We provide expert psychiatric care for adults across a range of mental health conditions, from anxiety and depression to ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorder, PTSD and eating disorders. Explore each condition below to learn how we diagnose and treat it.
For deeper explanations of symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, read more on the blog.
Every condition here is evaluated by Esder Shin, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Care starts with a full psychiatric evaluation rather than a quick screening, because the same symptom can point to very different diagnoses. Fatigue and trouble concentrating, for example, show up in depression, in ADHD and in an underactive thyroid, and each one needs a different plan.
Most patients are seen for a combination of diagnosis, medication management and brief supportive therapy. Appointments are available in person at our West Los Angeles office and by secure video throughout California. We accept most major insurance plans.

Not Sure Which One Fits?
Plenty of people arrive without a diagnosis, or with one they are not sure about. That is a normal place to start. A psychiatric evaluation exists precisely to answer that question, and it is often the reason someone books a first appointment.
If you were diagnosed years ago and the treatment has not been working, a diagnostic confirmation gives you a second opinion on both the diagnosis and the medication plan.
