Getting to know Volker Nabavi
Hi there, I'm Volker!
My name is Volker Nabavi. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Post-Master's Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Alverno College. I have received training in both medical and nursing fields. This diverse background enables me to apply both medical and nursing theories to manage my clients’ mental health holistically and meet them at their level.
My approach
I believe in a strong connection between our mind and body. My approach is based on the holistic care model involving all aspects of life, including psychological, biological, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. I understand that our mental health is inseparable from these aspects, and our environment, relationships, and lifestyle play crucial roles in our mental well-being.
My focus
My areas of interest include depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, substance use, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and bipolar disorders.
My communication style
I am an avid listener and authentic provider. I meet my clients at their level and provide them with holistic care. I believe in a multifactorial approach to managing my clients’ mental health. Combining psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and medication is the optimal approach that may lead to the best clinical outcomes and long-term relief.
What should a new client know about working with you?
To ensure we have a productive first visit, please be sure to fill out your intake form in advance! During our first visit, we will complete a full mental health assessment and evaluation. There will be lots of questions during this visit, especially regarding your medical and mental health history. Working together to determine an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan is important for your mental health. This may require multiple appointments. Controlled medications may be available from my practice on a limited basis and rarely on the first session. All paperwork such as FMLA and related will only be considered after several sessions of treatment and as clinically indicated. Once we have completed your evaluation, we can then discuss a treatment plan specific to your needs that will get you on the road to feeling better as soon as possible!
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe in a strong connection between mind and body. My approach is based on the holistic care model involving all aspects of life including psychological, biological, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions. I understand that our mental health is inseparable from those aspects and our environment, relationships and lifestyle play crucial roles in our mental health.

My doctor never sent me information regarding how to connect to the call. Not sure they even knew I had an appointment

When I move to California, I had no support. Volker has been come a staple in my support team. He truly cares about me and my well being by even taking our visits a step further and asking what fun things I have going on.
