Responsive, Respectful, Results.

Hi there-I'm Art Yeh (pronounced "yay!"). I've been a behavioral health nurse for over 15 years. I've worked as a prescriber in a wide array of settings (inpatient, outpatient, nursing homes, urgent care) in different states.

I've done psychiatric consulting and specialize in many disorders including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorders, and psychosis.

I currently treat adult clients.

I made myself a dynamic behavioral health provider by actively providing virtual behavioral health services to adult clients in 5 different states (Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Nevada, Washington). I currently reside in California.

***Due to tele-health limitations and constraints, if suicidal thoughts are present, please refer to psychiatric urgent care services and/or an in-person provider. In addition, only the client is allowed during all sessions.

***Should you require assistance with all paperwork please note that it requires 3 months of prior consistent treatment. Thank you.

As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of clinical experience, I bring something distinctive to mental health care: a research-informed approach grounded in real-world compassion. My background as a Sub-Investigator in psychiatric trials keeps me current with the latest treatment innovations, while my Master's from Western University of Health Sciences and ongoing Doctoral studies ensure I'm always expanding my expertise.

I specialize in the conditions that require specialized understanding: ADHD, autism, complex patients, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD/trauma, schizophrenia/psychosis disorders, and substance use disorders, alongside comprehensive treatment for depression, anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. What excites me about this work is that every client teaches me something new about resilience and recovery.

My clinical experience spans diverse settings, from outpatient care to cutting-edge research, giving me a unique perspective on evidence-based treatment. I combine thorough psychiatric evaluations using DSM-5 criteria with personalized medication management, always staying current with the latest advances in psychiatric care.

What I want you to know is this: your mental health journey matters to me both professionally and personally. I'm committed to providing care that's not just clinically excellent, but deeply respectful of your individual experience and goals.

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 Northridge

Finding the right psychiatrist in Northridge starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how those medications are working over time. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) may be the right fit. Both can prescribe and manage medication, and both are available through Headway.

Northridge is part of the San Fernando Valley, and the number of psychiatrists practicing locally can be limited. Expanding your search to include virtual appointments can give you access to a wider range of providers across California. When evaluating a provider, consider their experience with your specific concerns, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and how their schedule aligns with yours. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Psychiatry sessions in the Northridge area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
