Getting to know Diana Bush

As a dedicated psychiatric nurse practitioner with a Master’s in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, my mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that addresses the unique needs of each patient. I specialize in comprehensive evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy, ensuring treatment plans are collaborative, individualized, and focused on achieving optimal mental health outcomes. Committed to holistic care, I work to empower patients in their journey toward improved well-being, integrating the latest clinical knowledge with empathy to support long-term recovery and resilience.

What should a new client know about working with you?

New patients can expect a collaborative, compassionate, and personalized approach to mental health care. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy, ensuring patients’ voices are central to all decisions. I prioritize open communication, safety, and a nonjudgmental space where patients feel heard and valued. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan to support well-being and long-term goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my process involves conducting comprehensive evaluations to assess symptoms, establish diagnoses, and collaboratively develop treatment plans. I prescribe and manage medications, ensuring patients understand benefits and side effects, while monitoring efficacy through regular follow-ups. I integrate supportive therapy, psychoeducation or cognitive behavioral techniques during sessions and adjust care based on patient feedback and outcomes. Collaboration with other providers or referrals to in-person care are made as needed.

    I have never had a virtual appointment with someone so attentive and invested in long term solutions. It was really nice to have a dialogue about treatment rather than just reiterating my medication history.

    Dr. Bush was wonderful to talk to. She listened carefully to my concerns, was very engaged, and was easy to communicate with. I will remain a patient of her practice, as she made me feel heard and comfortable throughout our appointment while we discussed my diagnosis and path to treatment.

    best psych evaluation I ever had!
    Verified patient
    Diana Bush was incredibly thorough in her assessment and was intent on listening to my concerns. We spent over an hour to confirm a diagnosis, combing through my experiences from childhood through adulthood to find patterns. When discussing potential medications, she was sure to have a thorough understanding of medications I have tried in the past and gave appropriate recommendations using that knowledge. She also went over different options for medications, potential side effects, proper dosage and regimen, and next steps depending on how I react to the medication. Overall I felt Diana was incredibly professional and I am confident in her assessments and recommendations.
    Verified patient
    Great experience. Only issue was the amount of confirmation texts I received prior to the actual appointment- like 10! She is an amazing Dr, though, so very happy in general.
    Verified patient
    Very thorough and very empathetic. Made sure that I was able to afford treatment, and understood my financial situation. Diana was great!
    Dr Bush took the time to really listen to what I struggle with. She truly does care about her patients and I am grateful I got the chance to chat with her.
    Verified patient
    Listened to all my concerns and did a thorough assessment. Walked me through my insurance coverage, address any medication side effects and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. I appreciated how approachable the conversation felt. She had good humor and was professional.
    Diana was so great! She was so thorough and such a great listener. I felt very heard and like she was invested in my history. She brought up and was attentive to aspects of ADHD that many providers don't consider. 10/10 would recommend.
    Diana was very friendly and knowledgeable and listened to all of my issues and answered every question. I highly recommend her!
    Verified patient
    Diana was incredible - I felt so comfortable talking to her about the issues I was having. She was a great listener, and really helped me determine a good plan of attack for the issues that I am dealing with. I feel confident that my mental health is in good hands with her care to assist me through and find the right medication for me.
    Verified patient
    Super friendly. Really great experience.
    Verified patient
    I met with Diana Bush for an initial intake appointment and had a great experience with her. She made an effort to understand the root of my diagnoses and took my input and experiences into consideration in her evaluation. She was fun to talk to and very knowledgeable about medications she suggested and provided information no other healthcare professional about the medication I was already on. It's so obvious from even the first appointment that she genuinely cares, and that's already 70% of the battle. I'm looking forward to working with her to develop a psychiatric plan that finally works for me.
    Working with Diana was such a positive and pleasant experience. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and very resourceful. I felt like I was having a conversation with a trusted friend, someone who I just felt very comfortable sharing valuable information with. I am looking forward to our next meeting soon. I have insurance with Kaiser, however, my experience with the medical professionals have not been too positive. I am glad someone recommended Diana to me.
    My experience with Diana is a solid 5 ??
    She was a great listener
    Diana is extremely knowledgeable and smart. She puts you at ease and is easy to talk to— she listens patiently. When you contact her through the messaging system she responds the same day. I needed her help with something and could not believe how persistent and helpful she was in helping me work everything out. There are weekend appointments available, which might be really useful for some people
