Erin Bahmer, PMHNP
People heal in relationships. The foundation of Erin’s practice starts with this fundamental belief. Through the therapeutic relationship you and Erin will work towards the goals you have. For many people this includes attaining wellness, creating a quality of life, managing troubling symptoms, and building healthy relationships. The specialized care Erin provides as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner includes medication management, though not always. Often times a blend of psychotherapy, education, medications, and other wellness techniques provide the most benefit, and she is open to hearing and learning from you what you have found to be of benefit for your mental wellness.
Erin is committed to being a lifelong learner, and with the frequent innovations in the field of psychiatry, she plans to bring new knowledge into her sessions with her patients to provide the safest and most effective care. Erin’s undergraduate degree is from the University of Wisconsin Madison, and she received her MSN as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from Drexel University. Erin’s background in healthcare has primarily been working in community mental health settings working with people with serious mental illness, experiences of homelessness and poverty.
Due to this experience, she has a specialized interest in working with people with a history of psychosis/schizophrenia spectrum disorders, histories of trauma and chronic illness. Outside of work, Erin enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, swimming, and listening to podcasts.
