Getting to know Kelly Crenshaw
I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing comprehensive psychiatric care, including evaluations, medication management, and holistic wellness strategies for patients of all ages. I have been a nurse for 18 years and a nurse practitioner for 9 years.
My approach to care is evidence-based and holistic. While medication can be an important part of treatment, I also focus on improving sleep, exercise, nutrition, and other lifestyle factors that support mental health. I believe in the power of positivity and gratitude as tools to help clients move toward becoming the best versions of themselves.
I am passionate about helping clients understand their diagnoses and recognize that a diagnosis does not define who they are. My goal is to provide clarity without labeling someone in a way that limits their identity or potential. I work collaboratively with each client to create an individualized treatment plan designed to achieve meaningful symptom improvement and better daily functioning.
Many of the clients I work with are women navigating anxiety and depression in the midst of parenthood or other major life stressors. I also treat adults with ADHD and have spent significant time studying how ADHD shows up in everyday life — not just clinically, but in relationships, work, and responsibilities. I emphasize coping skills, self-advocacy, and identifying personal strengths as part of the treatment process.
I am committed to building therapeutic relationships grounded in empathy and respect. I enjoy educating clients about their diagnoses and treatment options so we can develop a thoughtful, collaborative plan of care together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I take a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach and want clients to feel comfortable sharing their story at their own pace. I make space for questions and concerns, and I’m flexible in how we work together, meeting people where they are.
I also incorporate diet and lifestyle into care and can integrate a Christian perspective if that’s important to you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I start by listening and understanding each person’s story, then work together to identify goals and next steps. My approach often includes a mix of CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing, along with attention to lifestyle factors like nutrition.
I adjust along the way based on what’s working and what the client needs.

My visits with Kelly Crenshaw are always productive & positive. She knows me very well as I've been a patient of hers for years. I see Kelly every 4-6 weeks. We discuss my medication & she checks to see how things are going in my daily life, including questioning me about symptoms related to bipolar disorder and ADHD.
I think Kelly would have a wonderful rapport with anyone who is lucky enough to have her as a provider. She is always warm & friendly, very professional, & is always available to me. At times, we communicate in the message center on the Advaita website. I am very happy to be working with her as I navigate my life with the mental challenges I have.
Caroline Barndt is my other provider at AIM. She is an excellent therapist. We also have a great rapport. We see each other biweekly. She is very knowledgeable & sometimes recommends outside resources when I express an interest in something we've discussed.
I feel very comfortable talking to Caroline. I can tell her anything.

Ms. Crenshaw is wonderful. It is always a pleasure to speak with her because she is so knowledgeable and helpful. She never brushes off any concerns you might have. I feel fortunate to be able to work with her.

I never feel rushed with Kelly and she truly cares about how I am doing. I have been to doctors that make you feel like you are nothing but a number and you question why you were there in the first place but that is not how I feel with Kelly. She knows when to speak and when to actively listen. She is a great doctor and AIM deserves kudos for finding/employing her!

Kelly Crenshaw is wonderful and I fully trust her. I do not like Advaita's approach to finances and pre-charging for visits. Out of all the medical services I've ever rendered (dentist, PCP, cosmetic dermatology, psychiatric, counseling, etc etc) I have never been billed up front.
