Hi! My name is Dr. Andrea Nelsen and I am an aviation psychiatrist. I work with aviators, student pilots, air traffic controllers, flight attendants, and astronauts. I perform FAA-approved psychiatric evaluations and guide aviators through the medical certification process. My philosophy centers around putting aviators first, and helping each client understand and accomplish everything they need from a mental health perspective so that they can reach their aviation goals. I have offices in Hawaii and Minnesota and I also see pilots virtually from many other states.

I also provide ongoing mental health and wellness services to members of the aviation community, including management of FAA-regulated medications such as SSRIs, and I am available to help passengers with flight anxiety and phobias.

I’m also a student pilot myself! My interests in aviation focus around vintage planes and aerobatics.
