We offer personalized psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and any other mental disorders. Our experts evaluate, prescribe, and monitor your mental health for medications to help you feel better, faster, through in-person or telehealth sessions. Safe, supportive, and results-driven treatment starts here.
We begin with an in-depth psychiatric evaluation that covers your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle to provide an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plans.
Not all the disorder treatments are the same. So we make psychiatric medication plans based on your specific condition, goals, and response to treatment, with continuous adjustments as needed.
We prioritize your care over insurance restrictions. This allows us to offer truly personalized and comprehensive treatment without limitations often imposed by insurance companies.

Steve AmlawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The office communication is very good, but where they shine, for me, is in their medical care providers. I work with Cristian Cuevas, NP, who is as good as it gets. He's incredibly invested in his patient's well being, and he's made more progress with me than I've had in over a decade of treatment, and he's done it in just a few months so far. I can't ask for more. Lucas CruzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. May Faustino did a great job with my treatment. She allowed me to express myself and was very kind. Raul Ramirez (Eph)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely helpful and incredibly professional.

Amber DelgadoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have seen 2 different PNPs since October 2024 through Orange Coast Psychiatry and each visit was informative, professional, and has helped our family immensely. Richard Samedra and Griselda Hernandez have excellent listening skills and take time to evaluate the needs of their patient’s with kindness and empathy. They offer convenient in office or zoom sessions which works great for our family as we are very busy and don’t always have time to meet in person. They provide additional resources to compliment their care so that their patients receive a well rounded treatment plan. I really value their care. I recommend to anyone looking for sincere, empathetic services. Jeremy NicholasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
