Emily Myers PMHNP-BC
Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
Emily is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Penn State University and began her career as a pediatric registered nurse, gaining experience in both medical and psychiatric settings. During that time, she obtained her pediatric nursing certification, which she continues to maintain. Emily later earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Wilkes University, graduating in 2020. Since becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, she has provided care to children, adolescents, and young adults across outpatient, partial hospitalization/day hospital, and inpatient settings.
I chose to pursue a career in medicine, specifically psychiatry, because I fell in love with the opportunity to help and heal others through more than just medical intervention. While medication and evidence-based treatment can be powerful tools, I believe that genuine human connection, compassion, and trust are equally important parts of the healing process. Mental health challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, and I am passionate about creating a space where individuals feel seen, heard, and understood.
When patients come to see me, they can expect professionalism paired with authentic empathy, warmth, and respect. I strive to meet each person exactly where they are in their mental health journey, recognizing that every experience is unique. Rather than standing at the finish line encouraging patients from a distance, I believe in walking alongside them as they navigate challenges, celebrate victories, and work toward meaningful change.
My approach extends beyond the individual to include the relationships and support systems that play an important role in overall well-being. I value collaboration and believe that strengthening these connections can be a vital part of the healing process. Whether someone is seeking support for the first time or continuing a long-standing journey toward wellness, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where growth feels attainable, healing feels possible, and no one feels alone in the process.
