Taira Chaudry

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) practicing in Washington State, with over 14 years of clinical experience across psychiatric and medical settings. My practice centers on treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma-related disorders, working with patients who haven't found relief through conventional approaches alone. I take an integrative, whole-person approach to care, combining evidence-based psychiatric treatment with attention to the nervous system, lifestyle, and the underlying patterns driving symptoms.

Trained at both UCLA and UCSF, I bring a rigorous, evidence-based foundation in mental health care. Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent years in critical care, where I built expertise in the mind-body connection. Not every patient needs to be on a prescription medication, and I'll work with you to determine the best treatment approach for you.

I also bring direct experience in psychedelic medicine as a medical provider for patients in FDA-approved psychedelic clinical research trials. This has given me valuable insight into emerging treatment options and I draw on that experience to help patients understand where these treatments may fit into their care.
