Ahila Muthaiya, APRN, PMHNP

Nurse Practitioner (Psychiatry)
4368 Eagle Rock Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
"I kindly ask that appointments not be scheduled for immediate refills of any medications, especially controlled substances. For the safety and well-being of my clients, I prefer to prescribe medications, particularly controlled substances, only after a well-established care relationship has been developed. This ensures I can provide the best possible care tailored to each individual's needs. Thank you for your understanding. Ahila is a compassionate and faith-based provider who believes in taking a holistic approach to managing mental health concerns. For her, medication management is important but not the first-line measure. She emphasizes that many other approaches can be explored before considering medication adjustments. Her philosophy includes various non-medication interventions such as therapy, counseling, lifestyle changes, and spiritual practices. Ahila values building strong therapeutic relationships with her patients, understanding their unique needs and circumstances, and empowering them to take an active role in their mental health journey. By embracing this holistic approach, Ahila aims to address the root causes of mental health concerns rather than simply treating symptoms with medication. This approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being and seeks to promote balance and healing in all aspects of a person's life. Ahila holds a Master’s in Nursing from the University of Phoenix and a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from the University of South Alabama. Her education supports her commitment to providing comprehensive care that honors the complexity of each individual’s experience and fosters growth, resilience, and well-being."

What should a new client know about working with you?

We are created carefully and wonderfully, with a uniqueness that belongs to each of us. We have emotions that make us who we are, but at times they run rampant, painting our lives with hues of joy, sorrow, love, and everything in between. As fellow humans, we understand the depth and complexity of these feelings, each one a thread woven into the fabric of our very existence and uniqueness. Whether you're navigating the peaks of happiness or the valleys of despair, know that your emotions are valid and that you're not alone in your journey. Together, let's explore the vast landscape of human emotion.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Starting with a no-obligation consultation allows both of us to assess whether we're the right fit for each other, ensuring that our therapeutic relationship is built on mutual trust and understanding. During the intake meeting, we'll delve into your medical, social, and psychiatric history, providing a foundation for crafting a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle. And, of course, follow-up sessions will be scheduled based on your preferences and the level of support required, ensuring that you receive the care and attention you deserve. It's through this collaborative process that we can work towards your mental health and well-being.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $150 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $100 for 30 minutes
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
