Getting to know Lydia Foster
I am an MSN, APRN, PMHNP, CCM, and a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, providing compassionate, evidence-based care with a strong commitment to a whole-person approach to mental wellness.
Fluent in English and experienced in working with diverse populations, I view each of my clients as more than a diagnosis. I consider the emotional, physical, social, and spiritual factors that shape an individual’s mental health.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When working with me, you can expect a warm, respectful, and collaborative environment where your voice is heard and your goals are central to the treatment plan. I blend thoughtful medication management with lifestyle guidance, therapy coordination, and supportive coaching to help you regain balance and move toward lasting wellness.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My typical process starts with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, where I take time to understand the client’s history, current concerns, and goals. This includes reviewing medical, psychiatric, family, and social background. From there, I work with the client to develop a collaborative treatment plan, which may include medication management, psychotherapy interventions, or referrals to other supports.

She has great technical problem solving skill and was a good listener but clinical notes are different from what she told me. She also promised to try to find the right counselor for me but I never heard back from her so a little disappointed.
