Lisa K.
Rodriguez
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, DNP, PMHNP-BC
I feel it is an honor to walk alongside clients on their personal journey to mental health and wellness. A client brings so much more to our work together than their current mental health challenges and physical symptoms. It is important for me to understand a client's value system, their primary goal for treatment, what their past experiences have been, and what personal strengths they possess, Above all, I hope to work with clients in a way that is meaningful and that positively impacts their daily lives. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated and willing to meet me halfway in our work together.

I have a great deal of experience working with ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I am passionate about providing culturally responsive care, and endeavor to integrate cultural humility into my work with clients. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, and I am trained to provide Gender Affirming Surgery Assessments.
​
I embrace a holistic approach in my work with clients. I strive to not only address psychiatric needs, but be cognizant and respectful of a patient's biological and social needs as well. It is my goal as a practitioner to respect and value my patient's choices, and meet them "where they are" in their mental health journey with unconditional positive regard.
SISU is a term that embodies Finnish culture.
The concept of SISU encompasses going beyond one's mental or physical capacity. Possessing a SISU mindset means that an individual has a strength of will, determination, perseverance, and the ability to act rationally in the face of life's challenges. SISU is not a momentary act of courage, but the ability to sustain courage. My goal as a practitioner is to support clients in their courageous quest to improve their mental health and wellness.
