Let's find the words together. You may be carrying more than people realize, whether that's ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, burnout, or ongoing stress. You don't have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), Certified Case Manager (CCM), and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), with more than 15 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, case management, dialysis, and nephrology. That background helps me see the whole person, including how physical health, medical conditions, and life stressors affect your mental health.

I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, supportive therapy, and objective ADHD testing for adults. I also welcome clients living with chronic kidney disease or receiving dialysis. Insurance coverage varies by plan.

Jonathan Laski

Therapist

Virtual • California


As a Christian therapist, I walk with clients to strengthen and support them in learning self compassion, understanding their worth, finding insight and living wisely. I have studied psychology and marriage and family therapy for over 13 years and have been in practice as a therapist for 7 of those years. I have intentionally learned and applied principles and practices which help clients sustain growth from hurts, unprocessed feelings and lack of direction toward more energy, enjoyment and purposefulness in life again.

I look forward to consulting with you to see if our therapeutic work would fit with you!

Amanda Arana

Amanda Arana

Therapist

Virtual • California


I've been in private practice for 12 years and work with young adults aged18 - 30. I’ve always been interested in the way our experiences, relationships, beliefs, and thought patterns shape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. This interest led me to begin my career by working with an anti-human trafficking organization providing resources and aftercare services for rescued and recovered teen girls. I’ve also worked for local school districts as a high school special education crisis counselor and in-class behavior interventionist.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active, and continuing to learn about health and whole-person wellness.
