Hello, I’m Liz Farrell, DNP, PMHNP-BC, RN.
I’m a doctor of nursing practice and a psychiatric mental-health nurse practitioner who loves working with individuals to set positive goals and to improve well-being and quality of life.

I work with clients ages 18 to 65 in the Portland Metro region and I am licensed to practice in the state of Oregon. I have 14 years of experience working in mental health in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I currently work part-time in community mental health specializing in the treatment of clients with severe and persistent mental illness. In my private practice, I welcome anyone who is searching to improve their quality of life and circumstances.
I received my undergraduate degree in nursing from the Linfield-Good Samaritan School of Nursing in Portland. Later, I received my Doctorate in Nursing Practice at Washington State University. I am licensed in the State of Oregon as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner as well as being board credentialed nationally by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. I also hold a BA in Classics from U.C. Berkeley from a life prior to nursing. When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy cooking for friends and family, reading, gardening and spending time in nature.
About my practice
If you are seeking a psychiatric provider to help with issues of anxiety, panic, depression, mood dysregulation, psychosis, ADHD, OCD, or sleep problems, I provide psychiatric medication management with solution-based counseling. If you are seeking to change your circumstances, I’d like to help.
We are all too often our own worst critics. Hopefully through our work together, you can adopt an attitude of greater self-compassion.
Let’s discuss the concerns that are bringing you to treatment.
I enjoy collaborating with clients to identify personalized goals of treatment.
I provide an empathetic, humorous and pragmatic approach to the therapeutic process.
I will be providing telepsychiatry appointments through a HIPAA-secure platform until circumstances related to COVID-19 become more certain.
