Meet the Provider

ERICA LYDEN PMHNP-BC

Hi, nice to meet you! I’m Erica, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 25 years of healthcare experience. I provide care to clients across Pennsylvania, specializing in women’s health, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

My approach to psychiatric evaluation and medication management is warm, patient-centered, and rooted in real connection. I take time to truly listen and understand what each person is going through—not just focusing on symptoms, but on the whole person. I believe in working together to find what feels right, whether that’s exploring medication options, lifestyle changes, or just creating space to be heard. My goal is to make people feel safe, supported, and involved every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy hobbies such as reading, music, crafting, traveling, cooking and spending time with my loved ones.
