Welcome; My name is Lisa Curtain and I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) at The Evolving Mind LLC. At the heart of The Evolving Mind’s philosophy lies the belief that every individual possesses inherent resilience and potential for growth. I recognize that mental well-being is not merely the absence of illness but a dynamic state of balance, encompassing emotional, psychological, and social dimensions. Some features of different therapy modalities are incorporated throughout sessions, however, therapy incorporation is minimal due to time constraints and appointment goals are medication management. Not to fear! Grow has a host of quality, professional therapists so if you don’t have one already, I will refer for you! Wrap around care is AWESOME! Central to my approach is the cultivation of self-awareness and self-compassion. I encourage individuals to engage in a journey of introspection, exploring their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with curiosity and kindness. Through this process, individuals gain insight into their inner workings, develop coping skills, and foster a deeper sense of self-acceptance.In essence, my mental health philosophy is grounded in the belief that each person has the capacity to thrive and flourish, regardless of their circumstances. By fostering resilience, self-compassion, and holistic well-being, I strive to empower individuals to live authentically, cultivate meaningful connections, and pursue a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Sometimes shared space is the greatest thing we experience with each other. As a provider, I hope to use our space to inspire helpful insight utilizing a humanistic-transpersonal approach. Through positive inquisition, we start to see our remarkable qualities by exploring thoughts, behaviors, and experiences via discussions meaningful to you. There are many counseling principles I utilize as a practitioner. I find it difficult to choose just one theoretical concept and more beneficial to be well versed in a variety of treatment modalities to best meet the individual’s needs. As a provider, I strive to have a vast network of colleague’s expertise to consult with and learn from. As needs change, providers must be adaptable and discover new information, recent studies provide best practices to consider incorporating. I am dedicated to trauma informed care and creating a safe space to share experiences our society has trouble processing. We will learn and grow together about specific modalities of interest, I may not be so familiar with. As your provider, I intend to focus on what you deem is priority. A humanistic approach is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, creating an ideal space for accessing innate healing abilities. This approach appreciates beauty in imperfection and assists individuals in recognizing worth in themselves. Helping an individual develop a supportive network is also a priority as a practitioner. Our connections to each other and the world around us remain a lifeline for individuals coping with distress. An integrative nursing approach has similar principles to nursing theorist Jean Watson; encouraging spirituality, a broader sense of self, unconditional acceptance, and altruism. These values breathe life into well-being and a healthy, optimistic existence. Mental health is not the absence of symptoms. Mental health is defined by one’s ability to access their inner resources to feel, process, adapt, and prevail. I look forward to opportunities of interaction with my fellow humans and strive to help ease suffering by providing support, understanding, compassion, and the skills necessary to manage the complexities of everyday life and the challenges of humanity.
