Meet Zalak
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and have been treating adolescents and adults in private practice since 2019, in collaboration with various health systems. My approach to care is holistic and evidence-based, combining psychopharmacology and counseling to support individuals in achieving mental wellness in a compassionate, stigma-free environment. I provide thorough mental health assessments and develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs. My goal is to help patients regain confidence, build resilience, and return to their daily lives with a greater sense of balance and well-being. I treat a broad range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and PTSD, using a blend of medication management and psychotherapy. My practice is rooted in a collaborative, patient-centered approach. I integrate therapeutic techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing while working closely with patients to develop practical coping strategies. I also offer support through life transitions, crises, and challenges related to substance use. To provide the highest quality of care, I stay current with emerging treatments and best practices in psychiatric medicine. I am deeply committed to fostering trust within the therapeutic relationship and creating a safe, supportive space for both patients and their families. Promoting mental health wellness and reducing stigma remain central to my work.
