I’m a psychiatrist who practices from a psychodynamic perspective, with attention to emotional depth, meaning, and the ways our histories shape how we experience ourselves and others. My work focuses on understanding symptoms in context — as expressions of what is happening within your mind, your relationships, and our society.
Hi, I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with veterans, first responders, and people in high-stress or high-responsibility roles. I also provide care in English, Russian and Ukrainian languages.
I’m here to make this journey feel gentle, welcoming, and human. I keep things clear and simple so you can focus on what matters, not the overwhelm. My style is warm, encouraging, and a little poetic—because softness helps us breathe. Let’s take this step together, one calm moment at a time.
I'm Holly, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 23 years of clinical experience in psychiatric care and maternal-child health. This dual background has shaped how I see mental health: not as something separate from the rest of your life, but deeply woven into every transition, relationship, and challenge you face. My work taught me that women's mental health—especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and hormonal transitions—requires specialized understanding and individualized care.
I provide comprehensive psychiatric treatment for adults across a broad spectrum of conditions: perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD and trauma-related disorders, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia spectrum conditions. I have particular expertise in women's mental health throughout the reproductive years, though I welcome anyone seeking compassionate, evidence-based care.
My approach is straightforward: effective treatment should fit your real life. I combine psychiatric interventions—including medication management when appropriate—with practical therapeutic strategies and lifestyle modifications that actually work for you. I'll help you understand what's happening, why it's happening, and what options make sense for your unique situation.
What matters most to me is seeing you as a whole person—not just a diagnosis. You have strengths, values, relationships, and goals that deserve attention alongside your symptoms. Whether you're managing a long-standing condition, processing trauma, navigating major life changes, or simply seeking better balance, you deserve a provider who recognizes your potential and partners with you toward sustainable wellness.
My goal is to help you overcome the challenges you are facing in a safe and comfortable environment to help you improve your quality of life. My passion is helping those with substance use disorders, including alcohol and opioid use disorder, safely detox from the substances and work towards a meaningful and long-lasting recovery. With a decade of experience serving a wide range of patients I am a dual-certified family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.
Hello, I'm Jennifer Eastman, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide comprehensive care for the full spectrum of complex psychiatric conditions, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, schizophrenia and psychosis disorders, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice is dedicated to supporting individuals who need specialized expertise across multiple areas.
What sets my practice apart is my extensive experience with co-occurring conditions and complex presentations. Many patients come to me after struggling to find providers comfortable with their multifaceted needs. I understand that conditions like ADHD and autism often intersect with trauma, that personality patterns can develop alongside substance use, and that psychotic symptoms can complicate other diagnoses.
My approach combines evidence-based treatments with genuine empathy and respect for your unique journey. Whether you're seeking your first diagnosis, managing multiple conditions, or looking for someone who can see the bigger picture of your mental health, I bring the expertise and patience needed to address complexity without judgment.
I believe in collaborative care where your voice guides treatment decisions. Together, we'll work to understand your conditions, develop effective strategies, and build resilience. Real progress begins with feeling truly understood. I'm here to support you with clinical excellence and compassionate care every step of the way.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Auburn
Searching for psychiatrists in Auburn starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing psychiatric care. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners may also prescribe and manage medication. Therapists focus on talk therapy, and some people choose therapy, psychiatry, or both. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
Auburn is a smaller city, so local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger California markets. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond nearby offices while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in California. Psychiatry visits, especially medication management appointments, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and what each bio says about communication style and session structure.
Psychiatric care in Auburn can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, making it easier to review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
