Lumen Telepsych
Virtual Psychiatry for Washington & Tennessee
Bring back your sparkle.
Psychiatric Care That Actually Feels Human.
You're living through a season most people can't understand. Here, you don't have to translate it — just say it your way.
Lumen Telepsych is a virtual psychiatric practice operated by an experienced psychiatric nurse practitioner. We serve patients across Washington and Tennessee with thoughtful medication management and lifestyle planning for ages 6 to 106 — in a space that feels less like an appointment and more like a real conversation. Care is collaborative, intuitive, and grounded in years of clinical experience across the full lifespan and acuity spectrum. That experience spans inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, crisis intervention, emergency room, forensic, detox, mood disorder, co-occurring disorder, adolescent, geriatric, and community-based settings. That breadth ensures a strong clinical foundation and a real comfort with whatever you bring to the table.
Care that meets you where you are.
Lifespan Psychiatry
A genuine commitment to walking with patients through every stage of life — meeting each person where they are, with care that grows alongside them from their earliest years through every chapter ahead.
ServicesCollaborative Medication Management
Treatment plans aren't ordered for you — they're built side-by-side. Your goals lead. Brilliant clinical instinct fills in the map. Every decision is made with you, not for you.
Med ManagementFlexible Support for Real Life
Life is already demanding. Mental health care shouldn't add to it. Parked car, couch, bed, closet corner — if it's got Wi-Fi, it counts. Direct provider access between visits. Same Chelsea every time.
You are the main character.
Casual on the surface, serious about the work underneath. Patient comfort during the conversation is the priority — it's safe to put it down here. That's where the real treatment begins: warmth, humor, and accountability, with the reminder that you are so much more capable than you believe.
Support for every season of life.
These are some of the things people come to Lumen for — but this is not the full list. If what you're carrying isn't here, please still reach out. Care is offered to anyone willing to ask for it. A complex history is not a barrier — it's often exactly the reason to reach out.
The clinician your friends keep talking about.

Psychiatric Medication Management
Chelsea brings over a decade of experience across ER and psychiatric settings, and has cared for patients professionally since age 15 — starting as a nursing assistant, becoming a registered nurse at 20, and ultimately fulfilling her dream of becoming a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner to offer the kind of care she consistently observed to be missing. Whatever brought you here today is welcome.
"Come as you are—no version of you is too much or not enough here."
Outside of caring for patients, Chelsea has an equally long history of animal rescue — fostering stray, abandoned, abused, and neglected animals and helping coordinate feral cat trap/neuter/release programs with local animal super-heroes. She also loves houseplants, thunderstorms, anything coffee flavored, all things pink, and loud 2000s hip hop for every occasion.
Bringing back your sparkle is what gets her out of bed in the morning. Watching patients reconnect with the version of themselves they were starting to miss — that's the whole point. Your light is worth protecting, and she's honored to help you do it.
Simple from day one.

"Chelsea is amazing! She took the time to really listen and made me feel seen and understood. I love her vibe. Relatable and easy to talk to — the whole experience felt safe and supportive."

"Name one other doctor that they let you text them? She will literally send you a meme as a reply and it will answer your question and make you laugh. You will never feel silly for the questions that you have."

Verified patient
"I came to her honestly a total insufferable wreck. She could have sent me inpatient but she was comfortable working with me in another way, and to this day I am doing much better only because of what she did."
TH
Verified patient
"It was comforting to talk with a professional who doesn't talk and act like a robot. Felt like I was talking to a friend with great advice!"
Jacob M.
Verified patient
"I felt value, I felt like Chelsea understood me and helped me come up with a plan. I'm looking forward to our next session."
Evelyn G.
Verified patient
"Chelsea is my hero in scrubs. Thank you for coming up with suggestions that I could actually do, and making a plan with me that I can follow. No-one else has ever done that for me."
