Getting to know Karishma Narayan
Seeking help takes courage, and finding the right provider can feel overwhelming. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported from our very first conversation. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring years of experience caring for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults across both medical and psychiatric settings.
My background includes extensive work in child and adolescent mental health, as well as experience treating adults and geriatric populations with a wide range of mental health concerns. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions, while recognizing that each person's story and treatment needs are unique.
I take a collaborative, evidence-based, and compassionate approach to care, combining medication management with education, support, and practical strategies tailored to your goals. I believe the strongest therapeutic relationships are built on trust, respect, and genuine connection. Together, we can create a treatment plan that helps you feel more balanced, confident, and empowered in your daily life.

I had a Telehealth visit with Nurse Practitioner Karishma Narayan and she was professional, compassionate, and understanding. She listened to me express all of my goals and needs and asked all the right questions to fully understand my past medication and medical history. It’s really hard to find compassionate healthcare providers, so I really appreciate the time and care she took to make me feel heard and supported. She created a comfortable, judgment-free environment and made the entire process easy and reassuring. I’m grateful for her thoughtful approach and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and empathetic provider.
