PSYCHIATRY & MEDICATION MANAGEMENT IN HERMOSA BEACH & ACROSS CALIFORNIA

Comprehensive, evidence-based psychiatric care for children, teens, and adults — available in person in Hermosa Beach and via secure telehealth anywhere in California.

UNDERSTANDING PSYCHIATRY

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing mental health conditions. At Lumina Wellness, we address a wide range of concerns — from anxiety and depression to ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and more — using a personalized, whole-person approach.

Care at Lumina Wellness is provided by a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), a licensed clinician with advanced training to diagnose, prescribe, and manage psychiatric medications. PMHNPs combine the medical expertise of a prescriber with the patient-centered approach of nursing, allowing for longer visits, a focus on your overall well-being, and a collaborative partnership in your care.
