Online PMHNP care for California adults

Psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management by secure video for adults living anywhere in California — from Los Angeles and San Diego to the Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Central Valley. Care is provided by Tyler Davis, PMHNP-BC, ADHD-CCSP, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner licensed in California.

Who this is for

MindCare works with California adults who are done waiting months for a psychiatric appointment and want a clinician who actually specializes in how the adult brain works. Most patients come to us for one of these:

  • Adult ADHD — first-time evaluation, a second opinion, or continuing treatment after a move or a provider who stopped prescribing.
  • Anxiety — persistent worry, panic, or physical symptoms that therapy alone hasn't resolved.
  • Depression — low mood, motivation, and energy, including treatment-resistant cases.
  • Burnout and executive dysfunction — high-functioning professionals whose systems have stopped working.
  • Ongoing medication management — refills, dose adjustments, and side-effect troubleshooting with real follow-up.

How online PMHNP care works in California

  1. Take the free assessment. A short, evidence-based screening covering attention, mood, anxiety, and related symptoms. You get your results immediately.
  2. Book your evaluation. A focused video visit with Tyler covering history, current symptoms, prior treatment, and your goals.
  3. Get a plan. Diagnosis where warranted, a treatment plan, and prescriptions sent to your California pharmacy when medication is appropriate.
  4. Follow up. Measurement-based follow-up visits and secure messaging so treatment gets adjusted, not forgotten.

You need to be physically located in California at the time of your visit. All you need is a private space, a phone or laptop with a camera, and a stable connection.

Controlled substances and California rules

MindCare prescribes controlled substances — including ADHD stimulants when clinically indicated — to patients located in California, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington. Prescribing follows federal DEA telemedicine requirements and California's controlled-substance rules, including review of the CURES prescription monitoring database. Medication is never promised before an evaluation; whether a stimulant, non-stimulant, or non-medication approach is right depends entirely on your clinical picture.

Full details are on our DEA telehealth rules page.

Cost, superbills, and HSA/FSA

MindCare is a self-pay practice, which means longer, unhurried visits and no insurance company deciding your treatment plan. After each visit you can request a superbill to submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted. Current rates are listed on the pricing page.
