Getting to know Marlisha Thomas
Hello, my name is Marlisha Thomas, and I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I earned my Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from the University of Alabama. I work with adults aged 18 to 65, specializing in treating depression, anxiety, panic, insomnia, and ADHD. I take a holistic approach to care, combining evidence-based medication management with supportive psychotherapy tailored to each person's unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, empathetic space where you can feel heard and understood while working together to achieve lasting improvements in your mental health. Whether you're struggling with focus, managing overwhelming emotions, or dealing with sleep issues, I'm here to support you every step of the way. If you're ready to take the first step toward feeling better and reclaiming your life, let's work together to create a plan that helps you feel more balanced and in control. Please note that while I'm here to support your mental health needs, I do not prescribe controlled substances.
I'm part of Resolute, a practice offering high-quality, insurance-covered therapy and psychiatry, with comprehensive support to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for our clients. For additional help, reach out to the Resolute support team. I look forward to meeting you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach to psychiatric care is patient-centered, focusing on treating the whole person by addressing emotional, physical, and social factors that affect well-being. I prioritize a collaborative relationship with my patients, ensuring they are actively involved in decisions about their care. In terms of medication management, I take an evidence-based approach, carefully considering the benefits, risks, and the patient's individual needs to enhance their quality of life. Alongside medication, I incorporate supportive psychotherapy and use techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help patients develop effective coping skills, build self-awareness, and manage their symptoms. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate environment where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered on their path to better mental health.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
A successful treatment session is one where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take the next steps in their mental health journey. My goal is to create a safe space for open discussion, where we collaboratively develop strategies for symptom management and well-being. I ensure patients understand their treatment plans by explaining medication choices and therapeutic approaches clearly and encourage them to ask questions. Together, we set achievable goals aligned with their priorities, and I provide coping strategies like mindfulness or cognitive-behavioral techniques for use outside of sessions. A successful session leaves the patient feeling confident in their ability to manage their mental health and motivated to continue working toward their goals.
