About the provider
Simply Psych Nursing, A Professional Corporation is a solo private practice lead by myself, Lyleanna Nguyen, PMHNP-BC.
I attended Azusa Pacific University in California and have been treating adults age 18 years old+ for many years. Prior to being a nurse practitioner, I worked in the mental health field, both at inpatient and outpatient facilities and I also have experience being a nurse case manager.
I am ANCC Board Certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and have worked with a variety of mental health disorders which include anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, sleep concerns, adjustment disorders, transitional concerns, and mood disorders.
The human experience can sometimes feel like a series of peaks and valleys. I hope to be of support in these varying moments. My main treatment focus is with psychotropic medication management, though, I strongly believe the combination of medication with the immensely important support of therapy is how we achieve a well-rounded and lasting response.
What does working with a Nurse practitioner look like?
It can look a number of ways, though, will commonly consist of a mix between medication management and supportive psychotherapy modalities.
After our first appointment, we will determine what we believe is the best treatment plan to move forward with. Regular follow ups after initiation of medication treatment are important to ensure we are closely and carefully assessing for any side effects as well as benefits of treatment. In the beginning, it is common to have follow ups ranging from 1-4 weeks which can progress to 1-3 months. Treatment response, as well as treatment type, would play a role in determining the frequency of follow ups.
It is my goal to help you regain and maintain functioning so you can be more present in your own life.
