Nurstead Consulting Services started long before the company itself was formed. Nurstead Consulting Services’ history is one of evolution and growth. Started as a small town private practice, as a writer our founder then created a vanity press publishing company in addition, which had two best sellers. In 2016 Senior Lifestyle Dynamics was formed to design and operate senior depression group treatment in Critical Access Hospitals. In January 2018, Nurstead Consulting Services was officially formed and in August 2018, Nurstead Consulting Services and Senior Lifestyle Dynamics merged. 

Combining the successful experiences of professionals from various fields Nurstead Consulting Services became an international consulting firm in core areas; workplace psychology, behavioral health, crisis response, and first responder training, in April of 2018 with our first contract in Europe.

Our crisis response services include a full range of services, spanning from crisis intervention training at the basic and advanced level for law enforcement and first responders, design and planning related to mobile crisis response teams, and consulting with agencies to prepare and prevent crises.  In 2019 we came to the forefront of crisis in many ways contracting for crisis response and critical incident debriefing in the wake of two mass shootings in less than a month in El Paso and Midland, TX.

In 2023 Nurstead began working with and providing training to the US Airforce, Law Enforcement, Corrections, Fire Services, EMS, and many more in New Mexico.  Providing training and direct service throughout New Mexico on a daily basis.  We also continued to grow expanding to add Nurstead Mental Health, our direct treatment section that works with 100s of individuals each year. Since 2023 has expanded to include outpatient and intensive outpatient therapy, transitional and sober living houses, mobile crisis services to 4000 square miles of Eastern New Mexico, and the only 24-hour Drop-In Centers in the State of New Mexico.

Our history has taken us across the country and around the world.
