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.

Supporting Children & Teens Through Life’s Challenges
Growing up comes with unique challenges, and sometimes kids and teens need extra support to navigate emotions, relationships, and life transitions. At The Empowering Space, we provide a safe, understanding, and judgment-free environment where young people can express themselves, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills. Our therapists specialize in working with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, peer relationships, school stress, self-esteem, and family dynamics.
Using age-appropriate, evidence-based approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy techniques, and mindfulness, we help kids and teens develop emotional awareness, problem-solving skills, and confidence. We also collaborate with parents to provide guidance and tools to support their child’s well-being at home.
Every child deserves to feel heard, supported, and empowered. Let’s help them thrive.
