Hi,😊 my name is Lisney Rodriguez, I’m a friendly and approachable Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health care. I specialize in assessing and treating various mental health conditions, offering both therapy and medication management. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered on your journey toward better mental health. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I am best positioned to serve a diverse range of clients, particularly those experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and mood disorders. I work effectively with individuals seeking both medication management and therapeutic support, as well as those navigating complex mental health challenges related to trauma, stress, or life transitions. Additionally, I’m equipped to support clients from various cultural backgrounds, recognizing the importance of individualized care that respects their unique experiences and values. I focus on fostering a collaborative and compassionate environment that empowers clients in their mental health journeys. Treatment philosophy As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my greatest strengths include: 💞 Holistic Approach: I view mental health through a comprehensive lens, considering biological, psychological, and social factors, which allows for more tailored and effective treatment. 👤 Collaboration: I value working collaboratively with clients to develop treatment plans that align with their goals and preferences, empowering them in their mental health journey. 👂 Empathetic Listening: I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood.

My professional career has always centered around mental and behavioral health. I have seen and been a part of amazing community efforts to empower the lives of individuals living with a severe and persistent mental illness. Working as part of the assertive community treatment (ACT) team allowed me to step into the homes of adults diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar I, schizoaffective disorder, substance use disorders, and major depressive disorder. I understand how challenging it is in multiple aspects of life, including maintaining relationships and jobs that are vital. I have also worked in inpatient facilities as a psychiatric registered nurse and have a lot of clinical experience as a psychiatric nurse practitioner assisting children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, conduct disorders, mood disorders, and personality disorders. I know the process is challenging for both the parents and children trying to navigate their diagnosis. But we are not our diagnoses. And, it is okay to reach out for help when needed. I feel confident in assisting those across the lifespan in managing medication that can change this narrative. I will conduct a personalized initial intake, take my time to ask your goals, and begin medication that is right for you.
