My name is Khadija Fofana, and I am from West Africa. I have been in the mental health field for over 6 years and I have worked as psychiatric NP for 2+ years. I know I may not heal/solve all of your difficulties but it will be my pleasure to help you regain your stabilization. Remember mental health treatment is a process and it is one that we can achieve together. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy.

Hello, I’m Dr. Lisa Merritt, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I specialize in mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where individuals feel heard and respected.

With a background in both clinical leadership and community-based care, I focus on treating the whole person, addressing mental health, substance use, and the social factors that affect well-being. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, my goal is to work alongside you to find realistic, compassionate, and evidence-based solutions.

I look forward to supporting you on your path toward healing and growth.

Hello there! Are you navigating a major life transition and feeling like your mind, body, and spirit are all trying to catch up? Maybe you’re in the thick of perimenopause, a divorce, a new job—or all three at once. Or maybe you're experiencing burn out? You may look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel tired, anxious, and are craving a deeper healing than just a simple prescription.

My practice is designed for adult women and children in New Jersey. I love to work with people who are ready to feel heard, supported, and treated as a whole person; promoting care that sees the full person, not just the symptoms.

I am passionate about working with people who are open to getting to know themselves better, or getting to know themselves at all, or again! If you’ve been dismissed or overlooked before, I want you to know that this space is different. Here, your process matters. Your story matters. And together, we’ll move toward something more grounded, more peaceful, and more you. If you’re ready to feel like yourself again or meet yourself for the first time, reach out—I’d love to support you!

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or not like yourself lately? You don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Ivy League trained with experience in outpatient, acute stabilization and consult-liaison psychiatry. I work with adults and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, mood changes, and other mental health challenges that come with stress, illness, or life transitions.

Seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or simply feeling stuck. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the feeling that you need to have everything figured out.

With advanced training in both Clinical Psychology and Psychiatric Nursing from Columbia University, along with over a decade of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD/trauma, and substance use disorders. I understand that symptoms rarely exist in isolation, which is why I take the time to understand the whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms.

I believe the best outcomes happen when treatment feels like a true partnership. You bring your lived experience, and I bring clinical expertise, guidance, and support. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns behind your struggles, identify what's keeping you stuck, and develop a personalized plan that helps you move toward the life you want to live.

Whether you're looking for therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, my approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. My goal is not only to help you feel better in the short term, but to help you build lasting insight, resilience, and confidence so that you can continue thriving long after our work together.
