If you have Blue Shield of California or Magellan, please let me know. I can see you directly. Grow Therapy has phased out accepting Blue Shield of California and Magellan Hi, I'm Shala, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to helping adolescents, teens, and adults navigate anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I don't treat ADHD or addiction disorder. My approach is holistic, integrating psychotherapy, medication management, and neurofeedback.
Neurofeedback helps regulate brain activity, optimizing the benefits of therapy. As a member of the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition (BIC), I am particularly experienced in supporting individuals with medication tapering.
My method combines gentle, evidence-based tapering of benzodiazepines and other psychotropics, informed by resources like the Ashton Manual and Dr. Horowitz's guidelines, with comprehensive support in psychotherapy, nutrition, and sleep hygiene.
