I implement a strengths-based perspective methodology. This means I take a holistic and individualistic approach by working through your personal history, environment, lifestyle, and spirituality. Your past is not indicative of your future. Everyone has a personal story that needs to be heard; therefore, I hope to build a partnership that's rooted in a judgment-free environment.

Dr. Erica Strother

Dr. Erica Strother

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New York


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.
