Nicholas Cooper

Hello! My name is Nick, and I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) from Johns Hopkins University (California License #95041195). I am passionate about providing high quality, comprehensive, and integrated mental health care across the lifespan.

With experience working in emergency, inpatient, and outpatient psychiatry, I enjoy supporting patients through a wide array of services, including comprehensive psychiatric assessments and evaluations, diagnose mental, emotional, and behavioral health conditions, develop and implement individualized treatment plans, and prescribe and monitor medications and other appropriate treatments
