Dr. Lisa Merritt

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 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 Metuchen

Searching for therapists in Metuchen starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, trauma, or life changes. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or an integrated approach to therapy. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses integrative therapies, works with specific populations, or focuses on the concerns you want support with.

In a smaller city like Metuchen, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can expand the number of therapists available to you in New Jersey. Some people prefer meeting in an office close to home, work, or transit, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what sessions may be like.

Therapy in Metuchen can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

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