I am a compassionate, dedicated, board-certified, doctorate trained, psychiatric nurse practitioner with years of experience, treating individuals of different ages, diagnosed with a wide range of psychiatric disorders, in a variety of settings.
I offer adult clients (18-65 yrs), psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management via telehealth visits treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, and lifestyle coaching. Bringing 20+ years experience in various healthcare roles, I view client care through a holistic, personalized, & collaborative lens. I especially enjoy working with Veterans, LGBTQ+ community, young adults and others facing life changes/ transitions as these are often difficult to navigate without support. My goal is to provide a safe space for all clients to share their feelings and concerns, by starting each session with an open mind. I am a veteran, athlete, a lover of animals & the outdoors.

She combines clinical expertise with critical skills including active listening, innovative thought, and critical analysis. Lisa works closely and collaboratively with clients to address their individual concerns and to develop a manageable treatment plan.

Having grown up in an economically disadvantaged community, I witnessed the toll that mental illness can take on individuals and their families; and having raised three children on my own, I know what it is to struggle. My experiences fueled my passion for mental health care, and I bring this empathy and understanding to every patient interaction.
My approach to care is grounded in active listening, empathy, and collaboration. I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals. I work with those who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and many other mental health concerns.
With years of experience as an RN and mental health nurse practitioner, I have the knowledge and skills to care for patients of all ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds. I am deeply committed to helping individuals overcome their challenges. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and help you find peace, healing, and fulfillment.
When the worry, or the pain, or the fear of our current situation is standing in front of us like a brick wall, what if we could see beyond it? What if we could literally stand on our toes and look OVER it? Would seeing what lies beyond the present change how it's affecting us? When triggered by the right stressors, the genes we are born with can lead to anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations. And throughout life, we may experience abuse, neglect, loss, poverty, trauma and situations that make us feel “stuck.”
Most stressors require support via therapy. Some respond better to medications. Whether it's ongoing therapy, medication, or a combination of the two, I will give you the evidence-based research. YOU will decide what's best for you.
As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a PhD in clinical psychology, I have the formal knowledge and experience, but more importantly I've lived through most of the situations listed above.
“Dr Fitzsimmons is phenomenal! I had my first appointment with her yesterday, and could not be happier. She did an excellent job of making me feel like getting help was actually possible. I've saw 2 other therapist previously, and frankly, they can't hold a candle to Dr Fitzsimmons.”
I've experienced firsthand the weight of anxiety and the grip of depression. But from these struggles, I've emerged with a burning resolve to be a light for others. My aim is to serve as a beacon of hope and understanding, offering compassionate care rooted in honesty and clinical expertise.
My approach to treatment is grounded in the belief that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My specialties encompass a wide range of conditions, including Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Trauma, Bipolar, and ADHD. My focus lies predominantly on medication management but, above all, I prioritize patient-centered care.
Clients can expect personalized care marked by trust, honesty, and close collaboration. You can trust that in my care, you'll find a sanctuary free from judgment, where your pain is acknowledged, your struggles are validated, and your journey towards wholeness is my highest priority.
