You bring the truth. I’ll bring the tools.
Together, we’ll craft something better.

Welcome to OptiMind Mental Health & Wellness—where mental wellness meets bold insight, no judgment, and zero beige vibes.

I work specialize in working with women (and welcome all genders), often in midlife, who are done pretending everything’s fine when it’s clearly not. You’re smart. You’ve done the therapy. You’ve read the books. And still… something feels off.

Let’s figure that out—with science, creativity, and just enough sass to keep it real.

Lisa Hardy, PMHNP

Hi, I’m Lisa, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

Welcome to my practice, OptiMind Mental Health & Wellness.

I describe my style as science meets humor, and no judgment required.

My credentials are that I am a double-board certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Nurse-Midwife who helps women cope with and recover from anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, mood swings and more.

I value an integrative approach that may include psychiatric evaluation, lab testing, food-mood assessment, targeted psychotherapy, science-backed supplement recommendations and medication expertise to address what may feel like unpredictable or unmanageable moods.

I created OptiMind for you because everyone deserves care where they feel heard.

Finding the right psychiatric provider who appears human, takes the time to listen and is committed to helping you overcome roadblocks to mental wellness can make all the difference.

You don't need to do this alone. I offer a 15-minute free initial discovery call to see if we are a good fit.

🌿 Does This Sound Familiar?

  • You’re stressed, snappy, and irritable more often than not

  • There’s a quiet internal critic—a sense you should’ve achieved more by now

  • The world feels flat. The sparkle? Gone.

  • You cry out of nowhere, for reasons you can’t explain

  • You’re “functioning”… but not optimally—and that’s not cutting it anymore

  • You’re starting to wonder if your meds are doing anything, or if there might be a better way

  • And more than anything, you’re wanting a partner—someone to help you sort through the noise and actually feel like yourself again


🧠 Here’s the good news: You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And this isn’t the end of the road.

At OptiMind Mental Health & Wellness, I take a holistic, lifestyle-based approach to mental health care—rooted in science, shaped by lived experience, and delivered with humanity.

I offer a stress-free 15-minute consultation to learn about your treatment goals and to see if we would be would be a good fit.
