Getting to know Elizabeth Connole-Pond
Hi, I'm Beth, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving clients in Pennsylvania. I specialize in insomnia and sleep concerns, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), college and graduate student mental health, depression, and anxiety.
With 14 years of nursing experience, I've had the opportunity to care for individuals with a wide range of health needs. Those experiences inspired me to pursue advanced training in psychiatry so I could help people navigate life's emotional and mental health challenges with compassion and understanding. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice and completed my psychiatric training at Wilkes University.
I believe that every person's story is unique, and I strive to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself. My goal is to work alongside you to develop a treatment plan that fits your needs and helps you achieve lasting well-being. As part of the Lavender Psychiatry team, I'm committed to making mental health care more approachable and ensuring every person feels heard, respected, and supported throughout their journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
PLEASE NOTE, I’M IN-NETWORK WITH CIGNA, CAPITAL BLUE CROSS, AND HIGHMARK. I DO NOT ACCEPT MEDICARE OR 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.
I decided to return to school to become a psych NP because I witnessed chronic stigma associated with mental health. I wanted to effect positive changes in others and help decrease the stigma through awareness of mental health disorders. Access to mental health care was also a reason I decided to become an NP. I have never looked back!
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?
Booking Process:
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
