Meet Emily

Emily Anderson grew up in Coeur d’Alene and loves the beautiful Pacific Northwest. She obtained her RN at North Idaho College in 2006 then went on to complete her BSN at Lewis-Clark and graduated summa cum laude with her MSN at Idaho State University in 2010. Throughout her career as a nurse practitioner she worked in family care, emergency medicine, extended care, home health, and as a hospitalist.

 

Although she loved helping patients with diverse medical needs, she felt a deep passion and curiosity for mental health and after working as a nurse practitioner for 13 years, she returned to school and completed her Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) certificate in 2023 from the University of Cincinnati. She graduated summa cum laude and passed the rigorous AANC certification PMHNP exam.

Emily is passionate about treating the whole person and knows that each patient needs treatment tailored to their very unique circumstances. She firmly believes in the patient-provider partnership and strives to ensure her patients feel that they play an active role in their mental health journey.

 

When she isn’t helping patients, Emily loves to hike, paddleboard, mountain bike, trail run, read, garden and spend time with her husband and daughters and their blue heeler, Bonzer.
