I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have more than ten years experience providing services to individuals age 4 to 60+, with my primary practice focus working with children and adolescents, young adults, and parents/caregivers. I am a Certified Parent Peer Support Specialist in addition to my clinical licensure. I have experience working with a variety of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, Autism, ADHD, etc. I have also worked with individuals with mild to moderate cognitive disabilities in addition to their mental health diagnoses.
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.
With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, life transitions, chronic illness, trauma (including first responders), aging-related concerns, and members of the agricultural and farming communities.
I provide telehealth services across multiple states, I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and accepted without judgment. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and build the tools you need to create meaningful, lasting change.
I work with those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, grief, self-esteem concerns, and relationship challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by your past, struggling to cope with the present, or trying to build the future you want, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
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.
I hold over five years of experience in mental health and have seen a wide range of ages, diagnoses, cultures, and levels of willingness to change their life circumstances. I provide my clients with the freedom to be who they are and to take off their masks. I have seen and heard almost everything and invite people to be their honest selves with me.
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.
I am also hold a Masters of Science in Oriental medicine. I have a strong medical knowledge and interest in integrating mind body therapies.
I believe we are meant to expand and grow throughout the course of our lives. I enjoy helping others overcome barriers and harness their personal power and strengths, to live quality lives.
As an expert in the trauma field, I offer science backed approaches and treatments. Focusing on your own resiliency and strengths, I treat therapy as a collaborative process.
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.
We all have things we're afraid to talk about, but we also have a lot more control over these fears than we realize. I hope to help you unlock the courage to tackle these fears and take control of them.
I am a LCSW with over 20 years of experience who works with clients as a partner in their healing journey. I have a PhD in Public Affairs with a social work emphasis, and teach issues of ethics, working with complex cases and use of technology. My background is diverse including working in community mental health, hospice and end of life care, oncology and medical issues, as well as working with gender and sexual minorities.
