Gurleen Hans

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Beverly Hills, CA


Hello, I'm Gurleen Hans, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a deep commitment to supporting individuals on their mental health journey. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have been a registered nurse for five years, working with diverse populations and cultures throughout California.

My background includes specialized training in psychiatric medication management, comprehensive diagnostic assessments, and treating a wide range of mental health conditions. I work with adolescents and adults across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings, giving me a thorough understanding of care at varying levels of treatment intensity. This experience has reinforced my belief that recovery looks different for everyone and can happen at any stage of life.

My expertise spans the full spectrum of psychiatric care, from initial evaluation and accurate diagnosis to ongoing medication management and thoughtful treatment refinement.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and co-occurring substance use disorders. I also work with adolescents navigating mood disorders and behavioral challenges unique to their developmental stage. My work with Assertive Community Treatment teams has deepened my insight into supporting individuals with complex needs within real-world community settings.

What drives my work is a genuine love of caring for others and helping people find meaningful relief from their symptoms. I believe effective mental health care requires clinical expertise, compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a true willingness to listen to each person's unique story. I am here to partner with you in achieving your goals.

Dr. Kimberly Rohde

Psychologist

Virtual • California


I have always had a deep passion for working with children, teens, and their families. With nearly 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, which I earned in 2012. Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting young people through many of life’s challenges.

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with individuals across ages, cultures, and experiences. This connection is grounded in authenticity and relatability, which is nurtured through a strong therapeutic alliance. I believe therapy offers a safe space to explore, learn, and grow—and I strive to help clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop into their best selves.
