Lissette Cid Medina

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals across the lifespan. I completed both of my nursing practitioner degrees in the United States and have been practicing as an NP for the past two years.

Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I trained and practiced as a medical doctor in Cuba, where I graduated from medical school in 2001. This diverse clinical background allows me to approach every client with a broad, integrative understanding of physical and mental health, cultural factors, and the unique experiences each person brings. My approach to care is warm, collaborative, and patient-centered. I believe in creating a safe space where individuals feel heard, understood, and supported. Treatment plans are tailored to each client and may include medication management, psychoeducation, lifestyle recommendations, and coordination with therapists or other healthcare providers.

Above all, I am committed to helping each person improve their emotional well-being, build resilience, and achieve meaningful, sustainable change in their lives.

My approach is patient-centered, compassionate, and collaborative. I focus on creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood. I combine evidence-based medication management, psychoeducation, and lifestyle guidance to develop individualized treatment plans. I work closely with clients to set realistic goals, monitor progress, and adjust care as needed. My goal is to help each person improve their well-being, strengthen coping skills, and achieve long-term stability

During the first session, clients can expect a comfortable, supportive conversation focused on understanding their concerns, symptoms, and goals. I take time to review medical and mental health history, current challenges, and any previous treatments. We discuss what has been working, what hasn’t, and what the client hopes to achieve.

Together, we outline an initial treatment plan, which may include medication options, therapy recommendations, or lifestyle strategies. Clients can expect a judgment-free environment, clear communication, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and express their needs. My goal is for every person to leave the first session feeling understood, informed, and hopeful about their path forward.
