I’ve taken the ADHD Care Pledge to support safe and thoughtful stimulant use

Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Nicole, a double board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and family nurse practitioner with 30 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Vermont, specializing in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. My strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care was established through my doctor of nursing practice in psychiatry at Wilkes University.

As a psych NP, I treat a broad spectrum of mental health conditions in addition to my specializations.

I consider myself to be warm and empathetic, and collaborative in my approach to patient care. I strive to ensure that colleagues and patients feel heard. I have profound respect for the struggle that can overtake an individual’s life. I am committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment that allows people to access their innate strengths and call upon resources of which they may not yet be aware. I appreciate a team-based work environment and learn from colleagues and patients. I am rigorous in my medication management.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Nicole was effective in that it appeared she was acting only in my best interest, seeking to understand the context of my situation and then provide appropriate, catered feedback. I think compared to other professionals I have visited she was more informed and drew on a wider variety of possible solutions and diagnoses, which reinforced her competency."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I personally recommend Nicole, I have had the pleasure of meeting with Nicole for a long time and she has helped me reach goals I never imagined was possible. Nichole is one of the best. And deserves to recognition and for anyone who is scared to ask for help Nicole doesn’t make it hard to ask for help. She listens and understands the person. And I have a very very hard time explaining things and she has been able to follow me for more than a year. She is awesome and she really really cares about her patients and shows it every time I see her."
