Maddie Asghari

Maddie Asghari

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Los Angeles, CA


Hello, my name is Maddie Asghari. As a bilingual (English/Farsi) board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide culturally sensitive care for complex psychiatric needs, including ADHD, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice serves those who may have felt misunderstood by traditional approaches, particularly within diverse cultural contexts.

I specialize in complex presentations because mental health exists within your entire life experience, relationships, cultural background, and personal history. Whether you're managing ADHD alongside trauma, dealing with OCD symptoms that emerged during difficult periods, or navigating personality patterns as adaptive responses, I work to understand how these experiences shaped you and what healing means within your cultural framework.

My approach emphasizes comprehensive assessment and integrated treatment planning. Many patients come to me after years of confusion or fragmented care. I conduct thorough evaluations, identify overlooked patterns, and develop holistic approaches that address your full spectrum of needs rather than treating conditions in isolation.

I'm committed to creating a partnership where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Speaking both English and Farsi allows me to connect with clients in their preferred language, honoring cultural nuances. Together, we'll work toward authentic flourishing in all areas that matter to you and build lasting resilience.

IMPORTANT: For current availability, visit https://mentalhealthpractitioners.com/ or call or text us anytime at 415-968-6515—we make it super easy! Intake forms are required before your first appointment. You can text us your info or email us at [email protected]. Please send us a picture of your insurance information and photo ID!

Mental health has long been treated as the forgotten side of healthcare — and for me, that's exactly why it matters so much. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner serving clients across California through telehealth and in-person care, I specialize in helping people navigate depression, anxiety, and ADD/ADHD. I believe that when mental health struggles go unaddressed, everything else in life suffers — and that healing is not only possible, it's necessary. When I'm not supporting my clients, you'll find me out in nature, getting lost in a good movie, or discovering new music — small reminders of the joy and balance I encourage my clients to find for themselves.

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.
