Shannon Nobles, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC), has joined the brand-new Towanda Laurel Health Center, located at 410 Main St., Suites 101 - 104, in Towanda, PA. She is accepting new patients aged 14 and up at 570-266-5882. 

The growing need for mental health resources across the U.S. inspired her to specialize in providing mental and behavioral healthcare with a goal of providing those services within her own rural community through Laurel Health. Her medical background includes nursing in inpatient, outpatient, telemedicine, and residential care settings. 

She brings 30 years of comprehensive nursing experience to the Towanda Laurel Health Center team. Shannon specializes in treating a wide array of mental / behavioral health conditions, and she is especially passionate about treating trauma. 

“I am passionate about caring for those in need and am committed to eliminating the stigma regarding mental health to assure patients feel comfortable accessing the services they need,” Nobles shares. “What I enjoy most about medicine is helping others and the therapeutic relationships I develop with my clients.”

Nobles provides psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and comprehensive counseling / therapy services. Prior to joining Laurel Health, she provided mental health services with Guthrie, Geisinger, and Northern Tier Counseling.

She received her nursing degree from Arnot Ogden School of Nursing in New York, her Bachelor of Science (BSN) in Nursing from Kaplan University in Georgia, and her Master of Science (MSN) in Nursing from Drexel University in Pennsylvania.

In her free time, she enjoys gardening, reading, attending concerts, and spending time with her husband and two sons.
