Getting to know Nasr Basir Balla
Hi there, I’m Nasr (Nash-er) a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Do you feel overwhelmed trying to overcome your emotions while navigating life’s ups and downs? You are not alone. Together we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. With daily practice and self-understanding, a calmer more fulfilling life is possible. While medication management is my primary focus, I view medication as a means to achieve the stability needed to attain your goals. I offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management services to individuals 14 and older in a non-judgmental and safe therapeutic space. If medication is right for you, together we can develop a tailored treatment plan that will help you set and reach your treatment goals.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She was a no show. Called support and they “noted” it. And didn’t even attempt to set up a new appointment, instead instructed ME to go do it for them, lmao. What a joke…

Great as always!

Knowledgeable; while a little bit judgy. Was really offended when I asked about side effects of the meds and what it would be if I don't take it vs take it.
Took 30 min just for me taking tests in the 1 hour appointment. Also not a doctor to diagnose adhd.

January 2, 2024Sean G.Verified patient
After several failed attempts with other therapists, I was happy to finally find someone who is a great listener, very personable and easy to talk to! I am sad to be moving out of state which will cause me to lose her as my doctor. She set a very high bar that won’t be easy to match.
November 21, 2023Robert M.Verified patient

Efficient and thorough! Gave very insightful education on pros and cons of medications and welcomed my thoughts and input. Very pleasant and confident demeanor. I felt comfortable and safe during the appointment.
October 24, 2023Initials hidden
She was very knowledgeable and helped me get started down a path towards a diagnosis! That said, I don’t think our personalities are a good fit. I think she would be GREAT if you’re just trying to get a prescription filled or get some questions answered as efficiently as possible. But with this being my first foray into mental healthcare, I found her approach a bit sterile and lacking in the warmth/compassion I needed to feel comfortable. Also, she has a HUGE caseload and I felt like I would be just a number. Ultimately, I found another provider.

I always worry about first time appointments because you never know how it’s going to go. She was amazing and has helped me more than any doctor has before.
