Psychiatric Mental Health NP

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.

Peggy Olson

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Do you feel taken advantage of and like no matter what you do, you can't win? Are you a victim of emotional, verbal or physical abuse? Do you love someone who is caught up in the pain of addiction or mental illness? Have you tried everything you can think of but have no idea how to help or what else to do? Are you afraid your partner, spouse, adult child or other loved one will end up in jail, or worse? I get it. Maybe you're just mad. Maybe you're tired of having to handle everything yourself. I get that too.

Hi, I'm Elisa Gitan, a therapist and acupuncturist based out of Nashville, TN. I completed my degree at University of Denver, followed by specialized training in forensics and trauma. I studied with Dr. Robert Hare, the expert in psychopaths which inspired me to work with trauma victims.

Marie Stanley

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, it’s Marie. I’m here to help. I understand the vulnerability of what it is like to face new challenges whether it be personal or professional. As a military spouse and clinician, I’ve had my share of this cycle over the past 20 years. My journey has been both challenging and remarkably rewarding. I welcomed both whole-heartedly because they each helped my growth as a person, a wife, parent, friend, colleague, and in my profession.

For a total of 8 years, I’ve been happy to educate and assist my clients with eliminating unhealthy patterns, alleviating daily life stressors, enhancing emotional regulation, improving self-worth, navigating complexities of intimate partner/domestic abuse, family and other relationship dynamics, and trauma (I completed EMDR basic training in 2026, which offers me an additional trauma-informed orientation). I utilize integrated evidenced based approaches in my work.

Taking the initial step to participate in therapy may take all the courage and motivation you have within you. Let’s start there, and we will work together to navigate the landing to a space of what I call R.E.S.T. (Restoration, Empowerment, Stability, Tranquility) for you.
