Welcome! My name is Emily Palacio. I am bilingual. I speak English and Spanish. I am dually board certified as a doctoral-prepared psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and a family nurse practitioner in California. I have been in the medical field for over 20 years. I have 4 years of medication management experience and 1 year of experience in therapy training. I was an emergency department nurse for 17 years and have been practicing as a family nurse practitioner at Kaiser Permanente in family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, and dermatology specialties. My well-rounded experience helps me to provide holistic care to clients in psychiatry now. I believe clients prosper when their entire being is considered. The mind, body, and spirit function in better harmony when all aspects are addressed. I embrace my multicultural heritage and I feel diversity is beautiful. I love to empower my clients to reach their full potential and I respect that everyone has unique needs and preferences. My eclectic approach to mental health provides a variety that everyone can benefit from receiving.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will provide an opportunity to get to know each other and to ensure I am a good fit for you. I make it a point to prioritize your treatment goals and will make an assessment of what you feel is most important. I always try to leave you with something positive to work on in between our sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My healthcare experience of over 20 years has helped me to become a strong, safe, and competent provider. I love working with people and I enjoy being part of your journey. Clients have told me they can feel that I care about them and they appreciate me explaining things to them in a way they can understand. I believe my greatest strength is the fact that I am humble, non-judgmental, and interested in helping you to grow as a person. I come from very humble beginnings and I never forget where I came from. I believe we are partners in your care. My clients are very important to me.
