For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
I’d tell them that therapy is a safe and supportive space designed to help them explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors without judgment. It’s a collaborative process, and you don’t have to go through it alone. Therapy isn’t about fixing anyone, but about understanding yourself better and learning tools to manage life’s challenges more effectively. It’s natural to feel hesitant, but taking the first step can be incredibly empowering, and the benefits far outweigh the initial discomfort.
My name is Solomon Abebe, and I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective healthcare. I currently work as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) at Cape Side Health, a role I've held since June 2023. My journey in healthcare includes varied experiences across hospitals in Georgia, from working as a travel RN at Northside Hospital to supporting patients in critical care at Grady Memorial Hospital. Throughout my career, I have been committed to recording vital patient information, addressing any issues promptly, and delivering comprehensive bedside care. My background also includes time with Emory and Piedmont hospitals, where I honed my skills in diverse medical settings. I hold a degree from Georgia State University and continue to stay updated with the latest in healthcare to ensure my patients receive top-notch care. My focus is on making my patients feel heard, safe, and well-cared for in their healthcare journey.

Therapy is a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. It’s an investment in your well-being, and I am here to support you at every step. Taking that first step can lead to growth and healing.
I am a dedicated Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a deep passion for strengthening mental health across diverse communities and advocating for lifelong learning and growth. I have experience treating a wide range of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, sleep disorders, and substance use disorders. With a background in treating individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients—I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including inpatient wards, outpatient clinics, telehealth, and crisis centers. Growing up in the countryside, I understand the value of community and the unique challenges rural areas face in accessing quality healthcare. My upbringing taught me the importance of hard work, empathy, and family—values I bring into my practice every day. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring nature through hiking, and staying active to maintain my own mental and physical health. My mission extends beyond the clinical setting. I am committed to connecting with individuals in rural communities and beyond, especially those who face barriers in accessing mental health services. Through the convenience of telehealth, I strive to break down those barriers, offering support to anyone on their path toward mental wellness, regardless of their location. I hope that through my practice, you'll feel the commitment and care I bring to each encounter. Your mental health journey is valued and supported every step of the way as we work together towards healing and growth.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
I have worked in the medical field for thirty-three years, and during that time I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy. I've seen the benefits in everything from medical records to eating disorder treatment and violence prevention. I have a varied background and have led the Ramsey County Sexual Assault Protocol Team, which speaks to my dedication to creating welcoming and sensitive environments. After completing my master's degree in counseling and psychological services, I went into nursing with a focus on a comprehensive strategy. I collaborate with clients in my present practice utilizing a person-centered approach, appreciating their mental and physical well-being. Therapy offers a customized journey where your beliefs and values are central to the process, making it a brave step towards personal growth.
I have accumulated over 33 years of experience in the healthcare field, starting in medical records and later transitioning into the insurance sector. Subsequently, I assumed the role of Violence Prevention Coordinator/Facilitator, where I educated healthcare professionals on assisting individuals facing sexual or physical assault. During this time, I also led the Ramsey County Sexual Assault Protocol Team, bringing together a multidisciplinary group in the Saint Paul area to create victim-sensitive protocols for survivors of sexual assault. Concurrently, I pursued and completed a master's degree in Counseling and Psychological Services. Opting for a different path than a PsyD, I entered the field of Nursing. For 14 years, I dedicated my efforts to working with individuals dealing with eating disorders, finding immense fulfillment in this area. In May 2022, I accomplished my PMHNP from the University of North Dakota and subsequently worked at a psychiatric clinic in the Fargo Moorhead area for about a year before deciding to establish my private practice. In my current practice, I collaborate with clients using a holistic and person-centered approach to help them achieve their treatment goals. I possess a sincere compassion for individuals across the lifespan grappling with mental illness. I strongly believe that both physical and mental health are integral components of optimal well-being. Within my therapeutic approach, I prioritize integrating clients' beliefs, traditions, and values into the treatment plan, acknowledging the profound significance of these elements in the therapeutic process. *Specialties •Mental Health •Psychiatry •Psychotherapy •Child Psychiatry •Preventive Medicine •Medication Management •Evaluations •Assessments •Treatment planning •Adolescents •Adults •Geriatric *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •PTSD •ADHD •Eating disorders •Relationship issues •Mood disorders •Substance abuse •Personality disorders •Anxiety disorders •Trauma and PTSD •Pediatric Psychiatry •Counseling •Autism •Behavioral issues •Emotional trauma •Anger Management •Grief and Loss •Lifestyle counseling •Weight management •Sleep problems •Insomnia •Schizophrenia •Addiction •Panic attacks •Geriatric Psychiatry •Substance use disorder •Personality disorder •Preventive care education *Treatment philosophy Nicole works collaboratively with her clients using a holistic and person-centered approach to meet their treatment goals.
