Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in California

Hello! I'm Lied Eckblad Metcalf, a dedicated and compassionate psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). With my Master’s degree from Frontier Nursing University and a Bachelor’s degree from New York University, I have a solid foundation in nursing and mental health care. I bring two decades of experience to my patients, having worked in various settings such as outpatient clinics, hospitals, public schools, summer camps, and skilled nursing facilities. As a PMHNP, I offer comprehensive psychiatric care to individuals aged 6 to 90, helping them manage conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use disorders. I am all about making my patients feel comfortable and understood. I believe in tailored treatments, compassionate care, and being a supportive presence in every patient’s journey toward better mental health. Reach out if you need someone who listens, cares, and provides expert mental health support.

For over 15 years, I dedicated myself to being a clinical and educational psychologist, forging deep connections with countless students and their families. This passion and dedication were recognized when I received the "Outstanding Psychologist of the Year" award from the Los Angeles Association of School Psychologists. With such a rich history in the field, transitioning into private practice was the next logical step. Over the past three years, I've donned multiple hats: a Licensed Educational Psychologist, a Certified Clinical Tele-mental Health Services Provider, and a Certified Clinical ADHD Provider. My zeal for telehealth is undeniable. This digital medium lets me reach out to countless individuals across California, breaking geographical barriers. It's an absolute boon for those grappling with anxiety or depression, allowing them to find solace without stepping out. What makes my approach stand out? It's the unique strategies and hacks I've cultivated. They're not just effective; they're quick and easy. A mere 5-10 minutes of daily practice with these techniques promises significant improvement. Whether it's enhancing focus, bettering sleep habits, or just generally uplifting one's outlook on life, the benefits are manifold. But there's a challenge I must address. The title "Educational Psychologist" sometimes leads to misconceptions. Despite this label, I possess clinical certifications that equip me to offer services equivalent to many clinical psychologists. In fact, my extensive training and hands-on experience often surpass many traditional licenses out there. It's disheartening when the expertise gets overshadowed by a mere title. I prioritize affordable, inclusive mental health support. Sliding scale fees for all and free 15-min consultations for students. Don't let a title define the quality of care you receive. Let's pave a healthier, happier path together.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with extensive expertise in treating a variety of mental health disorders using holistic and evidence-based protocols.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, PTSD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, ADHD, insomnia and adjustment disorders for ages 13 years and above. I combine medication management with lifestyle modifications. As a member of different professional organizations , I stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in mental health treatment. I am committed to creating a supportive, compassionate, and judgment-free environment for all patients, helping them navigate their mental health journey with care and understanding. I am now accepting new patients and look forward to working with individuals toward achieving their mental wellness goals.

As a marriage and family therapist, I have over a decade of experience supporting others heal through a variety of issues including relationship difficulties, grief and loss, end of life passages, life transitions, fear and panic, victims of coercive control/narcissistic abuse, attachment injuries, guilt and shame, co-dependency and individual, collective and vicarious trauma.I provide compassionate and non-judgmental therapy and have a deep respect for what is possible and welcome the opportunity to serve and support you.

"The purpose of life is to discover our own inherent nobility and to help others discover theirs." – Abdu'l-Bahá. My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own experience of managing mental health from a young age. This personal journey highlighted the profound power of therapy and inspired me to help others achieve similar transformations. Therapy, to me, is more than a profession—it’s my calling. Every step I take alongside my clients reaffirms the transformative power of hope, healing, and the therapeutic relationships. I have extensive experience and training in treating depression, anxiety disorders, other mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions. Healing isn’t about avoiding pain; it’s about feeling safe enough to face it, embrace it, and grow from it. Much like a rose blooms despite the thorns, I believe in your ability to rise through challenges and thrive. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can explore, build resilience, and move confidently toward the life you envision.

Hi, I’m Veronica. I believe that life feels best when we prioritize taking care of ourselves.
