Elena Ollis, MSN, PMHNP-BC, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 12 years of experience across diverse clinical settings. She earned her BSN with a minor in psychology from Seton Hall University and began her career completing skilled nursing home visits before working as a psychiatric RN at Princeton House, an inpatient psychiatric facility. Elena later obtained her master’s degree in nursing with a PMHNP specialty from Rutgers University, the State University of New Jersey.
Over the course of her career, Elena has served in multiple roles, including PMHNP liaison and consultant in nursing care facilities, outpatient private practice clinician, and provider in a nonprofit psychiatric clinic participating in an interdisciplinary NIH initiative focused on early-onset psychosis in adolescents and young adults.
Elena joined Peak Vista in 2019 as the organization’s first PMHNP. Since then, she has made substantial contributions to the growth of behavioral health services — lending her expertise to numerous primary care providers, assisting in the opening of Peak Vista’s first psychiatric health center, serving as a clinical preceptor for PMHNP students, providing didactic education to FNP Fellows, and lecturing at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS). Most recently, she transitioned into her role as Attending Faculty for the PMHNP Fellowship.
Throughout her professional journey, Elena has remained deeply committed to serving underserved populations and expanding access to high-quality mental health care. She utilizes a Rogerian, empathetic listening approach and values evidence-based, shared-decision-making practices that empower patients and honor their lived experiences.
