Georgia Barnes, MSN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC

I am a dual board-certified Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with more than 25 years of clinical experience and board certifications as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions through personalized medication management and supportive psychotherapy.

I believe meaningful mental health care begins with trust, respect, and collaboration. My approach is patient-centered, recognizing that every individual's experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. I work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that promotes emotional wellness, resilience, and long-term recovery.

My priority is to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to participate in your care. Together, we focus not only on reducing symptoms but also on building healthy coping strategies, restoring balance, and improving overall quality of life. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, or co-occurring substance use concerns, I am committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care that supports your journey toward lasting wellness.

Helping people find joy and meaning in their lives is my biggest passion in my work. However, life has its difficulties, including painful experiences, and when you need help solving what is in the way of getting from one day to the next or pursuing dreams, I want to help you figure out what is happening and help you develop tools to empower you to manage what seemed impossible and to create the life you desire.

Hello, I'm Mojgan. If depression, anxiety, “overthinking” and past traumas are affecting you and your relationships, please know there is hope, and healing is possible. I offer a warm, respectful, and emotionally safe space where you can explore life’s challenges with understanding and compassion. Drawing on over 20 years of clinical experience, I work collaboratively with you to help deepen self-understanding, heal from past traumas, strengthen relationships, and navigate changes. Reaching out for the first time takes courage, and you do not need to have the right words for it yet. If any of this sounds like what you have been carrying, I would be glad to hear from you, and we can start wherever feels most comfortable for you.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • San Luis Obispo, CA


Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and reaching out for support can be an

important first step toward feeling better and creating meaningful change. I am a

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with several years of experience working with

children, adolescents, adults, and families.

My experience includes working with community programs, mental health services, and

private practice. I have worked with individuals and families experiencing trauma,

emotional and behavioral challenges, family conflict, and difficult circumstances

involving foster care. I have also worked with youth transitioning to adulthood and

individuals in the justice system. In addition, I have provided clinical supervision to

interns and delivered professional training within the field.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, respected, and empowered to make

change. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, drawing from CBT, DBT,

Family Systems, and trauma-informed care. Together, we can identify patterns that may

be getting in the way, develop practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and work

toward your set goals.
