My name is Erika Cortes, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a holistic approach to care. My background as a family nurse practitioner, hospitalist, and geriatric rehab provider allows me to see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. I hold master’s degrees from Purdue University and Florida State University. I believe in integrating lifestyle changes—such as vitamins, supplements, exercise, and journaling—alongside medication when appropriate. I also support safe medication discontinuation with a structured plan. Every visit is personal, and honesty is encouraged, but if you ever feel uncomfortable, please let me know—I respect your privacy. Even the smallest details help me tailor your care. This is a judgment-free zone where we work together to overcome obstacles and create a plan that fits you.
“I moved to Florida a couple months ago and needed to find a new provider. I called a few providers prior to finding Erika, and felt that I was being judge for the medication I take. I am so happy and relieved that I found Erika. She provided a safe and welcoming environment for me. I felt heard and understood. Erika takes a holistic approach in her care. She educates you on your medication and different lifestyle changes to get the best benefit of care. I am grateful to find Erika 🙏🏼🫶🏼💕”

Have you found yourself overwhelmed after taking care of everything and everyone else's needs instead of your own? Do you feel frustrated trying to balance your life and relationships with work and other important obligations even before Covid -19? Have you began to feel nothing you do is ever good enough? Has this imbalance in your life started to cause you to have poor sleep, anxiety, depression or even overuse of alcohol and substances? If so, you are not alone and I can help? You'll receive an empathetic session where we will work together finding healthy options to address your concerns. I'm a board certified psychiatrist which means that in addition to formulating a diagnosis or providing therapy, I can also prescribe medications to treat multiple conditions including substance abuse. As a medical doctor, I'm able to consider whether a medical condition is likely responsible for your symptoms. All appointments are being offered through a Hippa compliant private video session.
In my practice, I prioritize patient-centered care by incorporating supportive treatment methods alongside conventional medical approaches. This includes:
Building rapport and understanding patient needs.
Providing comprehensive information (psychoeducation) about conditions and treatments.
Managing symptoms effectively through medications and complementary therapies.
Offering emotional support and counseling.
Advising on nutrition and dietary plans.
Encouraging self-care practices like exercise and stress management.
Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team for comprehensive care.
This approach ensures holistic care, addressing physical, emotional, and social aspects of health to optimize patient outcomes and quality of life.
Hello! I'm Andrea, born and raised in the vibrant city of Tampa, Florida. As the oldest in a large family, early on, I was witness to the intricacies of mental health both within my family and in the broader community. This exposure instilled in me a deep-seated passion for understanding the human mind and helping individuals navigate their challenges.
Over the years, I've armed myself with academic and practical knowledge. I am proud to hold a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, supplemented with advanced training in integrated health care practices. I'm also a licensed clinical mental health counselor in Florida, and I provide coaching services both domestically and internationally. Currently, I'm broadening my horizons further with an MBA at the University of California, Los Angeles.
In 2020, I founded Dreavita. What began as a private practice quickly transformed into a beacon of hope and healing in the mental health space. My work in telehealth since 2021 has opened new avenues to reach and support those in need, which prompted me to step away from a telehealth directing position recently to focus solely on Dreavita.
The accolades I've received, including the Orlando Woman of the Year in 2021 and Los Angeles Woman of the Year in 2022, are testaments to our collective efforts at Dreavita. But beyond these awards, my vision for Dreavita remains clear: to offer progressive, inclusive wellness services that foster emotional healing and a deep sense of belonging.
