Hi, I’m erica Winter, PMHNP-BC.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Uplift Psychiatry, PLLC.

I started Uplift because I kept seeing the same problem: people who were clearly struggling couldn’t get in to be seen for weeks — sometimes months. And when they finally did, appointments felt rushed, impersonal, and disconnected from their real lives.

That’s not the kind of care I wanted to provide.

Uplift was built around a simple idea: you should be able to access high-quality psychiatric care quickly, privately, and on your terms — without fighting insurance systems or sitting on a waitlist.

My Approach

Uplift Psychiatry is a small, focused practice by design. To provide access and support sooner rather than later.

Offering private, virtual psychiatry designed to be efficient, personalized, and discreet.

Treatment is never one-size-fits all. Access to your provider is direct-not filtered through the system.

Designed for real life.

Uplift Psychiatry works well for individuals who are ready for a more direct, efficient approach.

Avoid overdiagnosing and overmedicating.

Every decision is intentional-whether that includes medication, lifestyle changes, or simply having the right level of support at the right time.
