Krista Lewis

I am a board-certified nurse practitioner with specialized training in both primary care and psychiatry, allowing me to provide a comprehensive and compassionate approach to mental wellness. My passion for nursing and patient care led me to graduate with honors from Chamberlain University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I later completed my Family Nurse Practitioner degree at Chamberlain University, followed by a Post-Master’s Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree from Maryville University. I then went on to earn my doctorate from Chamberlain University.

My clinical approach is rooted in the belief that mental health and physical health are deeply connected. I am passionate about helping individuals feel seen, heard, and supported while navigating life’s challenges. I strive to create a welcoming and judgment-free environment where clients can openly explore their concerns, gain insight, and develop healthier ways of coping and thriving. Through empathy, education, and evidence-based care, my goal is to empower clients to take an active role in their healing journey and overall well-being.

My approach to providing care is holistic, collaborative, and individualized to each client’s unique needs and goals. I believe effective mental health treatment involves addressing the whole person — mind, body, and lifestyle — rather than focusing solely on symptoms. I work closely with clients to create treatment plans that feel supportive, realistic, and empowering.

My style of practice combines both traditional and integrative approaches to mental health care. This may include prescribing evidence-based psychiatric medications when appropriate, while also exploring natural and lifestyle-based interventions such as stress management, nutrition, exercise, sleep improvement, and healthy coping strategies. I value educating clients about their treatment options so they can make informed decisions and feel actively involved in their healing journey.

Above all, I strive to provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care in a space where clients feel heard, respected, and supported as they work toward emotional wellness and overall balance in their lives.

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy reading, traveling, listening to music, and spending quality time with family and loved ones. These experiences help me maintain balance in my own life and deepen the empathy and connection I bring to the clients I serve.

Clients can expect their first session with me to be welcoming, supportive, and focused on understanding their unique concerns and goals. We will begin with introductions and an open conversation about your current symptoms, emotional experiences, medical history, and any challenges that may be impacting your daily life. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you feel heard and supported from the very beginning.

During the evaluation, I take time to gain a comprehensive understanding of your mental, emotional, and overall well-being so that we can develop a personalized treatment plan that best fits your needs. Together, we will discuss treatment options, answer any questions you may have, and explore approaches that can help you move toward improved balance and wellness.

Some of my clinical specialties include ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, insomnia, and stress-related concerns. I am committed to working collaboratively with clients to help them feel empowered, informed, and supported throughout their mental health journey.
