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.

 

I'm a post-master’s certification candidate for 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, and Collaborative Consulting. 

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

 

My goal is to always meet others 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 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. ​
