Maddie Asghari

Accepting patients in California & Arizona for medication management!

As a bilingual (English/Farsi) psychiatric nurse practitioner, I bring comprehensive mental health care to diverse populations. My clinical experience spans multiple settings—from private homes to hospitals and emergency departments—providing me with unique insight into the intricate relationship between physical and mental wellbeing.

My approach is holistic and patient-centered. I look beyond symptoms to understand your complete story, including personal history, current challenges, and environmental factors. This comprehensive perspective allows me to develop individualized treatment plans that address your specific needs.

My training at prestigious institutions like UCLA Health has equipped me with the clinical expertise to manage complex cases with composure and empathy. My additional background in nutrition enriches my practice, allowing me to incorporate evidence-based dietary approaches that complement traditional psychiatric interventions.

I create a judgment-free therapeutic environment where you can express yourself openly. Our relationship is collaborative—we'll work together to develop strategies that fit your unique circumstances. I provide education about medications and treatment options, empowering you to make informed decisions about your care.

My ultimate goal extends beyond symptom management to helping you build resilience and develop practical tools for sustainable mental wellness. I'm committed to supporting you throughout your recovery journey, celebrating your progress, and adapting our approach as needed.

I believe in treating the whole person, not just symptoms. Your complete story matters—your experiences shape both challenges and strengths. I take time to understand your mental health concerns, physical wellbeing, personal history, and current circumstances to develop treatment plans addressing your unique needs.

Our relationship is collaborative. You bring expertise about your lived experience; I contribute clinical knowledge. Together, we form a partnership focused on your healing where your voice guides our work.

My experience across diverse healthcare settings—from inpatient units to community clinics and home care—provides perspective on different treatment approaches. This allows me to create flexible care plans that may include medication management, lifestyle modifications, skill-building, and therapeutic interventions tailored to your specific circumstances.

I practice evidence-based care while honoring your individual needs and preferences, staying current with advances in psychiatric treatment to offer the most effective options available.

I create a safe, non-judgmental space where your experiences are acknowledged with compassion. I prioritize clear communication, explaining conditions and treatment options in accessible language that empowers informed decision-making.

Being bilingual in English and Farsi allows me to provide culturally sensitive care to diverse communities. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful improvements in daily functioning and quality of life through attentive listening, collaborative problem-solving, and consistent care that evolves with your changing needs.

In our sessions together, you'll gain a clear understanding of your medications—how they work, what benefits to expect, and how to manage any side effects. We'll track your progress closely and make adjustments when needed to find what works best for you.

Beyond medications, you'll learn practical coping skills that fit your daily life and complement your treatment. These might include stress management techniques, sleep improvement strategies, or communication tools that help in difficult situations.

Our regular check-ins will help us find the right balance of medication and other approaches for your unique needs. I believe in creating personalized treatment plans that combine medical interventions with lifestyle strategies.

You'll leave our sessions with increased knowledge about your mental health condition and concrete tools to manage symptoms. My goal is to help you build confidence in handling challenges while working toward lasting wellness and improved quality of life.
