Erin DiCiolla
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
I am a passionate and compassionate psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, desiring to meet each person where they are with empathy and unconditional acceptance in a safe, secure, trusting, and supportive environment that invites honesty, growth, learning, and exploration. My greatest joy is supporting, encouraging, witnessing, and celebrating others as they become who God created them to be.
I practice relationship-based, recovery-oriented, and psychodynamic-informed care. More simply stated, I believe recovery is possible and there is power in relationship as a vehicle for healing. Becoming more aware of how our past experiences are connected to our current situation and mindset can unlock potential for change and move us from a place of surviving to truly thriving.
My spiritual gifts are encouragement, helping, mercy, service, and discernment. I am a wife and stepmother. I enjoy reading, deep conversations, crocheting, exercising, playing piano, hunting, fishing, and spending time with family and close friends.
