Hi, I’m Andre. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) in California, and I’m working toward my Doctor of Nursing Practice. I see adults and older adults by video for depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD and schizophrenia. My visits combine medication management with talk therapy, so you get both in one place. I speak English and Armenian.
I start by listening to what’s going on and what you want to change. Then we build a clear plan together. That can mean starting or adjusting medication, adding therapy skills like CBT, or both. I explain every step in plain language, check in on side effects, and adjust the plan as you go. My goal is to help you feel better and stay better, not just manage symptoms.
Our first visit is about an hour by video, from wherever you’re comfortable. I’ll ask about what’s bothering you, your history, any past medications and what’s worked or hasn’t. You can share at your own pace, and there’s no judgment. By the end, you’ll leave with a clear plan, which may include a medication, therapy goals or both. We’ll also set a follow-up in about two weeks to see how you’re doing and adjust.
