Getting to know Baraka Karanja
Well hello there! My name is Baraka and I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a deep passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges and feel their best mentally and emotionally. I’ve spent years working in mental health care, and I specialize in doing thoughtful, thorough evaluations, making sense of what you’re going through, and creating treatment plans that are grounded in both science and compassion.
Whether it’s through therapy, medication, or just having someone in your corner who truly listens, I’m here to support you every step of the way. My approach is all about treating the whole person—you’re more than just symptoms. I believe healing happens when care is collaborative, respectful, and rooted in trust. If you’re ready to take that next step in your mental health journey, I’d be honored to walk it with you.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
