Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


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.

If you're a woman feeling stretched thin by the relationships in your life — a partner, your family, the demands of parenting — you don't have to sort through it alone. I help women navigate relationship stress, anxiety, grief, and the harder seasons of life: losing someone you love, adjusting to a health condition, or facing a change you didn't choose. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Social Work from Azusa Pacific University, and my goal in every session is simple: you leave feeling heard, understood, and a little more capable than when you arrived.

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.

You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling to move forward despite your best efforts to make a change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, substance use, or the lasting effects of trauma, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy focused on helping you understand the deeper roots of your struggles, develop healthier ways of coping, and break free from patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself, understood without judgment, and supported as a whole person rather than defined by your symptoms or past experiences. My goal is to help you build a stronger relationship with yourself, find greater balance in your life, and create meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to stay stuck in the same cycles or figure everything out on your own. If you're ready to better understand yourself and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life, I'd be glad to help you get started.
