Maybe you've noticed yourself having a really hard time at work or school, snapping at people you love, or feeling like your thoughts won't slow down long enough to catch your breath. Maybe it's a low mood or dip in self-esteem that follows you into every room, or a restlessness that keeps your mind racing even when your body is exhausted. Perhaps your focus feels like it slips through your fingers no matter how hard you try to hold onto it. You may be wondering whether things could feel different, and whether medication or other treatment could help. You deserve care and support that meets you where you are. I'm Nyka Saint Jean, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Los Angeles, CA. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I also focus on cultural and ethnic issues, the pressures that can come from straddling multiple cultures, and feeling unseen in more traditional treatment spaces. My approach is integrative psychiatry, treating the whole person- body, mind, spirit, and lifestyle-, not just symptoms. Healing isn't linear, and neither is our work together. It's collaborative, it evolves, and it centers your goals, not mine. If you're ready to explore what support could look like, I'd love to talk. Reach out to schedule an appointment

She was amazing!!! So attentive, I have struggled with feeling being heard and she made me so comfortable. I have been nervous about getting diagnosed because I felt like the process would be hard and complicated but she made it super easy, and within two weeks I was able to be put on a medication for my diagnosis!
