Hi, I'm Evelyn! As a seasoned psychiatric nurse practitioner with over four years of experience, I'm passionate about helping children, teens, and adults navigate their mental health journeys with compassion and understanding.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard and empowered in their healing process. Through my work with diverse populations—from children as young as six to adults with complex mental health challenges—I've learned the importance of meeting patients exactly where they are, without judgment and with genuine care.

I specialize in ADHD assessment, medication management, and coaching across all ages. Having witnessed how ADHD impacts every aspect of life, I take a comprehensive approach beyond medication. I help families understand ADHD systems, develop coping strategies, and create academic accommodations for success.

My experience includes managing complex psychiatric conditions and treatment-refractory illnesses requiring specialized medications like lithium and dual-antipsychotic treatments. I believe in holistic care, emphasizing how nutrition, physical activity, mindful practices, and sleep hygiene support mental wellness alongside medication.

What sets my practice apart is collaborative care. I work closely with patients and families to create individualized, achievable treatment goals. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD, or other conditions, I prioritize building therapeutic relationships where you feel safe sharing your experiences.

I maintain high standards with comprehensive malpractice insurance, current California licensure, and DEA certification. My approach includes medication monitoring and regular prescription checks for your safety.

My practice is built on the foundation that everyone deserves compassionate, personalized mental health care. I look forward to partnering with you to achieve the balance and peace you're seeking.

Virginia Rubio

Virginia Rubio

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I'm Virginia Rubio, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Wilkes University and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington.

Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent more than a decade as a registered nurse in settings that shaped how I practice today. I worked telemetry and medical-surgical units at a community hospital, cared for patients at a state psychiatric hospital, and provided care in correctional and juvenile health settings. Those environments put me alongside people at some of the hardest points in their lives, often people who had been dismissed or overlooked elsewhere. That's where I learned that being genuinely listened to is itself part of treatment.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, and sleep difficulties. I have a particular interest in women's mental health — perinatal concerns, hormonal and life transitions, and the specific pressures women often carry without naming them. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and I see patients throughout California by secure video.

Outside of work, I recharge with my family, time outdoors and on my feet, and a mindfulness practice I've kept up for years. Those things aren't separate from how I practice; they're a large part of why I believe daily habits and emotional health can't be pulled apart.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Los Angeles

Finding psychiatrists in Los Angeles starts with knowing what type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric nurse practitioners may also prescribe and manage medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach before booking.

In a large city like Los Angeles, having many options across neighborhoods like Downtown LA, Santa Monica, Silver Lake, and the Valley can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider practical factors like appointment availability, office location, commute time, and whether virtual appointments fit your schedule. Psychiatric care may involve shorter, less frequent medication management appointments than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand how each psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they focus on, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Psychiatric care in Los Angeles can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your plan. You can compare profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re 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.
