COLLABORATIVE PHYSICIAN
Cindy Shields, MSN, PMHNP-BC
Welcome! Creating an environment that allows mental health professionals to be creative in our practice has been a long-term goal that I’m excited to have reached. I’m a dual-certified psychiatric (PMHNP-BC) and Adult-Gero Primary Care (NP-C) nurse practitioner with 17 years of experience across a variety of healthcare settings. My clinical education includes a Master of Science in Nursing and post-graduate certificate from the University of Michigan-Flint. I also obtained a Masters in Health Administration from Ohio University.
Through my practice in behavioral health I’ve realized the importance of using an integrative care model to treat mental health conditions. I completed the Nutritional Psychiatry program through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute and an am currently enrolled in the Psychiatry Redefined Integrative Psychiatry Fellowship.
I believe that correcting root causes of mental illness leads to better outcomes for clients. My approach combines traditional psychiatric care with functional medicine principals, including nutrition, lifestyle and behavioral interventions. I meet each client where they are in their journey and value my role in helping clients feel heard, validated and empowered to reach their goals. Project Wellness was founded to allow myself and like-minded clinicians to devote the time and resources needed to help our clients realize optimal wellness.

Renee Utsler, MSN, PMHNP-BC
Hello, and welcome! I began my journey to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in 2013, working as a clinical nurse in diverse healthcare settings where I quickly discovered my passion for psychiatric mental health.
My goal is to provide comprehensive care that honors the complexity of your life and helps you develop a plan that’s both realistic and sustainable. I believe each person is unique and deserves personalized care tailored to their specific needs. Joining the team at Project Wellness has rekindled my excitement about the powerful connection between nutrition and mental well-being.
I know that sharing your deepest thoughts and feelings can feel incredibly uncomfortable and vulnerable. That’s why I’m committed to creating a safe, judgment-free space—one built on transparency and education. I look forward to working together on your unique goals.

Hello and welcome! I’m a licensed mental health therapist invested in helping others achieve their goals to become their best and most authentic selves. Since earning my master’s degree in social work from Wayne State University, I’ve worked in both community mental health and outpatient settings, specializing in treating individuals with mood disorders, personality disorders, substance use disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and helping those navigating grief and loss.
My therapeutic approach involves meeting clients where they are, encouraging growth through understanding each individual’s unique history, experiences and strengths while guiding them to develop healthy skills and outcomes.
I believe everyone has the power to overcome obstacles with courage and perseverance. I am especially excited to be involved in the creative therapy approach offered at Project Wellness and look forward to being part of your journey!
THERAPY
Kathleen Mousseau, LPC, CAADC
Hello and welcome! Do you feel alone and depressed? Are you anxious and overwhelmed? Have you been struggling with substance abuse and don't know where to turn? Have you tried the 12 step groups but they don't work for you? Are you looking for a creative approach to feeling whole again? I understand what you're going through and am ready to help you work through your issues and achieve your goals.
I have been an artist all my life and love to share creative, mindful therapies. I have been working in substance abuse for most of my career, and am especially versed in therapies other than those that use a 12 step approach. I lean toward a Buddhist and Agnostic approach to recovery from addictions of all kinds.
