Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 4.2 mi away • Abilene, TX


Hello- I’m Diana Price, a doctoral-prepared, dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I bring extensive clinical experience in treating individuals across the lifespan, including those with complex trauma, co-occurring conditions, and persistent mental health challenges.

In my practice, I take a comprehensive, person-centered approach to care. I believe that true healing requires attention to the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. This means I look at all aspects of your well-being, not just your symptoms, to develop a holistic treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

As a trauma survivor myself, I deeply understand the challenges of navigating mental and emotional health. This personal experience allows me to offer a high level of empathy and compassion in my work. My patients often share that one of my greatest strengths is my ability to listen without judgment and to offer a space where they feel truly heard. I am committed to creating a safe, respectful environment where you can feel supported and empowered in your healing journey.

Let's be real, sometimes life gets in the way of living! There are just time when life is not always the way we want or thought it would be.

People keep saying that you are so strong, but you don't want to be strong and you definitely don’t feel strong. You know you have people around you that love you and also you feel alone. You want to believe that you’ll find yourself again. If you’re losing hope that you can manage all the things in your life, counseling can help!
