Getting to know Elisabeth Carpenter
Hello, my name is Elisabeth Carpenter, and I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving clients in Pennsylvania. I provide compassionate, client-centered care and specialize in a wide range of concerns including ADHD, anger management and impulse control, anxiety, bipolar disorder, college and graduate student mental health, depression, insomnia and sleep issues, LGBTQIA+ topics, life transitions, grief and loss, women’s issues, stress management, sleep disorders, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), sexual health and dysfunction, race and cultural identity, PTSD and trauma, OCD, men’s issues, burnout, chronic illness, family issues, infertility, life coaching, and religion and spirituality.
With 9 years of nursing experience and advanced psychiatric training from La Salle University, I’m honored to support individuals on their journey toward emotional well-being. I’m passionate about destigmatizing mental healthcare, and together with my colleagues at Lavender Psychiatry, I’m on a mission to create a world where feelings are felt, respected, and cared for.
What should a new client know about working with you?
PLEASE NOTE, I’M IN-NETWORK WITH AETNA, CAPITAL BLUE CROSS, CIGNA, HIGHMARK PA, IBC PA, MEDICARE, OSCAR, OXFORD, QUEST BEHAVIORAL, UNITED HEALTHCARE. I DO NOT ACCEPT MEDICAID.
My therapeutic style is characterized by warmth, engagement, and a genuine personal connection. I believe in establishing a strong, collaborative relationship with each client, where we work together to make informed decisions about their treatment. My practice is inclusive and welcoming, embracing diversity in culture, background, and experience. I have worked with a wide range of clients, including students, parents, professionals from various fields, skilled tradespeople, service industry workers, retail employees, entrepreneurs, artists, and technology experts. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space where each individual feels heard, understood, and empowered to achieve their therapeutic goals.
Starting treatment can be a scary and intimidating process, I’ve successfully treated many people who are new to psychiatric care.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Request your appointment time on Zocdoc. My office will email you an online intake form to ensure I’m able to help you. If we’re a fit, we’ll reach out to confirm an appointment time. I try my best to keep slots available each week for new clients.
Your First Visit:
The initial session is a comprehensive, one-hour evaluation which allows me to understand your current symptoms and difficulties, and learn about important aspects of your past psychiatric, medical, social, educational, and family histories. At the end of the session, we’ll determine the best treatment course. Session frequency ranges from weekly to monthly depending on the type of treatment you’re looking for.
If you’re already seeing a therapist, I’m happy to collaborate with them while guiding the medication aspect of your treatment. However, many of my clients see me for both therapy and medication management.
My practice, Lavender Psychiatry, is founded and fueled by board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners who create therapeutic journeys that are kind, convenient and transparent so that people can flourish. We have a fantastic team that works together to ensure our clients are well taken care of. This includes our care concierge team who is available 7 days a week between your appointments, to help answer questions and assist with any issues regarding coverage and prescriptions etc. We also have covering providers in case I’m away and an urgent matter arises. I look forward to meeting you and helping you in your journey to a brighter future!

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
If you use your insurance with us, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has.
