Dr. Lisa Merritt

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Ridgewood, NJ


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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chester

Searching for therapists in Chester starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. Many people look for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options for Chester therapy, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training fit your needs. A bio can help you understand whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Chester is a smaller community, so local appointment options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual therapy can give you more choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can show you how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach to care.

Therapy in Chester can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments when available. You can review therapist bios, compare availability, and book directly when you find a fit.
