About Erin Bailey, ARNP

I have been working in the nursing field since 1996 in both acute and outpatient settings. I focus on holistic patient care. I believe the patient needs to be confident in the care he receives in both mind and body and kindness can be the one single ingredient that ensures proper healing. Mental health is an area of expertise I have always been interested in but was not able to pursue right out of college due to a lack of places to work in rural communities. There are deserts of areas out there with no mental health care services. I graduated in May of 2019 with a Master of Science in Nursing and certification as a PMHNP (psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner). My goal is to reach areas that have the least amount of mental health services through telehealth.

“Lauren is terrific. However, the front desk clerks are NOT very pleasant or welcoming. Also, perhaps you need to hire someone to specifically handle both incoming & outgoing phone calls, because having to wait to check in is irritating. But, most importantly, hiring more friendly front desk staff is an ummediate necessity!!!”

“I would recommend Haley for anyone seeking help. I always feel better after spending some time with her. You can tell pretty quickly that she is not there just for a paycheck. Pay checks are nice, but Haley absolutely cares. She listens well and her follow up questions get to issues quickly. I needed a med increase for some high anxiety dental work with the agreement being after the dental I go back. I was very happy about that. i’ve heard horror stories about providers. Haley is awesome!”

“Linsey is so great. We had a wonderful, constructive conversation. She asked a lot of great questions of me, but she was open to questions from me as well. She opened my mind to something regarding my health/challenges that I hadn’t previously thought about. I thought I might have one condition but the conversation with Linsey is leading me down another path. Linsey is very knowledgeable and friendly! I look forward to talking with her again.”
