Danielle Zaderaka, PMHNP

Philosophy of Care

Danielle Zaderaka is a Board Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 6 years of experience in psychiatry. She is passionate about working with both adolescents and adults, and she helps clients manage a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, trauma, and more. Danielle also has previous experience working in an emergency room setting — as a former Psychiatric Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, she understands the unique intricacies of poor functioning and life interrupting symptoms, particularly with adolescents.

Danielle understands the difficulty of finding a provider who actually listens and exercises ethical and compassionate prescribing. Getting to know you and how you want to improve your life is one of her top priorities.

Improving overall functioning and examining the small details to make big changes is our ultimate goal!

Considering holistic and natural ways of symptom management with a healthy appreciation for psychopharmacology, Danielle blends treatment options for the best outcome that works for you!

A strong advocate for medication education, she will also ensure you know what to expect what a given medication will do for you and how it will impact you. Danielle assures you that she considers multiple factors when choosing a medication protocol and avoids polypharmacy.

Working with a psychiatric provider can be overwhelming, but having someone who listens and understands can help. Danielle is a great listener and support system, and she will treat you with the utmost respect. She will help you improve your functioning and live well!

Linda Armendariz, LMFT

Philosophy of Care

Linda began her career as a psychotherapist after working as a special education teacher in  the public school system. Her early counseling experience was in the field of chemical  dependency; providing care in a hospital setting. It was here that Linda took an interest in the  impact of traumatic experiences on a person’s wellness. She began to specialize in treating  clients with histories of trauma, particularly within the family system. Linda took a special  interest in how traumatic experiences express themselves through the body and can lead to  psychological symptoms (especially anxiety.) As a therapist who takes a systems approach to  treatment, Linda is open to including loved ones in the treatment process and coordinating  with other providers. 

Linda has experience using a wide range of methods to meet clients where they are at.  Depending on clients’ goals and willingness, Linda is able to use both art and music as tools  for communication. Linda can also facilitate relaxation exercises and visualizations. She is  trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) to assist clients who are  struggling with traumatic memories.  

Linda graduated from Chapman College in Orange, CA with a Master’s degree in Counseling  Psychology. She has worked for a large medical group, in private practice, in a crisis center,  and as an interventionist in a Colorado high school, among other settings. 

With the recent pandemic negatively impacting so many and the overwhelming news headlines  viewed daily, it is critical to have mental health support in place. Self-care is more important  than ever in order to maintain (or recover) a sense of wellness and enthusiasm for life. Call today!
