7250 Redwood Boulevard, Novato, CAHello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.
I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of healthcare experience, including several years focused on mental health care. I work with adults experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, sleep problems, and other psychiatric conditions. I provide culturally competent, respectful care and am fluent in both English and Korean, which allows me to support patients more comfortably in the language they prefer. My goal is to make mental health care feel clear, approachable, and tailored to each person’s background and needs.
Hello, and welcome! My name is Dr. Georgiana Anugom, DNP, PMHNP-BC. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over six years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree and have extensive experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder (BPD). I believe in treating each individual with dignity, respect, and empathy. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients from all backgrounds feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their mental health journey.
I am passionate about helping individuals achieve emotional wellness, improve their quality of life, and develop the tools needed to thrive in their personal and professional lives.
Ariane Djeussoung
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person
876 North Mountain Avenue, Upland, CAHi, I’m Mercy Nyeche, DNP, PMHNP-BC. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults regain clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming especially when you’re used to being the strong one for everyone else. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, you don’t have to do it alone.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I take time to truly listen, understand your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan that fits your life, not just your symptoms.
Please note that I do not provide disability paperwork, leave of absence documentation, FMLA forms, legal letters, school accommodation letters, or other administrative forms. The only documentation I provide is a work excuse note for the date of your appointment and, when clinically appropriate based on my evaluation and professional judgment, up to three (3) days off from work. If you require any of the services or documentation listed above, I kindly ask that you schedule with another provider who offers those services. Thank you for your understanding and for helping ensure that your healthcare needs are matched with the appropriate provider.
