Services

What Axis provides.

Psychiatric evaluation

A full diagnostic assessment — symptoms, psychiatric and medical history, medications tried before, and what you want from treatment.

Medication management

Ongoing prescribing, adjustment and monitoring, with regular follow-up. Controlled medications when the diagnosis supports it and the evaluation is complete.

Psychotherapy

Individual therapy, available alongside medication or entirely on its own. Approaches include ACT, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic work.

About

Andre AlaverdyanPMHNP-BC · DNP(c)

A lot of people who come to me have already been treated somewhere else. Often they were given a diagnosis in fifteen minutes and spent the next few years on medication aimed at the wrong thing.

That’s why I built Axis around the evaluation. Your first appointment is the whole assessment, not a screening — your history, what you’ve already tried, what helped and what didn’t, and what you actually want out of treatment. Getting that part right is most of the work.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in California, currently completing my Doctor of Nursing Practice. I see adolescents and adults by telehealth, anywhere in the state.

I offer both medication management and therapy. Which one leads depends on what you’re dealing with and what you want treatment to do. Some people work with me on therapy alone.

Questions

Common questions.

Do you take my insurance?
Medicare is accepted now. Medi-Cal and private insurance credentialing are in progress — tell us your plan when you reach out and we will tell you where it stands and what the self-pay rate would be in the meantime.
Can I have therapy without medication?
Yes. Some patients come for therapy alone, some for medication alone, and many for both. The evaluation is the same either way, and nothing is prescribed that you have not agreed to.
Where do I have to be located?
Physically in California at the time of your visit. That is a licensing requirement, and it applies while travelling too.
What happens in the first appointment?
Symptoms, psychiatric and medical history, medications you have tried, and your goals. It ends with a working diagnosis and a plan.
Do you prescribe controlled medications?
When clinically appropriate — with monthly follow-up, one designated pharmacy, and a signed treatment agreement. Not at a first visit without adequate assessment.
