My Path and My Work

​Welcome!​

​

I’m a Mental Wellness & Health Coach and Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health RN. Informed by my experience as a Registered Nurse, I bring over 25 years of mental health, veterinary nursing, and healthcare expertise to support individuals on their wellness journey.

 

Currently pursuing my post-master’s certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), with a focus on therapeutic interventions, medication management*, and multidisciplinary care. While completing this advanced training, I continue to offer all Mental Wellness & Health Coaching Services. 

Licensed as an RN in California & Washington, I am especially passionate about supporting those facing anxiety, depression, perinatal or postpartum challenges, chronic pain, ADHD, and major life transitions.

 

My goal is to meet people where they are — with respect, curiosity, and a genuine desire to help them heal and grow. 🌱 I provide compassionate, individualized support - bridging gaps in mental health care and promoting wellness through evidence-based strategies. 

​​​​

With kindness, empathy, and compassion,

​

Cheryl Shepard, MSN Ed., RN, PMH-BC, PHN

*Coming in Spring 2027 - Psychiatric medication management and psychotherapy services will be available in California and Washington, pending board certification & state licensure as a PMHNP . At this time, it is not within my scope of practice to prescribe medication, diagnose, or provide psychotherapy services. I do, however, offer Mental Wellness & Health Coaching services. ​
