Ellen Minier received her education at East Carolina University and the University of South Alabama. She has over a decade of experience working with both children and adults in a hospital setting; as a fully licensed Nurse Practitioner, her work has included medication management, psychiatric evaluations, and follow-up care. Minier is a strong advocate for ending the social stigma surrounding mental health care treatment. She currently treats all ages at our MindPath Care Centers location in Asheville, NC, where she specializes in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, geriatric care, and substance abuse.
Why did you choose mental health as a career path?
“Mental health care has been my passion since I began nursing as an LPN in 2007. I have pursued mental health as a specialty, working with all age groups while obtaining my advanced degree. I believe mental health is a valuable part of our overall physical health as well.”
