatric nursing background adds another layer—I understand how early experiences shape us and how differently mental health shows up across ages.

My practice centers on thorough psychiatric evaluations, personalized medication management, and crisis intervention for all ages. I specialize in suicide risk assessment, trauma-informed approaches, and evidence-based treatments that actually fit into real lives. I'm MOUD-trained and licensed for telehealth in Texas, California, Arizona, and Florida.

Here's what matters most: I approach mental health as someone who's held space for both miracles and heartbreak. I know seeking help requires tremendous courage. I know healing rarely follows a straight line. And I know you need a provider who won't flinch, no matter what you share. My work blends critical care decisiveness with deep compassion—because you deserve both.

Holly Shannon

Holly Shannon

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • East Palo Alto, CA


I'm Holly, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 23 years of clinical experience in psychiatric care and maternal-child health. This dual background has shaped how I see mental health: not as something separate from the rest of your life, but deeply woven into every transition, relationship, and challenge you face. My work taught me that women's mental health—especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and hormonal transitions—requires specialized understanding and individualized care.

I provide comprehensive psychiatric treatment for adults across a broad spectrum of conditions: perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD and trauma-related disorders, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia spectrum conditions. I have particular expertise in women's mental health throughout the reproductive years, though I welcome anyone seeking compassionate, evidence-based care.

My approach is straightforward: effective treatment should fit your real life. I combine psychiatric interventions—including medication management when appropriate—with practical therapeutic strategies and lifestyle modifications that actually work for you. I'll help you understand what's happening, why it's happening, and what options make sense for your unique situation.

What matters most to me is seeing you as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. You have strengths, values, relationships, and goals that deserve attention alongside your symptoms. Whether you're managing a long-standing condition, processing trauma, navigating major life changes, or simply seeking better balance, you deserve a provider who recognizes your potential and partners with you toward sustainable wellness.

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello! I am a Marriage & Family Therapist, licensed in OR and CA, and have a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology. I offer holistic psychotherapy to adults with an accepting, calm, and compassionate approach. Many of my clients are busy people with multifaceted lives, and deal with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, depression, grief and loss, and relationship concerns. Other clients reach out with work or career worries, creative blocks, spiritual matters, or for personal growth. I work from a Jungian perspective, so at times might incorporate dream work, symbolism and synchronicity into our work together. Ultimately though, I will meet you where you are and incorporate the tools best suited for you.

Dr. Lindsay Campbell

Psychologist

Virtual • Long Beach, CA


I'm a licensed clinical neuropsychologist and board-certified behavior analyst with specialized training in neuropsychology and neurodiversity-affirming care. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of presenting concerns, including ADHD, autism, trauma, anxiety, and complex relational patterns.

My background includes extensive experience in psychological and neuropsychological assessment, helping clients better understand how their brains work and how to adapt with insight and clarity. I also work with high-achieving and twice-exceptional individuals navigating emotional depth, perfectionism, and identity.

Beyond credentials, I bring curiosity, honesty, and a strong sense of ethics into the room. Therapy with me often feels both structured and deeply personal, we're not just managing symptoms; we're making meaning.
