Empowering Emotional Well-Being with Holistic Psychiatry for Individuals Ages 15-50 in California
I help adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety, sleep issues, and ADHD who are seeking a return to a more positive emotional state with increased focus and productivity, better sleep, and more fulfillment and joy in their lives. I offer patient-centered holistic care that includes a unique blend of treatment modalities including medication, herbal and plant medicine, vitamin therapies, talk therapy, and lifestyle coaching for optimal wellness.
I specialize in working with those part of vulnerable populations such as children, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities who have not had positive experiences with psychiatric treatment in the past, as well as working with peripartum women who are preparing for pregnancy, managing symptoms of PPD, and seeking holistic mental health support through their transition into motherhood.
Welcome to my practice, my name is Torri and I am a Board Certified (BC) Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) - (Advanced Generalist) from West Coast University (2020). I have been a nurse for over a decade and I am nationally certified and California state licensed to assess, diagnose, treat (including prescribing medications and providing psychotherapy), and evaluate those suffering from mental health issues across the lifespan.
My clinical background consists of inpatient geriatric psychiatry, neonatal intensive care, inpatient rehabilitative care, long-term skilled nursing, adult inpatient neuroscience, outpatient trauma-related disorders, and outpatient post-incarceration psychiatric care.
My focus areas include treating marginalized communities like BIPOC, adolescents, the perinatal community, and treating depressive & anxiety disorders, and ADHD.
I believe that my own personal lived experiences and ability to thoughtfully listen and truly understand my patients and their concerns sets me apart from other practitioners. My struggles with mental health including postpartum depression, being a woman & belonging to a minority community, a history of not being heard or listened to by medical providers, a history of trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and raising a son with ADHD have shaped me into the practitioner I am today.
At A Sound Mind BH, I take an integrative, holistic, patient-centered approach to help patients achieve optimal mental well-being. This may include psychopharmacological/medication management, psychotherapy, assisting in making lifestyle changes, and other complementary and alternative modalities. The goal is to provide safe and effective care utilizing the most current and up-to-date evidence-based practice. The mission is to proudly serve and provide nonjudgmental care to those in need regardless of race, spiritual beliefs, lifestyle choices, sexuality, financial status, or disability.
Sometimes it can be difficult to even realize that we may need some help or that something is just “not right.” So it's understandable that talking to a complete stranger can bring up certain thoughts, feelings, etc., which is why I follow your lead when formulating individualized treatment plans. I take into account the most up-to-date evidence-based research along with your feelings, your thoughts, and your opinions, regarding your mental health. Therefore, my promise is to always keep you at the center of your mental health care.
