Psychiatric Mental Health NP

After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!

I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.

During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to serve the community and provide support to those who need it while reducing barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.

I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.

Gurleen Hans

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Los Angeles, CA


Hello, I'm Gurleen Hans, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a deep commitment to supporting individuals on their mental health journey. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have been a registered nurse for five years, working with diverse populations and cultures throughout California.

My background includes specialized training in psychiatric medication management, comprehensive diagnostic assessments, and treating a wide range of mental health conditions. I work with adolescents and adults across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings, giving me a thorough understanding of care at varying levels of treatment intensity. This experience has reinforced my belief that recovery looks different for everyone and can happen at any stage of life.

My expertise spans the full spectrum of psychiatric care, from initial evaluation and accurate diagnosis to ongoing medication management and thoughtful treatment refinement.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and co-occurring substance use disorders. I also work with adolescents navigating mood disorders and behavioral challenges unique to their developmental stage. My work with Assertive Community Treatment teams has deepened my insight into supporting individuals with complex needs within real-world community settings.

What drives my work is a genuine love of caring for others and helping people find meaningful relief from their symptoms. I believe effective mental health care requires clinical expertise, compassion, cultural sensitivity, and a true willingness to listen to each person's unique story. I am here to partner with you in achieving your goals.

Joshua Dieterman

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


Hi there, I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner whose practice is rooted in one foundational belief: every person deserves compassionate, individualized mental health care — regardless of background, circumstance, or the barriers and challenges they've faced along the way.

I focus on the treatment of depression, anxiety, and life's traumas, with a particular dedication to individuals from underserved and marginalized communities who have historically faced systemic barriers to quality mental health care.

All care is grounded in evidence-based practice, blending the most current clinical research with individualized judgment and patient-centered values. As a lifelong learner, I actively pursue continuing education and emerging best practices in psychiatric care — because excellence in medicine requires ongoing growth, humility, and a willingness to be taught by both science and the patients who make this work meaningful.

I welcome patients of all backgrounds and identities, and I am honored to walk alongside each person on their journey toward healing, wholeness, and hope.
