Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood. I believe mental health care should be collaborative, practical, and tailored to your unique needs. My approach combines evidence-based treatment with real-life understanding whether that includes therapy, lifestyle changes, or medication management when appropriate. I value honesty, cultural awareness, and meeting you where you are. My goal is to help you feel more stable, confident, and in control of your mental health not just during appointments, but in your everyday life.

Dr. Tierra Patterson

Therapist

Virtual • California


You may be the one everyone relies on, the strong one who keeps moving forward even when things feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to carry everything on your own.

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, burnout, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear to have it all together on the outside but feel exhausted, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Therapy can be a place where you finally slow down, reflect, and focus on your own needs.

Dr. Andrea Che

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Hi and welcome! My name is Dr. Andrea Che and I am a licensed psychologist in California. I am only offering virtual sessions currently.

I specialize in working with teens and adults (16 & up). I see clients who come from/identify with diverse cultural backgrounds, sexual identities, and gender identities. My specialty areas include depression, anxiety, work/school stress, cultural diversity issues, intergenerational trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions (environmental, chronic illness, relationship, etc.) to name a few.

While I am passionate about working with clients on a wide range of concerns, I especially enjoy helping clients overcome social anxiety so they can manage social fears, have meaningful connections and feel more confident.

Dr. Janine Franklin

Therapist

Virtual • California


My approach to therapy is compassionate, and empowering. I believe meaningful change happens when my clients feel genuinely heard and supported in a safe, nonjudgmental space. My style is warm, authentic, and practical, I listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and work with you to identify patterns, build on strengths, and create sustainable change.

I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strengths-Based practices. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, whether that means addressing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or navigating major life transitions.

Clients often describe me as calm, approachable, and insightful. I see therapy as a partnership, one where you can explore, heal, and grow at your own pace. My goal is to help you gain clarity, confidence, and balance so you can move forward with greater peace and purpose.

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Sometimes going through something worrisome, upsetting, or even inspiring, could make us want change. And change can be difficult. Maybe you and/or your kid are feeling overwhelmed and stuck, and aren’t sure how to manage it. I provide therapy for adolescents and adults, as well as parent consultation/support through a relational and integrative approach. Therapy could be an opportunity to gain insight into challenges to navigate difficult life situations. I can provide support in handling issues related to anxiety, self-esteem, transitions (grief & loss/parent separations), ADHD, or other emotional challenges.
