I'm Sinat Aleje, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over ten years of experience in the mental health field. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals across a variety of clinical settings, which has deepened my understanding of the emotional, psychological, and social challenges people face. I specialize in treating adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder.

Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and heard during our sessions. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where healing can begin, and where clients are empowered to take an active role in their care. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and am committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based care that evolves with your journey.

If you're looking for a thoughtful, collaborative partner in your mental health care, I’d be honored to work with you.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I’m Chinenye Udoh, MSN, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C, a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I work with adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, schizophrenia, and other mental health challenges.

Many of the people I work with have spent years knowing that something doesn’t feel quite right but struggling to put it into words. You may be having difficulty focusing or completing tasks, experiencing overwhelming anxiety, struggling with motivation, noticing significant changes in your mood, or simply feeling exhausted from trying to manage everything on your own. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard rather than judged and understood rather than rushed.

Hans Kulla-Mader

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Los Angeles, CA


Hey there, I'm Hans. A little about what I do: I have conversations. I bring my whole self to them: my curiosity, training, humor, and life experience—then together, we'll work toward whatever you're trying to change, understand, or get unstuck from.


I enjoy working with creatives of any age, as well as people in their twenties and thirties navigating anxiety and major life transitions. Drawing on CBT, relational, and humanistic approaches, I tailor our work together to how you want to be helped, rather than fitting you into one method. In my experience, when two people show up fully and commit to the process, moments of insight emerge that carry well beyond our sessions.
