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.
Hello, my name is Alexander Valenzuela PMHNP. I specialize in psychiatric medication management and cognitive behavioral talk therapy. If you're struggling with your mental health and realize you want help, you don't have to do it alone. I am looking forward to starting the journey with you to help achieve your best self.
Hello! I’m Najwa Azizi, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and support. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, mood disorders, stress, and burnout through a personalized and collaborative approach to care. With a background in both behavioral health and critical care nursing, I understand the importance of treating the whole person — emotionally, mentally, and physically. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free space where clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to grow, heal, and reach their full potential.
Hi, I’m Eliza Rivera-Mitu, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, as well as the psychiatric challenges in autism. With a background in both psychiatry and family medicine, I take a holistic approach that considers the whole person—not just the diagnosis. I'm passionate about helping you feel heard, empowered, and supported in your mental health journey.
I am a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner specializing in both Family Practice and Psychiatric Mental Health. With a foundation in whole-person, evidence-based care, I integrate medical management with psychotherapy and lifestyle interventions to support mental and physical wellness.
My background spans outpatient psychiatry, primary care, home health, and assisted living settings, allowing me to understand the unique needs of patients across all stages of life. I have extensive experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma-related conditions, and chronic medical comorbidities that impact emotional well-being.
I believe in creating a collaborative, compassionate, and culturally sensitive environment where patients feel heard and empowered to take an active role in their care. My approach focuses on building balance—supporting both the mind and body—through medication management, therapy, and integrative care strategies.
I believe therapy and psychiatric care should feel human, not clinical, rushed, or impersonal. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported from the very first conversation. I take time to understand your story, your values, and what you want your life to look like, not just your symptoms.
I bring over a decade of experience working in mental health and addiction, and I use a balanced approach that blends evidence-based treatment with compassion and real connection. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all care. Your treatment is collaborative, flexible, and designed to support long-term growth, not just short-term relief.
Above all, you should know that you will not be treated like a diagnosis. You will be treated like a person.
I’m Navneet Kaur, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who provides compassionate, affirming, and collaborative mental health care. I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in San Rafael starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how that medication is working over time. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or other conditions that may benefit from 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.
San Rafael is part of Marin County, where demand for mental health care often outpaces availability. Many providers in the area have long wait times or limited openings. On Headway, every provider listed is accepting new patients, and you can review their bios, specialties, and session formats — including virtual appointments — before booking.
Psychiatry in the Bay Area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance 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 before you book. 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.
