Erica Cook, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) providing psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and adults ages 8 and older, both in person and via telehealth. My goal is to help clients feel heard, supported, and actively involved in their care. I take a thoughtful, collaborative approach to treatment, working with each individual to understand their symptoms, treatment history, and goals and develop a plan that fits their unique needs.
​
With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I have worked in long-term care, acute care, and inpatient mental health settings. It was during my years working in an inpatient psychiatric hospital that I discovered my passion for supporting individuals facing mental health challenges. That passion led me to continue my education and ultimately become an Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner specializing in psychiatric mental health care.​
​At Center for Personal Wellness, I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management and may incorporate additional treatment options, including genetic testing and SPRAVATO® treatment, when clinically appropriate. I value education and open communication and want clients to understand their treatment options, feel comfortable asking questions, and feel confident in the decisions we make together.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and recently completed my Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in Psychiatric Mental Health from Northern Kentucky University. I am currently enrolled in Northern Kentucky University’s post-master’s FNP certificate program. As a member of the American Nurses Association, I stay up to date on the latest research and best practices in the field.
​
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my dog, Penny, attending Cincinnati Reds games, and listening to live music with family and friends.

Even small steps can lead to significant change. Progress may be slow at times, but steady effort brings lasting results.
