Nina Ling

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with Empower Psychotherapy who works with adolescents and adults facing mood disorders, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and life stressors.

I began my career in nursing out of a deep commitment to caring for others. After seven years at the bedside, I felt called to connect more deeply—supporting mental health and emotional well-being at the root.

That calling led me to earn my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Arizona State University, with a focus on psychiatry and mental health care. Today, I offer online mental health care for individuals navigating mood disorders, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and life stressors.

As a PMHNP-BC in Arizona, my goal is to make the therapeutic process feel safe, supportive, and truly human. I’m an active listener who values your story and works collaboratively to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped for healing.

I know it’s not always easy to reach out for help, so first—thank you for being here. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I approach our work as a true partnership. I believe you already hold the tools to create meaningful change in your life—my role is to help you uncover and use them with clarity and care.

I offer a gentle, minimalistic approach to online therapy, using techniques like motivational interviewing and CBT, always tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm, our virtual counseling sessions are designed to feel like a conversation, not a checklist.

This is a space where you can be heard—not rushed—and where healing unfolds through trust, presence, and collaboration.

We’ll begin with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, where I’ll take the time to understand your story—what brings you in, what you’re struggling with, and what you’re hoping to change. From there, we’ll move into follow-up sessions guided by your goals, adjusting our path as needed to reflect your progress and preferences.

Whether you’re working through anxiety, depression, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I offer online mental health care that’s supportive, flexible, and grounded in empathy. My approach to telehealth psychiatry is designed to help you make sense of what you're experiencing and move forward at your own pace—with clarity, compassion, and collaboration.
