Christina Cotton, PMHNP, is committed to helping individuals navigate life’s mental health challenges with compassion, clinical expertise, and personalized care. Serving patients across Kentucky, she provides medication management services to adolescents, adults, and seniors, partnering with each person to develop thoughtful treatment plans that align with their goals and lifestyles.

Christina specializes in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma — conditions that often carry a heavy emotional and physical burden. She understands how these concerns can disrupt relationships, work, and personal well-being, and works alongside her patients to ease symptoms and promote emotional resilience. For those seeking a faith-based approach, Christina is pleased to incorporate Christian principles into care, offering a meaningful, integrated treatment experience when desired.

She is particularly passionate about working with individuals on the autism spectrum, those with developmental disabilities, and military veterans. Christina recognizes the unique mental health needs within these communities and is dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized support that honors each person’s experiences and strengths.

Outside of her clinical practice, Christina finds joy in serving in the nursery and children’s ministry at her church and actively participates in community outreach initiatives, especially those aimed at supporting people facing homelessness. Her heart for service complements her professional work, reflecting her commitment to whole-person care.

See what our patients are saying about Christina Cotton

I can't brag on Christina Cotton enough! So glad that our paths crossed at LifeStance. Without a doubt , you can tell she genuinely cares for her patients. She also has ADHD, (not trying to blast your business) and I find some comfort in knowing that she also has lived experience in what I am being treated for. She is very thorough and patient, she doesn't rush in to just rush out. If you're looking for a new Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I highly recommend Christina!
