Welcome! I'm Nagavalli Thiruvalluvan, your dedicated Nurse Practitioner with a heart for providing compassionate and high-quality care to adults and seniors. With a rich background that spans across various healthcare settings since 2013, I bring a wealth of experience in skilled nursing, long-term care, rehab medicine, and outpatient primary care. Before stepping into the nurse practitioner role, I honed my skills for 14 years in hospital nursing across different specialties. I also care for my patients by providing weight loss management, offering preventative care through education and counseling, and following evidence-based guidelines.

What should people thinking about working with you, know about you?
I prioritize holistic and integrative care, focusing on treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms. My goal is to empower children and adolescents with tools for resilience and strength, balancing medication with nutrition, lifestyle coaching, and coping skill development.

Hello, I’m Ashley Collins. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I offer holistic mental health care for children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My approach combines therapy, lifestyle changes, and nutrition to foster resilience and help each child face challenges with strength. I am especially experienced in supporting children affected by trauma and working with military families navigating the stresses of military life. My care philosophy is rooted in finding and addressing the root causes, not just managing symptoms, and I use parent coaching, nutraceuticals, and metabolic health assessments to support lasting well-being. As a mother of two with personal experience in anxiety and ADHD, I understand the complexities families face. If you’re seeking a practitioner who prioritizes listening, empathy, and personalized care, let’s explore how we can work together to help your child thrive. I’m currently accepting new telehealth patients in Ohio and Oregon. Treatment philosophy: My philosophy centers on holistic care—addressing the whole child rather than just symptoms. Traditional psychiatry often focuses narrowly on managing symptoms, while I integrate nutrition, lifestyle, and therapeutic interventions to uncover and treat root causes. This approach fosters resilience and a healthier mind and body, reducing the need for medication where possible. My goal is to build lasting well-being through individualized, compassionate care.
