Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Tinton Falls, NJ


I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

Dr. Lisa Merritt

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 18 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 an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Jersey City

Finding postpartum therapists in Jersey City starts with looking for someone whose training fits your needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare Jersey City therapists, look for specialties in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support. Some therapists may also list a perinatal mental health certification, such as PMH-C, which can signal added training in care before and after birth.

In Jersey City, location and scheduling can shape which therapist is a practical match. An office near your home, workplace, PATH station, or bus route may help if you prefer in-person therapy in Jersey City, NJ. Virtual appointments can also expand access to a postpartum specialist, especially when your schedule shifts, infant care changes, or you are managing physical recovery. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session format, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Postpartum therapy in Jersey City can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists in Jersey City who are accepting new patients, compare detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can filter by insurance, appointment type, specialty, and availability, making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and has time to meet.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
