Hi, I’m Lesya (Lisa) Bindas, ARNP, DNP, PMHNP-BC
I’m a doctorally trained, board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner serving patients across Washington State. Since 2012, I’ve helped thousands of individuals navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood-related concerns through a personalized approach that combines medication management with practical, supportive strategies.
​
My goal is simple: help you feel better and function better—with a plan that makes sense for your symptoms, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals.
My Approach
I believe mental health care should feel clear, collaborative, and grounded in both clinical expertise and compassion. During visits, we’ll focus on:
​
-
Clarifying what’s driving your symptoms
-
Creating an individualized treatment plan
-
Tracking progress and adjusting your plan as needed
-
Supporting sleep, motivation, focus, and emotional regulation
When appropriate, I also consider factors that can impact mental health such as stress, lifestyle habits, and overall wellbeing.
My Background
My path into psychiatry began in 2012 while working with a young patient with autism spectrum disorder and severe self-harm behaviors. That experience sparked my commitment to supporting people through complex mental health challenges. Since then, I’ve worked across multiple levels of care—from inpatient psychiatry to outpatient clinics and residential programs—supporting individuals across the lifespan.
I’ve trained and worked in settings including Swedish, Harborview, Multicare, Fairfax, and Greater Lakes, and I bring that depth of experience into every evaluation and follow-up visit.
​
I aim to create a calm, structured space where you feel heard, supported, and confident in your next steps.

Outside of Work
I was raised in Washington State and value the support of my family and close community. I prioritize wellness through daily movement—whether hiking, going to the gym, or getting outside whenever I can. I also enjoy entrepreneurship and real estate, and my Christian faith is an important part of my life.
