Dr. Lisa Merritt

Dr. Lisa Merritt

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Princeton, PA


am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, substance use disorders, and other mental health concerns. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive, skills-based psychotherapy, with treatment tailored to each patient's age, circumstances, symptoms, and goals.

My clinical background includes extensive work in outpatient psychiatry, behavioral health systems, detoxification and dual-diagnosis programs, and community-based mental health organizations. This experience has allowed me to work with individuals across the lifespan and with a wide range of needs, from patients seeking help with anxiety, depression, or ADHD to those managing trauma, substance use, or more complex mental health conditions. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree with advanced training in psychiatric mental health. In addition to my direct clinical work, I have served as Chief Nurse Executive for a large behavioral health organization, where I oversaw integrated mental health, addiction treatment, and community-care programs. Working at both the patient and organizational levels has given me a broad perspective on mental health care and reinforced the importance of looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the medical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that can affect a person's well-being.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pittsburgh, PA


Hi, I’m Sarné (Shar-nay), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of nursing and psychiatric experience. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, collaborative, and free of judgment. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, stress, and life transitions.

As a professional, mother, and caregiver myself, I understand how overwhelming life can become. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward lasting emotional wellness.

I am committed to lifelong learning and providing care grounded in the latest evidence. I have completed the Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional (CIMHP) training through the Nutritional and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health Professionals program. This advanced training has expanded my knowledge of nutrition, sleep, physical activity, stress management, gut health, and other evidence-informed lifestyle approaches that can complement traditional psychiatric treatment when appropriate. These strategies are thoughtfully integrated into care and are intended to support—not replace—evidence-based psychiatric treatment, including medication management, psychotherapy, and collaborative care.

Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or looking for a provider who takes a whole-person approach to mental health, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and lasting wellness.

Lockeisha Johnson

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pittsburgh, PA


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, trauma, critical care, geriatrics, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have seen how deeply mental health affects every part of a person’s life, their relationships, work, sleep, confidence, physical health, and ability to feel like themselves.

I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, insomnia, stress, burnout, and life transitions.

My style is warm, empowering, holistic, and solution-oriented. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to help clients feel less stuck, reconnect with themselves, and move toward feeling whole again. Together, we will look beyond symptoms and explore the life experiences, stressors, sleep patterns, medical concerns, relationships, and personal goals that may be affecting your mental health.

I want clients to leave care feeling informed, hopeful, and equipped with a plan that helps them optimize what matters most and build a life they can truly enjoy.

Virtual • Bensalem, PA


Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.


I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.
