Emily Prahl

Hello, I’m Emily Prahl, a dual certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner at Monarch. I provide psychiatric care across the lifespan and especially enjoy working with children, adolescents and young adults.

My background includes pediatric nursing, primary care and outpatient psychiatry. These experiences have shaped my practical, compassionate and whole-person approach to care. I believe effective treatment begins with a strong working relationship and a thoughtful plan that reflects each patient’s needs, goals, daily life, and abilities.

My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental and trauma-informed. I use evidence-based care and motivational interviewing to help patients feel supported, heard and actively involved in their treatment decisions. Medication can be an important tool, but care should be individualized and developed together. I value patient autonomy while also prioritizing safety, and I hope to create an open, supportive space where patients can feel hopeful about their future.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and young daughter.  I also enjoy reading, knitting and gardening.
