Joy Elizabeth Lewis O'Brien

Hi there, I'm Joy Elizabeth Lewis!

I am a board-certified NP in psychiatry with 15 years of experience helping people find their way to the healthy life that they desire. When I'm not working, you can find me hiking, sailing, skiing, and quilting.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults in all walks of life, in different family and relationship constellations. I have experience working with LGBTQIA clients and non-traditional relationship structures, from a variety of ethnic and spiritual backgrounds. I believe medication is only part of the picture in terms of a well-balanced life.

My approach

My approach utilizes CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic techniques. From the outset, I want to get to know who I am working with, their goals, and the context that leads to them seeking help. I want to know what's worked, what hasn't worked, and their priorities and things to avoid in treatment.
