I’m Emilienne Felix, MSN, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing experience.
I provide compassionate, personalized mental health care through telehealth, working with adults facing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, addiction, and life transitions. I understand that mental health and substance use often go hand in hand, and you don’t have to navigate either alone. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes.
First session
In our first session, you can expect a warm, supportive conversation focused on getting to know you as a whole person, not just your symptoms. We will talk about what brought you in, your current challenges, your mental health and substance use history, and what you hope to achieve. I will ask thoughtful questions to better understand how you’re feeling emotionally, physically, and socially. Together, we will begin building a care plan tailored to your needs, which may include therapy, medication management, or both.
Strengths
My approach is rooted in nonjudgmental listening, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals in recovery or those considering change, using a harm-reduction and strengths-based approach to meet you where you are. One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to listen with empathy and without judgment. Clients often share that they feel genuinely seen and understood in our sessions. With over 15 years of nursing experience, I bring both strong clinical expertise and deep compassion to every interaction. I am patient, thorough, and committed to supporting you at your pace—whether you are navigating a crisis, working toward sobriety, or taking small but important steps toward healing.
Ideal clients
I serve adults struggling with anxiety, depression, mood instability, trauma, stress, life transitions, and substance use concerns. I am best positioned to support clients who want compassionate, nonjudgmental care and are ready to better understand their mental health, reduce symptoms, and build healthier coping strategies. My goal is to help clients feel heard, supported, and empowered as they work toward emotional wellness and greater stability.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. I’ve found it especially helpful for treating anxiety, depression, and negative thinking patterns. In sessions, I work with clients to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced, realistic ones. We also practice coping skills and behavior changes that support long-term progress. I like that CBT gives people practical tools they can use in everyday life. Whether we’re working on managing stress or improving self-esteem, I tailor CBT to each client’s unique needs and pace.
