Hi, I’m Christina! I’m a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of experience in healthcare. I earned my bachelor’s degree from UCLA, master’s from Cal State LA, and post-graduate certification from National University.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in family practice, urgent care, and emergency settings, which has given me a broad understanding of how physical and mental health are connected.

I specialize in supporting individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over three years of experience helping adults navigate depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma. My approach is holistic, evidence-based, and deeply personal. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.


I specialize in medication management combined with brief therapeutic support. I believe in educating my clients, so they feel empowered to make informed decisions about their care. Whether you are starting medication for the first time or looking to fine-tune an existing regimen, I provide a safe, supportive space where you are heard and respected.


I am licensed in California and Arizona and offer secure telehealth sessions that fit your schedule, including evening and weekend availability.

My goal is simple: to help you feel balanced, confident, and in control of your mental health.

Tanasia Betts

Tanasia Betts

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is Tanasia Betts and I am a licensed professional counselor. Here's how I can help you reach your goals.

Trauma

Many people struggling with anxiety and depression are carrying the effects of unresolved trauma. Together, we'll explore the experiences and patterns that continue to impact your life while using evidence-based approaches to support lasting healing. In a safe, supportive space, you can break unhealthy cycles, build resilience, and reclaim your sense of peace and purpose.

Christian Counseling

I believe healing is strengthened through both faith and therapy. I integrate evidence-based counseling with biblical principles to help fellow believers navigate life's challenges, find hope, and experience emotional, mental, and spiritual growth in a supportive, Christ-centered environment.

Couples Therapy

Every relationship faces challenges, but you don't have to navigate them alone. I don't take sides—I choose the relationship, creating a safe space where both partners can feel heard, rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and reconnect. If you and your partner are ready to invest in your relationship, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
