Dr. Carol Gijima

I’m Dr. Carol, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of nursing experience and more than six years dedicated to mental health care. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach starts with listening, understanding what you’re experiencing, what matters to you, and what you hope to change. Together, we’ll find a treatment approach that fits you and your life.

My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and focused on understanding you as a whole person because you are not defined by your symptoms. I believe in meeting you where you are, taking the time to truly listen and understand what matters to you, and working together to create a treatment plan that fits your life, goals and your wellbeing.

Our first session is a chance for me to get to know you beyond your symptoms; what you’ve been experiencing, what matters to you, and what you hope will improve. We’ll talk through your history, current concerns, and treatment goals, and together we’ll develop a plan that feels comfortable, realistic, and tailored to your needs.
