Calmyou Psychiatry's Online Review Report Card

Lis cares deeply for her patients and offers a well-rounded approach to care. Your kiddo will be in great hands with her and I would highly recommend her services.

Very thorough, thoughtful and professional care. We felt heard and supported, and immediately felt a sense of relief when we began our care. Ease of scheduling and clear instructions throughout.

Lis is always at the top of my list for referrals for psychiatric support. She takes time to get to know the people she treats to make sure she is providing the appropriate support, and she supports people in getting the appropriate support and making good decisions so that medications are part of the path towards healing and are not treated as the solution.

Lis is a fantastic provider. I have only heard the best experiences of clients who have gone to see her. She creates a supportive and informed space for individuals coming for all types of needs. I do not hesitate when suggesting her as I know people will have good experiences and be taken care of due to high level of skill

I saw Lis when she was practicing in CA. I've been trying to figure out medications for my mental health since I was 16. She was the FIRST person to ever really hear me, respect me and acknowledge my trauma history. I felt safe in her care, which I'd never really felt before in the realm of psych treatment. She is first and foremost trauma informed. She is also person centered. She acknowledges fully that the client has to wake up and live in their body each day, which is huge when trying to find the right meds. I always left feeling fully informed and supported. Having to find new care to match hers has been...well, frankly...it has been impossible. CO, you're lucky to have her.

I had the privilege of being one of Lis' clients from 2017 until just recently (March 2020). She proved to be one of the most trauma-informed and competent mental health providers I have worked with, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a psychiatric nurse practitioner. She communicates really clearly and isn't afraid to say she does not know (and will then go and do research about the topic and get back to you), and she never made me feel embarrassed or ashamed about the significant PTSD symptoms I struggle with. She is an expert in psychiatric medications, and additionally was happy to discuss other things I would ask her opinion on (like if something I was experiencing was worth mentioning to my PCP or if it was a PTSD symptom, stuff like that). She also has a lot of knowledge about how our brains interact with our bodies, which is something I've seen a lot of psychiatric providers not have.

I worked with Lis from Aug 2018 through Dec 2020 here in CA and there aren't even words to describe how I feel about her and her help & support during that time. I am a different person than I was when we first met. I was immediately impressed with her manner and her pharmaceutical knowledge. I came to her after a very rough first half of 2018 and needed to get off my sleep medication and tweak my other medications for optimum results. She saw me through 4 surgeries in 2019 & 2020 and assisted me through a period of time when I needed to take a break and focus on my mental health. Her assistance with my short-term disability insurance made all the difference and I was able to take the time I needed and not worry about paying the bills. Over the course of about 9 months, she helped me wean off the sleeping medication I had been taking daily for 6+ years and adjusted my other meds to help me avoid side-effects. Lis is a great listener and is very thoughtful with her comments, questions and suggestions. She also made it very clear from the very start that she was there to help me, but all final decisions about treatments and meds were completely up to me. I always felt comfortable letting her know what was going on and appreciated her support and professionalism. Even when we moved to online sessions when she first left CA and through the pandemic. I'm very sorry that Lis is no longer working with the practice and will miss her guidance. However, CO has gained a treasure.

Lis Collins is more than a prescriber. She holistically cares for the whole person and addresses any concerns in her capacity as a psychiatric care provider. If a psychiatric patient communicates openly and honestly with Lis, she can in turn provide life-changing care for people in crisis and also accompany you on your journey.

Lis Collins is a stellar provider and I was fortunate to work alongside her for the past two years. You can count on Lis to provide individualized holistic care for every patient she treats and is a wealth of knowledge that she will share with you on your journey to wellness.

Lis stands apart from other prescribers in her willingness to learn and expand her cultural humility. Lis works with each individual from a strength focused perspective to support growth and health. One area Lis is currently very committed to expanding her skills is supporting gender diverse individuals. Colorado is very blessed to have this practitioner in the community.
