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.

Dr. Helena Correia

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.

Finding the right therapist can feel like a lot, and I want to make that first step a little easier. I'm Lauren, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience.

My clinical experience has included community-based mental health, schools, maternal health, substance use and recovery, and private practice. Working across these settings has allowed me to work with people from diverse backgrounds and at many different stages of life. I understand that no two people are the same, and I tailor therapy to your individual needs, goals, and experiences.

These experiences shaped the thing I believe most: meaningful growth happens when you are met exactly where you are, without judgment and without being rushed.

Whether you are managing anxiety, processing trauma, navigating grief, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I would love to be part of your path

forward. Reach out when you are ready.

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 Plainfield

Searching for therapists in Plainfield starts with identifying the kind of support and clinical experience that match your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare Plainfield therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and populations served in each profile. Details like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience supporting young adults can help you decide who may be a fit.

Plainfield has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across New Jersey while keeping care accessible from home. In-person sessions may be a better fit if you prefer an office setting or want a therapist near your commute. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, session style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. These details can help you compare fit before your first appointment.

Therapy in Plainfield can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, confirm your insurance details, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Plainfield, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
