Whole-person psychiatric care for professionals, caregivers, & parents who appear to have it all together, but are quietly overwhelmed, exhausted, and stretched thin underneath.
I take the time to look beyond a diagnosis and understand the larger picture: your symptoms, history, physical health, sleep, stress, relationships, hormones, life experiences, and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
Together, we create a treatment plan built around you, not just a diagnosis.

You may be functioning. But you don't feel like yourself.
Do you look like you have everything together while quietly feeling overwhelmed underneath?
Are you more irritable than you used to be, snapping at people you love and wondering why your patience has disappeared?
Do you lie awake replaying everything you didn't finish, everyone you're worried about, and everything you're supposed to be handling tomorrow?
Maybe you're the person everyone relies on—but lately you're wondering who is taking care of you.
Or perhaps you simply know that something feels different, but you can't quite explain what changed.
You may have told yourself it's stress. That you should be able to handle it. That you'll feel better when life settles down.
But sometimes what we've learned to function through begins to feel so familiar that we stop recognizing how much it's affecting us.
If you're ready to understand what may be happening beneath the surface, that's where our work can begin.

Meet Lisa
Hi, I'm Lisa C. Jenkins, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of York Psychiatry.
My path to psychiatry began long before I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner. For more than 20 years, I have worked across healthcare, nursing, social work, emergency medicine, hospital case management, and mental health care.
Those experiences taught me something I carry into every appointment:
There is always more to a person than a diagnosis.
People adapt. They compensate. They learn to function around anxiety, trauma, exhaustion, ADHD, chronic stress, physical illness, and difficult life experiences.
That's why I ask questions.
What changed? What has been overlooked? What patterns keep repeating? What is happening medically, emotionally, relationally, hormonally, or environmentally that might be contributing?
At York Psychiatry, my goal is to give you the time and space to understand the bigger picture—and then decide together what comes next.
YORK PSYCHIATRY
~ The Five Principles ~
Ask the Questions Others Don't
Thoughtful, specific questions can uncover patterns that broad questions sometimes miss.
Understand the Whole Picture
Mental health doesn't exist separately from sleep, physical health, hormones, relationships, stress, history, environment, and everyday life.
Look for What's Driving the Symptoms
Identifying what you're experiencing matters. Understanding what may be contributing to why it's happening matters too.
Use Medication Thoughtfully
Medication is never rushed or forced. When appropriate, it can provide stability and symptom relief and create space for other therapeutic work.
Partner With You
I bring psychiatric training and clinical experience. You bring expertise in your own life. Good treatment requires both.
Additional Specialty:
Women's Mental Health During Perimenopause & Menopause
Sometimes the first sign of perimenopause isn't a hot flash.
It may be anxiety that suddenly feels different. Irritability you can't explain. Poor sleep. Brain fog. Changes in concentration. Low mood. Or the unsettling feeling that you simply don't feel like yourself anymore.
Hormonal changes can affect mental health—but hormones are rarely the entire story.
At York Psychiatry, I look at the interaction between mood, sleep, stress, physical health, medications, hormones, relationships, responsibilities, and psychiatric history to better understand what may be contributing.
