Zlatoslava (Z) Karga, DNP, PMHNP-BC Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Doctor of Nursing Practice with six years of clinical experience serving individuals across the lifespan. As a U.S. veteran, I bring a deep respect for resilience, service, and the diverse paths that shape each person’s mental health journey.

My practice is grounded in a holistic approach to assessment and treatment—one that honors not only where you are in life, but who you are as a whole person. I believe effective care goes beyond symptom management. It requires curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to think outside the box to find solutions that truly fit your needs.

I am committed to building long-term therapeutic relationships based on trust, transparency, and mutual respect. Whether we’re exploring innovative treatment options or navigating life’s challenges together, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.

Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or simply “not like themselves.” Whether the root is mental health, hormones, or a mix of both, my goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your body and mind — and create a plan that actually helps you feel better.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience treating complex chronic conditions, acute medical issues, and a wide range of mental health concerns. My background in the emergency room strengthened my ability to stay calm, think clearly, and support patients through some of their most difficult moments.

I am double board‐certified as an FNP‐BC and PMHNP‐BC, which allows me to integrate medical and psychiatric expertise. This means I look at the full picture — hormones, sleep, stress, mood, lifestyle, and physical health — to understand what’s driving your symptoms.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and evidence‐based. I take time to listen, explain things clearly, and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your life. You deserve care that feels supportive, personalized, and focused on long‐term wellness.

If you’re ready to feel more balanced, focused, and in control again, I’m here to help you get there.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gardena

Finding the right psychiatrist in Gardena starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and in some cases provide talk therapy. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also prescribe and manage medication and are another option available through Headway.

Gardena is part of the South Bay region of Los Angeles County, and residents here often search across nearby cities like Torrance, Carson, Hawthorne, and Manhattan Beach to find the right provider. On Headway, you can review detailed provider bios to learn about their background, approach, and specialties before booking. Many providers offer both in-person and virtual appointments, giving you flexibility based on your schedule and preferences.

Psychiatry sessions in the Gardena area can be costly without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
