Provider Bio
Emily Colasante is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Livingston HealthCare. She earned her undergraduate degree from DeSales University and her graduate degree from Vanderbilt University. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, Emily worked for several years as a bedside registered nurse, including travel nursing in emergency departments across the country. These experiences shaped a broad clinical perspective and deep appreciation for the diverse needs of her patients.
Inspired early on by her mother’s work as an emergency room nurse and guided by her deep passion for helping others, Emily developed a strong commitment to patient-centered care through solid clinical foundation and building meaningful connections.
Emily approaches patient care through a trauma-informed lens that prioritizes trust, curiosity, and collaboration. She looks beyond symptoms to understand each patient’s unique story, supporting balance, resilience, and personal growth through individualized care.
Outside of work, Emily enjoys hiking, wildlife photography, spending time with family and friends, and being outdoors with her dog.
