Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel human—not rushed or impersonal.

I provide a non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and feel understood. My approach integrates thoughtful medication management with psychotherapy when appropriate, always tailored to your individual needs.

Diagnosis can be an important part of understanding your experience, but it’s only one piece of the picture. I look at your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, as well as the life experiences that shape what you’re going through.

I offer collaborative, grounded care to help you move toward a more balanced, integrative, and holistic sense of well-being.

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Noel, and I'm glad you're here. I'm a psychologist who works with adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and the stress that comes with major life changes. I've spent 16 years sitting with people through some of the heaviest moments of their lives, and one thing I've learned is this: the people who feel the most overwhelmed are often the ones carrying the most strength they haven't yet had room to use. That's where I come in. I work entirely via telehealth, so you can connect with me from anywhere in California — from the comfort and privacy of your own space.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Pasadena

Finding ADHD therapists in Pasadena starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and routines for focus, planning, and follow-through. Psychiatrists can support medication management when that is part of your care plan. Adults and children may also need different kinds of ADHD support, so look for a therapist whose listed specialties, age-group experience, and approach match what you want to work on.

Pasadena has a smaller local therapist market than nearby Los Angeles, so virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. ADHD can also overlap with anxiety, depression, work stress, school challenges, or relationship concerns, which makes relevant experience important. As you compare Pasadena therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Provider bios can help you understand how each therapist works with ADHD and whether their communication style fits your preferences.

Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find Pasadena therapists who are accepting new patients and offer in-person or virtual appointments, and you can check which insurance plans are accepted for your specific coverage on Headway. You can review profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you are ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
