Getting to know Peter Pham

Hi! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) graduate from Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science, where I earned my Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing. I also hold bachelor's degrees from West Coast University and the University of California, Los Angeles. Growing up with stutters has helped me develop empathy for mental health. I am well-versed in multiple disorders such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I have experience working with patients of all ages in various settings, addressing complex mental health issues. I am bilingual, speaking Vietnamese and English.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I will establish trust, be a good communicator, and listen to you. I will try to meet your goals and come up with a comprehensive plan to take care of your mental health needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I will focus on building rapport with psychotherapy. From there, I will discuss your needs with medication management or other lifestyle choices that can help you become mentally better.

  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

I love this provider. He is straight to the point and makes it very easy and efficient to get medications. I have been seeing him for months now. Doesn’t waste people’s time like other providers.
Verified patientVideo visit
Finally felt understood with my ADHD symptoms. I had providers in the past treat me for anxiety and depression but I truly feel like ADHD is the root of it all. It was eye opening when Dr. Pham gave me examples of ADHD that I could relate to and explanations behind the symptoms. Would definitely recommend seeing him for anyone that suspects they may have ADHD.

Peter is a lifesaver, a godsend, he's just the best. He will listen to you, normalize your experiences, and provide the science and the facts to explain what is happening in your brain. I have a logical explanation for what I'm going through now, and I look forward to continuing this journey with Peter - he is giving me my life back. Thank you, Peter! I thoroughly recommend making an appointment with Peter and at least exploring if it's the right fit for you if you're looking for a provider.

Pretty helpful and insightful psychiatrist. I appreciated the scientific breakdown he gave me and presented it in an easy way to help me process.
Verified patientVideo visit
Peter Pham was highly knowledgeable and attentive to my needs, offering valuable advice tailored to my struggles. However, his stutter was significantly debilitating and made it difficult to follow the conversation. While it didn’t overshadow his expertise, it would have been helpful to know about it in advance.

So kind and knowledgeable. I felt they took everything into consideration instead of dismissing or discarding ancillary symptoms. The provider’s internet connection seemed poor several times during the video call, but they repeated themselves when it stabilized.
Verified patientVideo visit
I really appreciated NP Peter’s approach to the intake session. It was purely clinical but looked at me as a whole person with my individual experiences. I felt seen and heard. I also greatly appreciated his own vulnerability. Looking forward to my follow up!
Verified patientVideo visit
Very helpful office staff. Peter was kind, and really listened. He made me feel very safe and comfortable. I had an issue with the medication. Peter and his staff worked diligently getting me what I needed. Thank you all!
Video visit
Amazing experience. He actually takes the time to understand YOU and YOUR STORY and how it affects you. Not just writing Rx based off of medical textbooks definitions of diagnoses.
Verified patientVideo visit
I had a great experience and didn’t feel rushed. The provider listened to my concerns, asked good questions, and wasn’t quick to diagnose me with a textbook answer. We have a treatment plan and I left feeling relieved that my concerns were being heard.
Verified patientVideo visit
Truly one of the best psychiatrists I've worked with, he listened and was educated on ADHD and it's relation to hormone differences in sexes, I felt heard and seen as a patient.
Video visit
I am so happy to have found Peter. He was able to put into words exactly how I feel as a person with inattentive ADHD. Lately, I’ve had significant difficult refilling my prescription, in part due to the national shortage, AND in part to my previous care providers failing to provide the adequate support or assistance I needed. Peter made it clear he would help in any way possible given the unfortunate situation the prescription shortage has created. Very thankful to be under his care!
Video visit
NP Peter was great. He took me through multiple scenarios surrounding my symptoms and I was able to relate to many of them. He created a plan to move forward and find solution for a better quality of life.
