About Lisa Malone, PMHNP-BC
I've been a nurse for more than 30 years. Much of that time was spent on inpatient behavioral health units, caring for people at some of the hardest moments of their lives. That work taught me to see the person behind the diagnosis, and that real recovery takes more than a prescription. It's what led me to become a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner.
Why anxiety is my focus
I know anxiety from the inside. For years, fear of judgment and of not being good enough kept me from things I loved. Working through that changed my life, and it shapes how I care for patients today. I understand how anxiety can quietly shrink your world, and I know it can grow again. Whether you're facing panic attacks, social anxiety, OCD, or hair pulling, my goal is to help you get back to the life you want.
A special place for schizophrenia care
Caring for people with schizophrenia is some of the most meaningful work I do. Too often, care stops once hallucinations are under control, while low motivation, isolation, and loss of interest go untreated. I want more for my patients. I stay current with newer options like Cobenfy, always with the goal of helping people stay connected to work, relationships, and the things they enjoy.
How I practice
My approach is integrative. I combine careful medication management with practical therapy skills, and as a certified yoga instructor, I also teach breathwork and movement practices that help calm the body and mind.
Outside the office
I live in the St. Louis area with my husband, three rescue dogs, and a tabby cat. When I'm not working, you'll find me gardening, cooking, hiking, or planning my next trip.
