Calm, collaborative psychiatric care
at your pace

Kara Zertuche, PMHNP-BC

Telepsychiatry throughout California
Accepting new patients beginning April 2026

I’m a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing telepsychiatry throughout California, including here at home in Humboldt County.

As a PMHNP, I provide the same psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management you would receive from a psychiatrist — with a collaborative, whole-person approach.

My work is grounded in careful listening and seasoned clinical judgment. I work collaboratively with you — you are always the expert on your experience.

Care is offered at an individualized pace that supports meaningful and sustainable change.
