About Us
Resilio Mental Health Solutions serves the community as an ambassador for mental health services. Resilio is a nurse practitioner led private practice that was opened due to the mental health crisis in Chester County, PA. This was related to the increase in local teenage deaths by suicide and the permanent closure of the only psychiatric inpatient hospital in the county. Resilio identified a lack of mental health services primarily for the adolescent populations and Spanish speaking individuals. They focus on a patient centered approach, providing compassionate care in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
Resilio (Latin) verb – Resilience; to rebound; to start over or spring back.
Dragonfly ~ In almost every part of the world, the dragonfly symbolizes transformation, adaptability, and self-realization. It also signifies that change is forthcoming. This can be a personal transformation, a change in a relationship, or a change in an area of your life that can lead to new opportunities.
We chose the name Resilio for our practice, along with our dragonfly logo, as a way to symbolize resilience and the incredible power that each one of us has to overcome adversity. The goal of our practice is to provide psychiatric evaluations, psychiatric medication management, supportive psychotherapy and psychoeducation. Our goal is to de-stigmatize mental illness and promote mental health intelligence and resilience in a safe and supportive environment.
