Lied Metcalf, PMHNP-BC

Business information
Hello! I'm Lied Eckblad Metcalf, a dedicated and compassionate psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). With my Master’s degree from Frontier Nursing University and a Bachelor’s degree from New York University, I have a solid foundation in nursing and mental health care.

I bring two decades of experience to my patients, having worked in various settings such as outpatient clinics, hospitals, public schools, summer camps, and skilled nursing facilities.

As a PMHNP, I offer comprehensive psychiatric care to individuals aged 6 to 90, helping them manage conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use disorders.

I am all about making my patients feel comfortable and understood. I believe in tailored treatments, compassionate care, and being a supportive presence in every patient’s journey toward better mental health.

Reach out if you need someone who listens, cares, and provides expert mental health support.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:

From the beginning, you are part of your own treatment team. I am the expert on treatment options but you are the expert on you. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel respected and supported even when we are working on challenging things. You can expect clear goals in therapy and with medication, if that is a part of your treatment plan. You can also expect flexibility and willingness to alter treatment if something we are trying is not working.
