Getting to know Lisa Watkins
Hi there, I'm Lisa!
Hi. I am so glad you are here. I am Lisa Watkins, a board certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have earned a certification in Functional Medicine as well, which means my approach to your care is to find the root cause of your symptoms and formulate a specific individual plan for you. There are options other than just pills and my approach is to utilize natural options such as supplements, movement, and nutrition education to help you to heal your body and relieve your symptoms.
My approach
We will review the specific details of your symptoms and do appropriate testing to determine the root cause of the symptoms. Together we will formulate an individual treatment plan. We will utilize supplements to help to balance the nutrients in the body, magnesium is a great supplement for many mood issues, digestive issues as well as sleep. Nutrition education will help us to address issues of food sensitivities, blood sugar issues and inappropriate levels of protein. We will also talk about how to improve your movement on a daily basis, setting realistic goals that you are comfortable with yet will challenge you to develop new healthy habits.
My focus
mostly adults - some adolescents depression, anxiety, sleep issues, weight issues, fatigue, thyroid issues and issues related to stress. I also enjoy working with individuals with symptoms of bipolar
My communication style
informal, casual i am somewhat direct and clear in what the issues are and where is the best place to start
My journey to mental healthcare
I love people. I feel we have been mislead into believing that pills are the answer to problems and this is rarely the case. I feel so motivated to educate people about their bodies, what is going on when they are having symptoms and empowering them to take back control of their lives - to be able to wake up in the morning energized and excited for the day!
