I’m a therapist who creates a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your full, authentic self. I believe healing happens when we feel seen, heard, and challenged in a supportive way. I work with individuals and couples to navigate anxiety, relationship struggles, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach blends evidence-based practices with real, honest conversation. I will help you build practical tools, increase self-awareness, and take accountability—while also giving yourself grace. My goal is to help you not just cope, but truly grow and feel empowered in your life.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Tennessee


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.

Samantha Acosta

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Tennessee. I am also licensed in the states of UT and NE. I have been in practice for 15 years. I love working with clients who are genuinely seeking therapy for their own growth and awareness. I enjoy helping clients who want to take a deeper look at behaviors and relationships in their lives that could be modified and or improved. I started my career in community mental health working with individuals who were suffering from addiction, childhood trauma, family conflict, and faith crisis. I feel like I have learned the true impact addiction, poverty, trauma, and abuse can have on an individual and family system. This has helped me create space for clients to feel safe, heard, valued, and respected in our sessions. I look forward to meeting you!

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.
