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.

Cassandra Black

Cassandra Black

Therapist

Virtual • California


I work with adults who want to better understand themselves, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My style is warm, collaborative, and empowering — I believe you are the expert on your own life.

As a graduate of the University of Southern California, my training emphasized both clinical excellence and authentic human connection. I integrate CBT and DBT-informed approaches to help clients develop practical skills for managing emotions, navigating relationships, setting healthy boundaries, and shifting unhelpful thought patterns.

I was drawn to this work because I’ve seen how powerful self-awareness and skill-building can be in transforming not only how we cope, but how we experience ourselves and our relationships. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a grounded, supportive space where you feel truly seen — while also gently challenged to grow in ways that build confidence, clarity, and lasting self-trust.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist 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 California

Finding the right therapist in California starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, it helps to find a licensed provider who has experience with your specific situation. California-licensed therapists include LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and psychologists, each with different training backgrounds and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you commit to a session.

California is one of the most expensive states for mental health care, which makes using your insurance one of the most practical ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to confirm coverage and see an estimated session cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.

With providers available across Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and throughout the state, you can browse therapists offering both in-person and virtual sessions. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can review detailed bios, check real-time availability, and book directly.
