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.

Hello, I'm Art, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who discovered a passion for helping others later in life. My approach is grounded in motivational interviewing and person-centered therapy, creating a supportive environment where trust, acceptance, and meaningful change can flourish.

As a combat veteran, I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step toward seeking help. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, clarify your goals, and grow into the person you want to become.

I have worked with adults, couples, families, and adolescents across a variety of clinical settings, supporting individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, psychosis, and life transitions. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) along with the Flash Technique to help clients process difficult experiences while minimizing emotional overwhelm.

I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), an integrative treatment that can help deepen insight, promote healing, and support lasting change when traditional approaches alone may not be enough.

My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and respect as you move toward greater healing, resilience, and self-discovery.

Fanta Ritchie

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Fanta—yes, like the soda (and yes, there's a story behind it, but of course it has nothing to do with soda!). With nearly 20 years in the mental health field and over a decade providing therapy, I've walked alongside children, families, couples, and adults as they’ve faced some of life’s toughest moments.

I truly believe that “the struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.” Life brings challenges, but how we respond to them shapes our path forward. I’ve been there too, and I know how important it is to feel supported as you find your way through.

My goal is to work with you—not for you or around you, but with you—as you build the tools and confidence to navigate whatever life throws your way. We’ll work together to recognize negative thought patterns, build self-compassion, and strengthen your connection with yourself and those around you.

More than anything, I’m here to create a space that feels safe, empathetic, and judgment-free. A space where you can be fully you, speak your truth, and start to heal.
