I’ve taken the ADHD Care Pledge to support safe and thoughtful stimulant use

Hi! I’m Misgana, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with 10 years of nursing experience. I provide care to clients across New York and California, specializing in anxiety, depression, ADHD, and insomnia. My master’s in nursing and psychiatric specialization from National University, provided my strong basis in evidence-based mental health care.

As a psych NP, I treat a broad spectrum of mental health conditions in addition to my specializations.

It’s important to me that clients feel understood, not analyzed. The relationship comes first, and from there we explore goals and authentic growth using a holistic, people-centered, CBT-based approach.

We’re likely a good match if you…

  • love an easygoing chat that still goes deep
  • are trying to feel more comfortable in social situations
  • are trying to build healthier routines
  • want to feel more organized without the pressure
  • want help sorting through big life changes
