Lisa Shaffer, NP

Nurse Practitioner (Psychiatry)
MA
I'm Lisa Shaffer, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with prescriptive authority in MA, providing treatment for psychiatric ailments and disorders across the lifespan. I earned my Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Regis College and have been practicing in a variety of clinical care settings since 2015. Clinical care areas I've worked and trained in include inpatient (medical and psychiatric care), outpatient (medical and psychiatric), and emergency care (medical and psychiatric). Over the years, my practice has evolved to provide a more holistic approach. While I continue to prescribe medication, I strongly believe that finding the root cause of symptoms through a functional medicine approach provides clients with the best outcomes. My personal interest in living a healthy lifestyle and root cause medicine led me on the path to pursue certification as a Functional Medicine practitioner. Understanding a client's unique physiology and history allows me to define individualized treatment plans for each client. My clients may begin lifestyle and dietary changes in an effort to provide treatment while minimizing side effects that may result from traditional pharmacological treatments. I do use conventional medicine when appropriate and beneficial as part of a treatment plan. I do not prescribe benzodiazepines or stimulants.
