As a PMHNP-BC who specializes in autism, complex cases, OCD, personality disorders, PTSD/trauma, schizophrenia/psychosis disorders, and substance use, I've built my practice around understanding that every person's mental health journey is unique—especially when multiple conditions interact or when traditional approaches haven't worked.

I also provide comprehensive treatment for depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder, always with an understanding that these conditions often overlap and influence each other in complex ways. What I want you to know is this: your experiences are valid, your struggles make sense in the context of your life, and there's no such thing as being "too much" for treatment.

Whether you're masking autistic traits, battling compulsive behaviors, managing intense emotions, processing trauma, questioning reality, or struggling with substances, I meet you exactly where you are without trying to force you into a predetermined mold. My approach combines evidence-based treatments with deep respect for your individual needs and experiences.

You deserve a provider who doesn't see complexity as a problem to solve, but as a roadmap to understanding how to best support your unique path to wellness.

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.
