Former ICU nurse — 9 years bedside
Former ICU nurse turned psychologist. I help nurses metabolize the shifts they can't stop replaying and rebuild a career that doesn't cost them their health.
Built for and by nurses
Therapy that gets the night shifts, the codes, and the doom-scroll days — because your therapist has been there too. Real relationships with providers who actually understand nursing.

Three small steps. No essays, no judgment — just the start of a relationship that finally gets it.
A two-minute check-in. No essays, no judgment.
Matched with licensed providers who've worked in healthcare themselves.
Book your first session and keep showing up — for you, this time.
Not a directory of strangers. A practice where the people on the other side of the screen have stood where you stand.
Every therapist has worked in healthcare. They know what a code feels like at 3am.
We only match you with therapists licensed where you practice.
Nights, weekends, post-shift. Appointments that fit a nurse's calendar.
Confidential by design. Nothing flows back to your employer.
Every provider on Nursefully is licensed — and has worked in healthcare themselves. They know the night shifts, the codes, and the weight you carry home.

LCSW
Former ER nurse — 10 years
ER nurse for a decade before I became a therapist. I work best with new grads and anyone questioning whether they can stay in this profession.
PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Former hospice nurse — 7 years
I focus on grief and the cumulative loss nurses carry. We make room for the patients you couldn't save and the version of you that started this work.
My therapist was an ER nurse for a decade. I didn't have to explain why I couldn't stop replaying that shift. She already knew.
Six weeks into orientation I was ready to quit. Nursefully matched me with someone who got it in two minutes. I'm still here.
Booking around night shift was always the reason I never started therapy. The 8pm slots changed that.
Every Nursefully therapist has worked in healthcare — as a nurse, in an ER, or bedside. They understand shift work, moral injury, and the specific weight of caring for patients.
No. Nursefully is private by design. We never share that you're a member, your sessions, or anything you discuss with your employer.
Yes. Therapists offer evening, early-morning, and weekend slots. You filter by what fits your rotation.
Many sessions are covered through your health plan or employer EAP. During the demo, booking is illustrative — no payment is taken.
We're live in 12 states and adding more each month. If we're not in yours yet, join the waitlist and we'll prioritize it.
Two minutes to tell us about your shifts. The rest is a relationship that finally gets it.
