Angelica Luciano

I am board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner serving patients throughout California utilizing telehealth to offer psychiatric care in your home, and it is my goal to make psychiatric care accessible, comfortable, non-judgmental, and authentic.

I treat common psychiatric conditions, including anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, and mood disorders such as major depressive disorder and attention deficit disorder, and use multiple modalities, including medication management, mindfulness, education, and supportive, brief talk therapy to treat you as a unique individual and not a text-book. I use a bio-psycho-social framework. Understanding that psychiatric illnesses may have biological causes, like thyroid problems, the effects of certain medications, or genetic predisposition. Psychiatric conditions may also have psychological causes, such as the lack of coping tools/skills, difficulty processing experiences, and situations, or adverse early childhood events. Last but not least, psychiatric conditions may have sociological explanations: overwhelming expectations of one’s environment, including occupational/educational stress or environmental changes.

I am a graduate of Gonzaga University and have been a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner for 5 years. I have over 18 years of experience in the healthcare field, beginning my professional journey as an Emergency Medical Technician in the United States Air Force. I completed my bachelor of Nursing at Indiana State University before becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, children, grandchildren, and my animal family (Parrots, Dogs, Ducks, Snakes, and a Mini Pig). I love animals, and you can ask to visit one of the packs at your appointment or include your animals. You may find this helps reduce your anxiety and relax during your sessions.

I am dedicated to helping to helping my patients achieve optimal holistic wellness and to lead active, meaningful, and fulfilling lives. My goal is to help you reveal a life in which you thrive, not just survive.
