Lisa Anderson, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC
Assistant Professor/Clinical
I am a psychiatric / mental health nurse practitioner practicing in an outpatient setting since 2016. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and young adults in my clinical setting. I treat patients diagnosed with various psychiatric disorders, but my passion is working with those who have a diagnosis of ADHD or autism spectrum disorder. I have also been a faculty member with UT Health San Antonio’s School of Nursing since 2018. In addition to teaching, I have precepted many students, as I enjoy teaching future PMHNPs and assisting students in any capacity available to help them succeed in their professional careers.
Since earning my Doctor of Nursing (DNP) in 2021, I have been engaged in multiple professional presentations and organizations. My patients drive my passion for research and professional endeavors. I am a huge advocate for reducing the stigma against mental health, improving access to mental health care services, and NP advocacy to effectively treat psychiatric conditions. I will continue to dedicate my career to delivering high-quality mental health care services to my patients as well as teaching future PMHNPs to continue to advance our profession.
