Misbah Riaz, NP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
CA
Hi there, I'm Misbah! Welcome, and thank you for trusting me with your care. Together we'll work on a plan that feels right for you and addresses your mental health needs. My focus I'm here to support clients through any mental health need they're facing, with particular expertise in anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Wherever you are in your journey, I want you to feel heard, supported, and never alone in the process. My approach My approach centers on treating every patient as an individual, guided by clear communication, active listening, and collaboration in shaping your plan of care. I also draw on tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help reframe unhelpful thoughts and reconnect you with what matters most. My communication style My communication style is warm, direct, and judgment-free. I believe in meeting clients where they are and creating a space where honesty feels safe. I check in often to make sure we're on the same page, and I welcome questions and pushback. This is your care, and I want you to feel like an active voice, a driver of this journey, not a passenger. My journey to mental healthcare My path in behavioral health began 10+ years ago in bedside nursing, where I wanted a bigger role in my patients' mental health journeys, rather than brief inpatient care. Working in ICU/Telemetry during the COVID-19 pandemic deepened my understanding of grief, PTSD, trauma, depression, and anxiety. My goals for you I work with patients to set treatment goals that are realistic, meaningful, and truly theirs. We start by talking through what "better" actually looks like for them, then break that down into small, manageable steps so progress feels achievable instead of overwhelming. We also check in regularly to see what's working and adjust what isn't.
