Dr. Nelsen started working with airline pilots in her private practice over ten years ago. She now works almost exclusively with aviators, who come from all walks of life. She sees student pilots, commercial pilots, airline pilots, recreational fliers, and air traffic controllers. She also works with flight attendants, women aviators, and with veterans who are making a transition into civilian aviation.

Dr. Nelsen offers a nationwide service and is one of only a handful of psychiatrists with the expertise required to help aviators with all types of mental health and substance-related concerns. She prides herself on offering the highest quality services to all of her clients. She knows how the medical certification process works and stays up-to-date on FAA requirements. She will give you honest feedback about your situation and is happy to coordinate with your AME or other representatives.

Her greatest joy is helping her clients build a reliable roadmap to medical certification. She loves hearing from former clients who are now in the air!
