Dr. Monica Dyer
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, MPH, FNP, PMHNP
As a Psychiatric-Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, my passion is helping people feel seen, supported, and understood during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. I believe that healing happens through connection, honesty, and safe space, and my goal is to offer care that feels grounded, collaborative, and genuinely human. I am so grateful to work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and many other mental health struggles. I provide both medication management and supportive therapeutic care.
For patients healing from trauma, I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a gentle approach that helps people move forward without being overwhelmed by their past. My background includes street medicine, community health, and international humanitarian work, all of which have shaped my respect for the resilience and complexity of the human experience.
I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.

The Empowering Space PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Compassionate Support for Individuals Living with HIV/AIDS
A diagnosis of HIV/AIDS can bring a range of emotions—fear, uncertainty, stigma, or isolation—but you don’t have to navigate it alone. At The Empowering Space, we provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming environment where you can process your experiences, address emotional challenges, and build a fulfilling life with confidence.
Using trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we help individuals manage anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and self-acceptance. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, living with HIV for years, or struggling with the emotional and social impact of the condition, we’re here to support you in reclaiming your strength, resilience, and well-being.
You are more than a diagnosis. Let’s work together to build a life filled with hope, empowerment, and support.

Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide supplementary mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
