Leland Estrella

Hello! I’m Leland Estrella, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C, a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Hollister, California. I currently provide virtual psychiatric care to adults ages 18 and over throughout California and Hawaiʻi. In the future, I plan to open an office in Hollister or a surrounding community for in person visits and expand my services to include children and adolescents.

I specialize in evaluating and treating ADHD in adults, helping patients better understand attention, executive functioning, and how symptoms affect work, relationships, and everyday life. I also provide treatment for depression and anxiety using an individualized, evidence based approach tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

My goal is to create a welcoming, supportive, and judgment free environment where you feel comfortable asking questions, sharing your concerns, and actively participating in your care. I believe the best outcomes come from working together to develop a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and supports your overall well being.

Originally from Waiʻanae, Oʻahu, I bring the values of compassion, respect, and community into my practice. I previously served on active duty as an Air Force medic and later became a nurse and officer in the Air Force Reserve. With three combat deployments, I understand the unique challenges that veterans, service members, first responders, healthcare professionals, and their families may face.

Whether you are seeking an ADHD evaluation, medication management, or support for depression or anxiety, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.

My approach is collaborative, straightforward, and individualized. I believe treatment should be tailored to each person’s needs, goals, and stage of life. There is no single approach that works for everyone. For some patients, medication can be an important part of treatment. For others, the focus may be on education, therapy, lifestyle changes, behavioral strategies, or additional support services.

I work closely with patients to create practical, personalized treatment plans that support daily functioning, emotional well being, and lasting success.

My goal is to provide thoughtful, evidence based care while helping patients better understand their symptoms and treatment options. When additional services are needed, I am happy to connect patients with trusted therapists, testing providers, or other specialists to ensure they receive the appropriate level of support. My practice is committed to safe, responsible prescribing and does not routinely prescribe benzodiazepines for ongoing treatment.

I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation so we can briefly discuss your concerns, what you are looking for in treatment, and whether my practice is a good fit for your needs. If we decide to move forward, we will schedule a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation.

The initial evaluation is a 60 minute appointment where we review your current concerns, symptoms, medical and psychiatric history, strengths, and treatment goals. We will work together to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs.

Follow up appointments are generally 30 minutes and focus on your progress, response to treatment, medication management, and any new concerns. My goal is for you to leave each appointment feeling heard, informed, and clear about the next steps in your care.

I currently provide virtual psychiatric care to adults ages 18 and over.
