Michael Nguyen

Michael Nguyen

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Fresno, CA


Hello! I'm Michael Nguyen, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health journey with compassion and evidence-based care.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), specializing in psychiatric mental health. My foundation in psychology from UC San Diego, combined with my nursing training, allows me to approach mental health from both a scientific and deeply humanistic perspective.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations across the San Francisco Bay Area. I specialize in treating individuals with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. I have extensive experience providing care to those with complex mental illness and substance use disorders, having worked in community mental health settings where I supported some of our most vulnerable populations.

My expertise includes traditional medication management and psychotherapy, as well as innovative treatments like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and esketamine (Spravato) for treatment-resistant depression. I'm committed to cultural humility and destigmatizing mental health challenges, ensuring every client feels respected and understood.

Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked as a medical scribe and performance improvement coordinator, which taught me the importance of clear communication and patient-centered care. I believe in meeting people where they are and collaborating with them to find the path forward that works best for their unique circumstances. I've also worked extensively with LGBTQ+ youth and individuals from marginalized communities, and I understand the unique challenges that systemic barriers can create in accessing quality mental health care. I stay current through continuing education to provide the highest quality care.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Fresno, CA


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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Fresno, CA


I am Sharon Atwood, a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Adult Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of hands-on clinical experience serving adults and older adults. I hold active, unrestricted licenses in Florida, New York, California, and Idaho, and I provide care through both telehealth and outpatient settings.

My academic journey reflects a deep, enduring passion for mental health and human behavior. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology magna cum laude from Kean University, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing from Florida Atlantic University and a Post-Master's Certificate in Psychiatric-Mental Health from the University of Miami, both completed summa cum laude. I maintain board certifications through ANCC and AANP and hold active membership in the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, the American Psychiatric Nurses Association, and the California Association of Nurse Practitioners.

My clinical background spans adult and geriatric primary care, integrated psychiatric services, crisis intervention, and outpatient psychiatric medication management. This diverse experience has prepared me to address a wide range of conditions with both skill and compassion, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, OCD, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, sleep disturbances, grief, anger management, and complex co-occurring presentations. I welcome individuals with treatment-resistant symptoms and those still searching for the right provider.

I specialize in working with adults aged 18 and older, helping to uncover root causes and develop plans for genuine growth. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, combining psychiatric medication management with integrative wellness strategies that address sleep, nutrition, exercise, stress, and meaningful connection. I believe that expert care works best alongside healthy lifestyle habits and a sense of humor.
