Getting to know Asana Aruna

I’m Asana, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving both Northern and Southern California. I earned my Master’s in Adult Health Nursing from Walden University, which laid the foundation for my work in mental health and my specialization in nutritional psychiatry. I believe deeply in the powerful connection between the mind and body. By strengthening this connection, I help address behavioral concerns at their root, not just the symptoms. I take a personalized approach to care, thoughtfully integrating each client’s lifestyle into their treatment plan. My practice blends evidence-based Western medicine with complementary, holistic techniques to support the whole person, mind, body, and spirit. Whether through medication, non-medicinal interventions, or integrative therapies, my goal is always to support the body’s natural healing process while prioritizing each client’s well-being. I’m passionate about offering a unique, holistic approach to mental health care, one that empowers healing, balance, and lasting wellness.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When you work with me, you can expect a collaborative and compassionate approach to your mental health care. My goal is to blend my clinical expertise with your personal vision for a healthier, more fulfilling life. No matter where you are on your journey, I aim to empower you with the tools and support needed to create meaningful and lasting change. I strive to provide a safe, supportive space for healing, self-exploration, and growth. Treatment is always individualized and may include psychotropic medications, targeted supplements, self-help resources, spiritual guidance (when aligned with your beliefs), and holistic wellness strategies. Together, we will build a thoughtful plan that honors your experiences, values, and overall well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process is personalized and collaborative. During our first session, I take time to understand your goals, concerns, and overall well-being so we can create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Every session is centered on your needs, preferences, and progress. As we work together, we regularly revisit your initial goals to track your progress, make thoughtful adjustments, and identify additional ways to support your continued growth and healing. My aim is to ensure you feel heard, supported, and confident in the care you’re receiving every step of the way.

Great in every way

I had tried a few other therapists recently and was feeling hopeless because they were not good experiences. I did feel better with how this initial visit went, she listened and made me feel heard and gave me responses that made me feel validated. She also gave me good feedback on things I can do to help myself moving forward. I am feeling better about working with her and would recommend her to others.

Asana was great. Process was very easy. I was nervous at the start but she quickly set the tone and made me feel comfortable. She listened and asked all the right questions. She was very easy to talk to and answered my questions clearly. Felt hopeful after walking away from our session. I recommend her and Thrive Mental Health to anyone looking for help.

I booked a same day appointment with Thrive Mental Health Clinic and was seen a few hours after booking online due to the expedient and efficient efforts of Asana Aruna, NP. She reached out to me via text and sent me all my onboarding paperwork via Tebra. During my appointment, she was thorough in her assessment and quick to resolve the issue I was seeing her for. The only issue I had with the appointment was that there were quite a few issues with visual and audio quality. The connection was poor on her end and she seemed unable to find a quiet, comfortable environment with strong internet from which to take the appointment.

Asana was amazing! I have learned to navigate and hide my disability for so long that opening up about it is always difficult for me. I was so nervous at first but Asana made me feel very comfortable. She listened to me without judgment— something that was so important to me. I highly recommend Asana!

Less than 1 year agoRM

2 sessions so far and it has been by far the most comfortable I have ever felt with regarding to my mental health and medication. I feel seen and I feel heard and that’s a wonderful experience.

Less than 1 year agoAA

The experience was great for my first time using Zocdoc. I was skeptical on using the app and I wasnt sure of which therapist I was interested in but I am happy that I was able to connect with Asana and already have another appointment in 2 weeks.

Asana was great and I really enjoyed our session. Looking forward to our follow-up next week while I'm still in treatment and hope to continue to speak with her going forward once I'm released.

March 27, 2025Cody W.Verified patientVideo visit

Asana really took the time to listen to me to figure out where my issues are stemming from. She didn’t make my experience transactional at all, and I can see she really wants to help me and get my mental to a better place. I would recommend her to anyone I know.
