Hello, I’m Liz Comstock, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner committed to providing specialized mental health care for those who serve the public. With over 10 years of critical care nursing experience in top East Coast hospitals—including 4.5 years in DC’s leading trauma and burn resuscitation unit—I’ve worked closely with healthcare professionals, emergency responders, military personnel, and law enforcement officers. Through these experiences, I have gained firsthand insight into the immense pressures and emotional burdens faced by those in public service. I understand the unique challenges of maintaining mental health while working in high-stress, high-stakes environments. That’s why I provide personalized, stigma-free psychiatric care that prioritizes both symptom relief and professional functionality. My goal is to create a safe, confidential space where those who dedicate their lives to others can prioritize their own mental well-being. Whether you’re struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, or the emotional toll of your profession, I am here to help. Together, we will develop a treatment plan that fits your needs—one that supports both your personal well-being and your professional responsibilities. Treatment Philosophy: I believe that mental health care for public servants should be accessible, stigma-free, and tailored to the unique pressures of their roles. My approach integrates evidence-based treatments with a deep understanding of public service culture, ensuring that care supports both emotional well-being and professional functionality. I create a judgment-free space where healthcare professionals, military personnel, law enforcement, and first responders can seek support without fear, allowing them to regain balance, resilience, and fulfillment.
