Emily Epstein

Clinical Focus: Adolescents, Young Adults, and Adults

Emily is a certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with six years of experience as an advanced-practice nurse and prior experience as a direct support professional and acute psychiatric nurse. Emily takes an integrative, trauma-informed person-centered approach to psychiatry. She believes that helping people achieve optimal mental health requires much more than just psychiatric medications to reduce symptoms. It also requires holding compassionate space, addressing root-cause and other associated factors, focusing on what’s meaningful, and empowering people to actively engage in their mental health recovery. Emily is compassionate, creative and kind. She values relationships above all else, and believes they are key to successful mental health recovery. Emily lives with her husband Kyle, their toddler Elsie, and Australian Cattle Dog “Alo” in Durango Colorado where she enjoys playing in the mountains. She feels so lucky to call Durango her home.
