About the Provider

Meet Your Provider

Nicole Chittum, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-C

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing telehealth psychiatric care for adults throughout California. I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, stress-related concerns, and sleep difficulties.

I believe mental health care should be thoughtful, collaborative, and individualized. My approach focuses on creating a supportive, judgment-free space where patients feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment. I take time to understand each person’s experiences and goals in order to develop personalized, evidence-based care plans that support long-term wellness.

I founded Fortitude Mental Health Group to provide high-quality psychiatric care outside the limitations of rushed, high-volume models. The name Fortitude reflects the courage it takes to seek support and navigate life’s challenges.

My goal is to help patients feel more stable, confident, and supported as they move forward in their daily lives.
