About David Cao, PMHNP-BC
I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 7 years of experience in mental health care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and PTSD.
I earned my MSN with a specialization in Psychiatric-Mental Health and provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults across California through secure telehealth appointments.
I understand that starting mental health care can feel intimidating, especially when the process feels complicated, stressful, or hard to access. Quietlane Psychiatry was created to make getting started feel simpler, with online scheduling, virtual appointments, and a calm, low-pressure approach to care.
How I Approach Care
Treatment at Quietlane is built on a collaborative and evidence-based foundation. I believe that understanding your options is the first step toward feeling better, which is why I prioritize clear explanations of how medications work and what we can expect together.
We share in the decision-making process, pacing your treatment in a way that feels safe and manageable. My goal is to reduce the overwhelm that often accompanies psychiatric care, especially for those managing ADHD or anxiety, by providing a steady and reliable therapeutic presence.
If you’re looking for a quiet, steady space to talk through your options, you’re in the right place.
