Mrs. Evon Czok is a dual-certified Psychiatric and Family Practice Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience. A top graduate of her class (Mount Carmel College of Nursing, 2019, Ursuline College, 2025). She is deeply committed to partnering with clients on their journey toward wholeness. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, binge-eating behaviors, stress, emotional health, and supporting wellness and sustainable change through life transitions.
I believe therapy and psychiatric care should feel human, not clinical, rushed, or impersonal. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported from the very first conversation. I take time to understand your story, your values, and what you want your life to look like, not just your symptoms.
I bring over a decade of experience working in mental health and addiction, and I use a balanced approach that blends evidence-based treatment with compassion and real connection. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all care. Your treatment is collaborative, flexible, and designed to support long-term growth, not just short-term relief.
Above all, you should know that you will not be treated like a diagnosis. You will be treated like a person.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Chico, CA
Finding psychiatrists in Chico starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management often includes a review of symptoms, current concerns, health history, and response to prescribed care over time. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their experience matches what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Chico, the number of local psychiatry offices may be limited, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby neighborhoods like Downtown, Northgate, and South Campus. Psychiatry appointments, especially medication management visits, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment times, whether a psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Chico can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway makes that process easier by letting you enter your insurance details, see estimated costs upfront, and browse psychiatrists who take your plan and are accepting new patients. You can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
