Hi, I’m Emily Markey, PA-C, MSPAC.

Many of the people who come to see me aren’t just looking for quick symptom relief. They’re often feeling anxious, depressed, burned out, or simply not like themselves anymore—and they want to understand why.
My ideal client is someone who’s curious about the bigger picture of their mental health. Someone who values a thoughtful, collaborative approach and wants care that looks at more than just symptoms. Things like sleep, stress, relationships, work, and physical health all play a role in how we feel.

As a psychiatric provider, I can prescribe medication—but that doesn’t mean medication is always the right answer. My approach is to look at the whole person and work together to figure out what makes the most sense for you. That might include medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, supplements, or referrals to other specialists when helpful.

Reaching out doesn’t mean you’ve committed to a specific treatment. It simply opens the door to a conversation.
If you’ve ever felt unheard, rushed, or unsure where to begin, we can start by slowing down and talking through what’s been going on and what feels right for you.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.
