We combine thoughtful medication management with a whole-person approach — addressing not just your symptoms, but the sleep, stress, and life factors behind them.
Because real progress isn’t just about feeling better. It’s about building something stronger.

For many of our patients, the hardest part isn’t the struggle itself — it’s not knowing whether what they’re feeling warrants help, or where to even begin looking for it.
So they wait. They manage. They push through.
But managing isn’t the same as thriving. And waiting rarely makes it easier.
If you’ve been carrying more than you’d like to admit — burnout, anxiety, sleepless nights, emotional exhaustion, or a quiet sense that something is off — this is your sign that it’s okay to take the next step. We’ll handle the rest.

Board-Certified Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner
My name is Peris Rodriguez, and I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
I work with adults who are often doing everything right on the outside. Showing up to work. Taking care of their families. Keeping it together. And yet, beneath the surface, they’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling in ways they’ve never had the space to fully talk through.
That space? That’s what we create here.
We also provide specialized care for adolescents aged 13 and older — particularly those struggling with ADHD, anxiety, and mood challenges. Parental consent is required for patients under 18.
Our approach is integrative, meaning we look beyond diagnosis and medication to understand the lifestyle, hormonal, sleep, and stress factors shaping your mental health. Every treatment plan we build is thoughtful, personalized, and paced around your comfort because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Ongoing psychiatric care centered on safe, effective, and individualized medication treatment. We monitor progress, adjust as needed, and keep you informed at every step so you always feel confident in your care.
A whole-person approach to mental wellness. Alongside traditional psychiatric treatment, we evaluate sleep quality, stress levels, hormonal health, and lifestyle factors building a plan that treats the root, not just the surface.
From prenatal anxiety to postpartum depression, we provide specialized psychiatric support for women navigating the emotional and hormonal challenges of pregnancy and motherhood with care that is always safe, sensitive, and personalized.
For adults living with depression, anxiety, or both — we offer diagnostic clarity, evidence-based medication management, and ongoing support tailored to high-functioning individuals who need more than a surface-level solution.
Trauma-informed psychiatric evaluation and treatment for adults experiencing PTSD or trauma-related symptoms. We focus on stabilization, symptom relief, and long-term recovery — always at a pace that feels safe for you.
Every service we offer is available via secure telehealth — giving adults across California and Utah access to high-quality psychiatric care without the wait, the commute, or the disruption to their daily lives.
You’re the one everyone else relies on. You show up, you deliver, you keep it together — even when you’re running on empty. The anxiety doesn’t clock out when you do. The mental fog follows you into meetings. The exhaustion has become your baseline, and you’re not sure when that happened.
You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. We work with professionals navigating burnout, high-performance stress, anxiety, and ADHD — helping you regain the clarity, focus, and emotional steadiness that your life and career demand.


Whether you’re preparing for motherhood, in the thick of the postpartum period, or navigating the emotional weight of midlife — your mental health deserves the same care and attention as every other part of your wellbeing.
We specialize in women’s psychiatric care that accounts for the hormonal, emotional, and life-stage factors unique to your experience. Compassionate, non-judgmental, and always built around what you’re actually going through.
Life doesn’t always fit into neat categories — you may be working, between jobs, studying, or simply trying to get through each day. Many adults struggle with anxiety, depression, low motivation, or emotional exhaustion that affects focus, relationships, and daily functioning. Whether symptoms have been long-standing or recently started, you deserve support that helps you understand what you’re experiencing and why.
We provide psychiatric care for adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, burnout, and difficulty with focus, attention, and emotional regulation. This includes individuals who are undiagnosed or unsure of what they are experiencing. Our goal is to provide accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and support to improve daily functioning and overall mental well-being.


The teenage years can be overwhelming — academically, socially, and emotionally. For adolescents struggling with ADHD, focus, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation, early support can make a significant difference in their confidence, performance, and quality of life.
We provide psychiatric care for adolescents aged 13 and older, working closely with both the patient and their family to build a treatment plan that supports healthy development. Parental consent is required for all adolescent patients.
Booking is simple. Choose a time that fits your schedule through our contact form and we’ll take it from there. New patients are always welcome, and telehealth appointments are available across California and Utah.
Your initial evaluation isn’t a rushed intake form — it’s a real conversation. We ask the right questions, listen carefully, and take the time to understand not just what you’re experiencing, but the full context of your life and history.
After your evaluation, we’ll put together a personalized treatment plan that’s clear, actionable, and explained in plain language. You’ll know exactly what we’re recommending, why, and what to expect as you move forward.
Mental health is not a straight line and we don’t treat it like one. We check in regularly, adjust your care as your needs evolve, and stay by your side through every step of the process.

I was prescribed a medication, but the side effect of headache lasted longer than expected, and when I made that known, she immediately switched me to a better medication that treated the same symptoms I was having and now I don’t have any headache.

A Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) is an advanced practice registered nurse with specialized training in psychiatric care. Like psychiatrists, PMHNPs are trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions — and can prescribe and manage medications. PMHNPs often have greater availability and more flexible scheduling, making quality psychiatric care more accessible.
Simply book an appointment through our contact form at the bottom of this website. Your first step is an initial psychiatric evaluation — an unhurried, in-depth conversation where we get to know you, understand your history, and begin building a care plan together. We’re currently accepting new patients and look forward to hearing from you.
