Welcome to your healing journey. I'm passionate about holistic care and eager to join you on this path. Let's work together with creativity and compassion to support you in achieving your goals.

Congratulations! Thank you for trusting me to support you on your journey toward enhanced mental health and well-being. My name is Dr. Erica Strother, DNP I am a doctorate-prepared, dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner in Family Health and Psychiatry as well as the founder of, Elysian Integrative Health and Wellness Group. Over 20 years of healthcare experience have fueled my passion for providing compassionate, patient-centered care that promotes overall health, both physical and mental.

My dedication to healthcare was inspired by my grandmother, who worked as a Home Health Aide, and I grew up with a deep appreciation for compassionate care. I began my own journey in healthcare by working as a Home Health Aide, which further fueled my passion for helping others.

My commitment to healthcare also grew when I developed a personal routine to manage the academic and emotional demands of earning two degrees simultaneously from 2 different universities. Ultimately, this dedication led me to complete my terminal degree in nursing as a Doctor of Nursing Practice. Since that time, I have devoted my life and career to supporting individuals in achieving better physical and mental health.

At Elysian Integrative Health and Wellness Group, I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, academic stress for college and graduate students, hormone therapy for men and women, and various other health concerns. I aim to create a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel truly heard. Through a combination of evidence-based medication management and supportive psychotherapy, I personalize each treatment plan to meet your unique needs, guiding you toward better health and resilience.

Hi! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a graduate degree from New York University. I have many years of experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including ADHD, trauma, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and mood disorders.

I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner offering medication management. At this time I offer virtual sessions, with plans to add in‐person appointments in the near future. My approach is shaped by more than a decade of experience working in women's health as a nurse midwife. During that time, I realized how important it is to offer care that truly sees the whole person and honors their full experience. That background taught me how to sit with people in vulnerable moments, listen without rushing, and support them through real-life transitions with steadiness and compassion.
