Andrew Monasterio

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who provides psychiatric diagnostic evaluations and medication management. Originally from Tennessee but culturally identifying as a Californian, I blend my Southern hospitality, West Coast inclusivity, and home-grown empathy to create a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free atmosphere. I use a flexible, modern biopsychosocial approach to authentically connect with people to fully understand their unique selves, journeys, struggles, and goals. We will collaboratively develop a holistic, whole-person wellness plan tailored to your individualized needs and goals. Unlike the old-school authoritarian model of psychiatry, I will share information about risks, benefits, preferences, and values in exploring different options and finding what best makes sense for you. If medications are part of our plan, it will be guided by science and evidence-based practice, combining my knowledge and experience in neurobiology and psychopharmacology.
