Lilit Sarkisyan is a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in adult psychiatry and addiction medicine with a deeply integrative and personalized approach. She works with individuals who are ready to understand their mental health more fully, beyond labels and quick fixes, and want care that addresses the root causes of distress, not just the symptoms.

Lilit has extensive experience in intensive and acute inpatient psychiatric care, where she worked closely with adults facing complex mood disorders, psychosis, severe anxiety, personality disorders, addiction, and co-occurring substance use disorders. These high-acuity settings taught her the importance of clinical precision, crisis stabilization, and the power of a human-centered approach during moments of deep vulnerability. Her work also includes inpatient addiction medicine and substance-use detoxification, where she supports adults navigating withdrawal management, early recovery, relapse prevention, and the psychiatric complexities that often accompany addiction. Through this work, she has developed experience treating individuals struggling with alcohol dependence, stimulant use, opioid use, polysubstance use, and dual-diagnosis conditions.

Lilit also has experience in adolescent inpatient psychiatry, where she provided care to teens experiencing acute emotional and behavioral challenges. This work deepened her understanding of how early-life patterns and unresolved pain can evolve into adulthood struggles, shaping the empathetic and developmentally informed lens she brings to her adult clients today.

Lilit graduated as valedictorian of her Bachelor of Science in Nursing program and went on to complete her Master of Science in Nursing with honors, ranking at the top of her class. She also holds a Master’s in Healthcare Administration, which has strengthened her leadership, systems thinking, and commitment to patient safety. Since 2015, she has served as a clinical consultant for a major healthcare organization, focusing on identifying and preventing medical errors to enhance quality of care across complex medical systems. 

Soulence Psychiatry & Wellness was born out of Lilit’s desire to practice psychiatry on her own terms, free from rigid models and rushed care. She envisioned a space where mental health treatment could be clear and collaborative. At Soulence, she combines evidence-based medication management with holistic and lifestyle-based interventions such as nutritional support, sleep optimization, and stress resilience strategies. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Each care plan is created in partnership with the patient, honoring the complexity of their lived experience.

Whether you’re looking to re-evaluate long-standing medications, explore new options, navigate addiction and recovery, or finally feel like you’re being heard, Lilit’s goal is to help you reconnect with clarity, healing, and long-term wellness.

Let’s begin this journey together.
