I’ve taken the ADHD Care Pledge to support safe and thoughtful stimulant use
Hello, nice to meet you! I’m Scott, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 12 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across Colorado, specializing in depression, ADHD, anxiety, and LGBTQIA+ care. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in psychiatry at Frontier Nursing University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based mental health care.
As a psych NP, I treat a broad spectrum of mental health conditions in addition to my specializations.
I help clients find the support that fits them best, through medication management, therapy, and mind-body practices. My goal is to offer a calm, grounded space, using a client-centered approach informed by CBT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.

Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“As someone undergoing treatment for the first time, who had some reservations about taking that step, I can say that Scott Nelson is an extremely dedicated professional, who approaches his care-relationships with both an admirable professionalism and set of skills, as well as a very human disposition that really helps you feel comfortable that what you share will be analyzed well and used to help you get to where you need to be. Couldn't say enough about his skill and him as a person!”

“Scott took the time to listen to my concerns and get a whole picture of my experience. He explained what was going to happen in our initial meeting and this really helped me settle in and feel at ease. He is clearly well seasoned in this profession and has a very likeable personality which I think is very important in psychiatry.”
