Welcome! I'm Erica Winter, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Uplift Psychiatry, PLLC.
Before becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I spent several years working as a critical care nurse in the Intensive Care Unit. During that time, I cared for patients facing life-changing illnesses and witnessed how deeply mental health affects every aspect of a person's well-being. Those experiences inspired me to pursue a career in psychiatry, where I could help people find hope, healing, and lasting wellness.
Since 2020, I've worked in outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, and telehealth settings. One thing I've consistently seen is how difficult it can be to access quality mental health care. Many people wait weeks or even months for an appointment, only to feel rushed or unheard during their visit.
I founded Uplift Psychiatry because I believe mental health care should be different.
My approach is centered on listening first. I take the time to understand your concerns, your goals, and the experiences that have shaped your mental health. Every treatment plan is individualized because no two people are the same. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, or another mental health condition, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you move forward with confidence.
Seeking help can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm honored that you're considering Uplift Psychiatry, and I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.
