Getting to know Dr. Lee Njeri
My name is Lee, and it's a pleasure to meet you. I am an alumnus of the University of Massachusetts, where I completed a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). I then went back to school and earned a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Frontier Nursing University, specializing in psychiatric-mental health throughout the lifespan.
I have over twenty years of combined experience in psychiatry, spanning from direct-care support to being a registered nurse, and now as a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP).
My experience includes work in inpatient, outpatient, detention, long-term care facilities, IOP, PRP, and residential treatment centers. I have worked with people of all ages. My specialties include, but are not limited to, mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, addictions/SUDs, schizophrenia, autism spectrum, and dementia. I look forward to being your provider on this journey of mental health treatment and recovery.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for your lived experience. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable talking openly about what you’re going through.
In our sessions, I take time to truly listen and understand the full picture—your symptoms, your goals, your history, and what’s important to you. I combine evidence-based practices with a holistic view of mental health, which means considering not just medication but also your lifestyle, environment, and supports.
I offer medication management as well as brief, supportive therapy during appointments. If more in-depth therapy is needed, I can help connect you with a therapist who aligns with your needs. Whether you’re new to mental health treatment or returning to care, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.
My goal is to empower you with tools, knowledge, and support to help you feel more in control of your mental health and overall well-being.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Your first few sessions will focus on getting a full understanding of who you are and what brings you in. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I’ll spend time gathering information about your symptoms, mental health history, medical background, current stressors, and goals for treatment. This is all part of the diagnostic process and helps guide your personalized care plan.
Initial evaluations usually last a bit longer and are focused on understanding the full picture. Follow-up sessions are typically shorter and may focus on how you’re responding to treatment, medication management, and adjusting the plan as needed.
In addition to medication management, I may also incorporate brief supportive or solution-focused therapy into our visits, depending on your needs. If ongoing talk therapy would be helpful, I can help coordinate care with a therapist who aligns with your goals.
Throughout your care, I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where we can work together to support your mental health in a way that feels thoughtful, respectful, and effective.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $200 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 45 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- 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
We accept a variety of insurance plans, and we're happy to verify your coverage before your first appointment. Please make sure to provide your insurance information in advance so we can confirm your benefits and any out-of-pocket costs you may be responsible for, such as copays or deductibles.
For those not using insurance or if your plan is out-of-network, we offer self-pay options. Payment is due at the time of service, and we accept most major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA payments.
If cost is a concern, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We may be able to offer a sliding scale or connect you with additional resources to help make care more accessible.
Our goal is to ensure the billing process is straightforward so you can focus on your care. If you have any questions about your insurance, payment options, or need help understanding a bill, our team is here to support you.
