Evelyn Ciampa

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


Hi, I'm Evelyn! As a seasoned psychiatric nurse practitioner with over four years of experience, I'm passionate about helping children, teens, and adults navigate their mental health journeys with compassion and understanding.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard and empowered in their healing process. Through my work with diverse populations—from children as young as six to adults with complex mental health challenges—I've learned the importance of meeting patients exactly where they are, without judgment and with genuine care.

I specialize in ADHD assessment, medication management, and coaching across all ages. Having witnessed how ADHD impacts every aspect of life, I take a comprehensive approach beyond medication. I help families understand ADHD systems, develop coping strategies, and create academic accommodations for success.

My experience includes managing complex psychiatric conditions and treatment-refractory illnesses requiring specialized medications like lithium and dual-antipsychotic treatments. I believe in holistic care, emphasizing how nutrition, physical activity, mindful practices, and sleep hygiene support mental wellness alongside medication.

What sets my practice apart is collaborative care. I work closely with patients and families to create individualized, achievable treatment goals. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, ADHD, or other conditions, I prioritize building therapeutic relationships where you feel safe sharing your experiences.

I maintain high standards with comprehensive malpractice insurance, current California licensure, and DEA certification. My approach includes medication monitoring and regular prescription checks for your safety.

My practice is built on the foundation that everyone deserves compassionate, personalized mental health care. I look forward to partnering with you to achieve the balance and peace you're seeking.

Shelley Bailey

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


With over 17 years of experience as a mental health provider working with diverse populations facing serious mental illnesses and life challenges. My extensive work in crisis stabilization units, as well as inpatient and outpatient settings, has given me a clear understanding of how resource scarcity negatively impacts patient outcomes. These insights drive my unwavering commitment to delivering compassionate, holistic, and patient-centered care. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I specialize in medication management for conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders. I am focused on empowering patients to restore their emotional well-being through a supportive and comprehensive approach. I am in the process of launching a remote, private telehealth practice via the Headway platform. My mission is to provide accessible care that emphasizes holistic healing, hope, and long-term wellness.

You deserve care that is thoughtful, evidence-based, and deeply personalized.

I am a dual board-certified, doctorate-prepared Psychiatric Mental Health and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, as well as a Certified Psychedelic Provider. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults (ages 9–65+) navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD/ADD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and complex mood concerns.

My approach is collaborative and holistic. I look beyond symptoms to understand the full picture of your life - including stressors, relationships, medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, diagnostic clarity, or a more integrative approach to healing, we will create a plan tailored specifically to you.

Clients often describe my style as compassionate, thorough, and grounded. I believe in clear communication, shared decision-making, and ensuring you feel informed and empowered about your treatment options. My goal is not simply symptom reduction - it is helping you restore balance, confidence, and a meaningful quality of life.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we will build a path toward emotional stability, mental clarity, and overall wellness.
