Trilessence

Bridgette Nelson is board certified as an Adult Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Association. She additionally holds a Master’s Degree in Public Health Nursing along with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice.


Her academic career started years ago at the University of Delaware as a biology major with intent of one day becoming a surgeon until her schooling came to a sudden halt following the unexpected death of a mentor. Deciding to change her career focus, she ventured on the path of becoming an attorney. Upon completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from DeSales University, she realized her true calling was healthcare and later went on to earning her Bachelor’s Degree of Nursing from Cedar Crest College, followed by graduate and post graduate studies from LaSalle University and Wilkes University.


Throughout her career she has worked in a variety of specialties including community/ public health, hospice/ palliative care, subacute and long-term care, leadership roles in Medicare Advantage Program initiatives and drug and alcohol with dual diagnoses.

But always wanting to play a personal role in contributing to the next generation of nursing and healthcare, she’s always managed to remain rooted in academia as an adjunct professor with LaSalle University since 2006 and Wilkes University since 2019.


Her treatment style among her patients can best be described as “intimate and personalized” allowing patients to not only feel “listened to”, but where they too actively play a role in their treatment and recovery.


Her creation of TRILESSENCE is a summation of her life’s work in healthcare and academia following her personal motto where “sometimes life is nothing more than a well-tuned balancing act” while all along, taking pride in living what she calls “a purposeful life as a healthcare provider and teacher to those in need”.


The mission and goal of TRILESSENCE is to help patients arrive to a place of emotional wellness leading to an overall sense of emotional well-being.


Bridgette recently opened her second practice location in King Of Prussia, now serving patients in both the State College, PA, and King of Prussia, PA, locations.
