I received my master degree from the University of Memphis in May 2009. I immediately started working with a variety of clientele. I have extensive experience with trauma related care, attachment trauma, anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse disorders, grief/bereavement and life transitions. I have worked in the community, in schools, worked with clients privately and worked with clients in therapeutic/recovery courts. I have experience with children, adolescents, and adults ranging from ages 5-80. I have three certifications in trauma informed care.
Hi! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner, with 6 years working as an APRN with adults. My focus is ADHD, anxiety, and depression, you know, the stuff that shows up in daily life and makes everything feel harder than it should. I handle psychiatric evaluations and medication management, and I actually enjoy the process of figuring out what works for you, not just what works in general.
I’ve got tools to help you feel more balanced and in control! I work with adults and I’m passionate about supporting first responders (IAFF-trained and always learning!) and anyone navigating addiction. I have a masters in clinical counseling with a specialization in trauma and addiction. Think of me as your partner in creating calm, confidence, and positive change—in a totally judgment-free zone.
Lisa Kruger PMHNP-BC. Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner -Board Certified. Attended Lincoln Memorial University for Nursing School and King College for Masters of Science in Nursing to obtain my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Degree in Knoxville Tennessee. I have experience and passion for working with adolescent and teen patients. I have worked with the youth population in multiple capacities for many years. I also have experience treating all age populations for symptoms related to mild to severe depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant disorder, anxiety, agoraphobia and divorce trauma recovery.
I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.
While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.
One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.
I am an LCSW with a Master's of Social Work degree and have been in field over 12 years.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Memphis
Finding the right therapist in Memphis starts with getting clear on what kind of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, ADHD, or grief, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Common license types in Tennessee include LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), and psychologists — each trained to provide talk therapy. If you need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner may be the right fit.
With hundreds of providers practicing across Memphis and surrounding areas like Germantown, Bartlett, and Collierville, narrowing your options can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider's therapeutic approach, the option for virtual or in-person sessions, or availability that fits your schedule. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.
Therapy in Memphis can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book — and many patients pay as little as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
