Book an appointment with Stephanie Larsen, PMHNP-BC, Psychiatric & Mental Health,

I’m Stephanie Larsen, PMHNP-BC, founder of Nueva Vida Psychiatry. I provide thoughtful psychiatric care for adults across California, with a focus on women’s mental health, PMDD, anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions.

If you look like you have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, irritable, exhausted, or unlike yourself inside, you’re not alone. I help patients get real answers and a treatment plan that makes sense.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and never rushed. I combine careful evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and practical integrative strategies that support lasting change.

I have a special interest in hormonal mood changes, PMDD, perinatal and postpartum mental health, and the stress many first-generation adults carry.

For patients seeking attention or focus evaluations, I use a thorough two-visit assessment process and prescribe thoughtfully and conservatively when clinically appropriate.
