Emotional struggles can affect anyone—regardless of background, success, intelligence, or upbringing. If you’ve been navigating depression, anxiety, mood instability, relationship stress, burnout, perfectionism, or simply not feeling like yourself, please know this: you are not alone—and you are in the right place.
At Bloom, we recognize that emotional wellness is deeply connected to physical health. Too often, underlying medical conditions that contribute to mental health symptoms are overlooked. That's why our approach is different—rooted in curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to whole-person care.
At Bloom Wellness & Psychiatry, our mission is to help individuals return to a life that feels enjoyable, connected, and sustainable. We aim to nurture not just the mind, but the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—through integrative, evidence-based psychiatric care. Whether you're seeking clarity, stability, or a renewed sense of self, Bloom offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where healing is possible and hope is restored.

Psychotherapy & Education
As psychiatric nurse practitioners, we have been trained in psychotherapeutic and psychoeducational methods. We offer a blend of different approaches that are tailored to each patient's individual needs in that moment. Some types of therapy we typically engage in are...
Supportive Psychotherapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Attachment Based Therapy
Interpersonal & Person-Centered
Solution Focused Therapy
Trauma Informed Therapy
Our very own Lauren Cone, PMHNP is also certified in Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapy!!!
Here at Bloom, we love educating patients about their diagnosis, treatment options, causes and effects of psychological issues, and ultimately helping them feel empowered to take control of their health!
It’s important to note that psychiatric nurse practitioners are not trained therapists and do not offer psychotherapy to the same extent as licensed professional counselors (LPCs), clinical social workers (LCSWs), or psychologists, unless they have received additional training. We strongly believe in the power of comprehensive care, and many patients find the greatest benefit when working with both a psychiatric provider and a dedicated therapist. We’re always happy to collaborate with your therapist to ensure your care is well-coordinated and aligned with your goals.
Psychiatry
As psychiatric nurse practitioners, we have been trained to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide variety of mental illnesses such as mood disorders, behavioral issues, cognitive changes, and problematic thought processes that one may have developed over their lifetime.
The most common issues treated are anxiety, depression, bipolar/mood disorders, schizophrenia, ADHD, OCD, attachment style issues, stress management issues, and difficult life transitions.
Our providers see adults and children! If necessary, we can prescribe and manage medication under the supervision of a physician.
Wellness
As psychiatric nurse practitioners, we have been trained in symptom assessment, lab ordering and interpretation, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a variety of health conditions. Through these steps, we can identify nutritional deficiencies and other medical conditions, such as hormone imbalances and diabetes, that may be contributing to mental and emotional distress.
We are passionate about this and enjoy implementing functional medicine approaches into our treatment plans when possible.

Eric Aguilar,
MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
My name is Eric Aguilar, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a deep commitment to providing compassionate, evidence-based care across the lifespan. Born and raised in El Paso, Texas, I’ve worked as a nurse since 2012 and earned my Master of Science in Nursing in 2022. Since becoming board certified as a PMHNP, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals navigating a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions.
My journey into mental health care is deeply personal. After losing loved ones to the effects of mental illness, I felt called to be a source of support, healing, and advocacy for others. That experience continues to shape my practice, fueling my commitment to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where patients feel genuinely heard and empowered.
I take a holistic, person-centered approach to care, offering comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and collaborative treatment planning tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. I also believe strongly in the mind-body connection and often incorporate conversations around movement, nutrition, and lifestyle. As an advocate for the therapeutic power of exercise, I believe that sustainable routines can have a meaningful impact on mental wellness.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our poodle-terrier mix, Opie. Whether it’s walking, hiking, or simply relaxing together, I value balance, connection, and authenticity, and I bring those same values into my work with every individual.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and guided toward lasting emotional well-being.

Lauren Cone,
MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Lauren Cone is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to supporting adults as they navigate mental health challenges and discover their own resilience. She has a particular passion for working with young adults who are on the steep learning curve of early adulthood, a time rich with both opportunity and vulnerability.
Lauren’s journey into psychiatric care began in Dripping Springs, Texas, where she worked as an assistant in a psychiatric hospital. That formative experience sparked her commitment to helping others and inspired her to pursue a nursing degree at the University of Texas at Austin. After graduating as a registered nurse, Lauren spent several years caring for trauma patients, an experience she found profoundly enriching and which deepened her understanding of the mind-body connection and the impact of trauma on mental health.
Motivated to expand her skills and serve her patients more comprehensively, she returned to the University of Texas at Austin to earn her Master of Science in Nursing. Since then, she has provided psychiatric care in a range of settings, from community crisis services to outpatient psychiatry.
Lauren is passionate about delivering excellent, evidence-based care and strives to create a therapeutic space that fosters hope, self-awareness, and healing for those ready to engage in the work of recovery.
Outside of her professional life, Lauren enjoys spending time outdoors with her family, hiking, biking, and relaxing with her beloved dog

Amanda Sisul,
MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
My name is Amanda Sisul, and I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a strong passion for whole-person wellness—mind, body, and spirit. I began my nursing career in 2010, working as an ICU and travel nurse for eight years before earning my master’s degree and transitioning into psychiatry in 2018.
Throughout my nursing journey, I’ve witnessed firsthand how deeply connected our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being truly are. I’ve always found that people naturally open up to me, whether at the bedside or in everyday life, and I consider it a privilege to hold space for others with presence, empathy, and care. That gift—along with a deep interest in mental health—ultimately led me to this work.
I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and ongoing care with an emphasis on collaboration, education, and empowerment. I keep my caseload intentionally small so you receive attentive, personalized support. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, attachment wounds, and major life transitions. I’m also passionate about empowering individuals to confidently advocate for themselves and establish healthy boundaries in all areas of life. My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and equipped to move toward healing and wholeness. In addition to patient care, I manage the business and administrative side of Bloom, including billing, insurance, and communication.
Outside of Bloom, I enjoy gardening, working out, continuing functional wellness education, and spending time outdoors with my husband, Beau, and our two dogs, Marly and Lily. We welcomed our first child in August 2025 after a long journey with infertility—an experience that has deepened my gratitude and empathy in this work. My Christian faith shapes my values of compassion, integrity, and hope, which I bring to every interaction while welcoming and respecting people of all backgrounds.
