Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I believe therapy and psychiatric care should feel human, not clinical, rushed, or impersonal. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported from the very first conversation. I take time to understand your story, your values, and what you want your life to look like, not just your symptoms.

I bring over a decade of experience working in mental health and addiction, and I use a balanced approach that blends evidence-based treatment with compassion and real connection. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all care. Your treatment is collaborative, flexible, and designed to support long-term growth, not just short-term relief.

Above all, you should know that you will not be treated like a diagnosis. You will be treated like a person.

Have you ever left a therapy session feeling lighter, only to return the next week feeling right back where you started?

You’ve done the work. You’ve learned the tools and the language to describe your thoughts, feelings, and patterns. Yet the relief often feels short-lived. Insights help in the moment, but they don’t always translate into lasting change in your day-to-day life.

It can feel incredibly frustrating or even hopeless. You might start wondering if therapy is even worth it.

Deep down, you just want to feel less anxious... less stressed... less burned out. You want to feel like yourself again. You want to feel truly connected to others. And you want to stop feeling like a hamster stuck on a wheel, running endlessly with no off-ramp.

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. With nearly 20 years of working with caregivers, helping professionals, and many others seeking relief. I have witnessed these same struggles time after time. The frustration, the exhaustion, and for many, a deep and unshakable pain that feels like it never ends. The work doesn’t stop, and yet, things go nowhere.

Through my clients, I’ve learned that what usually brings people to therapy is often just the surface symptom of deeply held core beliefs and personal stories that once served them well but now keep them stuck and, at times, repeating a vicious cycle.

Therapy should feel safe, even when it stretches you beyond your comfort zone. If you’re tired of taking three steps forward only to slide two steps back, and you’re ready to step off the hamster wheel, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward genuine healing and self-discovery.

Francisca Amaral

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello, my name is Francisca, I have experience working with community mental health, with undeserved communities and individuals from all walks of life. I've gained a lot of experience helping clients heal from traumatic experiences, process grief, and facilitated their empowerment to take on the reins of their healing journey.

I am a proud Mexican American woman who believes that we all possess inherit gifts and capacity to heal and when identified and fostered this can be our catalyst for change. I am interested in learning each person's story and offering ongoing evolving support through the alliance that we will cultivate.

I am well versed in a myriad of modalities that are trauma informed as well as psychodynamic, somatic treatment frameworks. Overall, I am an ongoing student. Aside from my professional trainings, I have learned via my individual healing journey, and from the individuals I have helped. I am passionate about helping each individual realize their path to healing.
