I believe the best mental health care begins with trust, compassion, and open communication. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences without fear of judgment.

I understand that reaching out for help isn't always easy, and I strive to meet each person where they are. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, life transitions, trauma, ADHD, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we'll work together to develop a treatment plan that fits your goals, values, and lifestyle.

I take a collaborative approach to care, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, education, and practical coping strategies. I want my clients to understand not only what we're treating but why certain treatments may be beneficial, so they feel informed and involved in every decision.

With years of experience in psychiatric care across inpatient and outpatient settings, I've worked with individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges. I believe healing isn't about being perfect—it's about making meaningful progress, building resilience, and finding balance in everyday life.

My hope is that every client leaves our appointments feeling heard, respected, and supported.

My practice is a good fit for clients who are looking for:

  • Compassionate, nonjudgmental care
  • Medication management with education and shared decision-making
  • Practical tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning
  • A provider who listens and works collaboratively
  • Long-term support focused on sustainable mental wellness

I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.

I’m Erin, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Solace Mind and Wellness, PLLC. I believe mental health care should feel thoughtful, collaborative, and individualized. Mental wellness is influenced by many factors including biology, lifestyle, environment, stress, and life experiences. Treatment should reflect the whole person, not just a diagnosis. Through my tele psychiatry practice, I provide evidence-based psychiatric care for adults and adolescents across Arizona in a calm, supportive, and private setting. I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety, depression, and SMI.

I get it—feeling stuck in the same old patterns, craving deeper connections, and wondering how to even begin to break free can be exhausting. If you’re anything like the people I work with (and honestly, like I once was myself), you’ve probably spent a lot of time thinking, “Something has to change... but what?” That’s where I come in.

Sometimes your mind understands what’s happened, but your body still holds the impact. I’m trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, approaches that help gently process those deeper layers. My work integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness to support nervous system regulation, so change doesn’t just feel intellectual, it feels real, grounded, and lasting.

Deborah Roach

Therapist

Loving someone who struggles with addiction can quietly take over your whole life. You worry constantly, you smooth things over, you set a boundary and then talk yourself right out of it, and somewhere along the way you lose track of your own needs. If that's you, I understand it in a way that goes beyond training. Alongside my years as a counselor, I've spent more than two decades in the Al-Anon community, and I work with adults who are worn down from caring for, worrying about, or trying to fix someone they love. You don't have to keep carrying it alone.
