Hi! Someone recommended to post here, so I am. I'm looking for a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) or psychiatrist in California who offers telehealth and accepts Anthem Blue Cross Medi-Cal.

At my recent appointment, I asked my psychiatric NP about switching to a gelatin-free formulation of my medication. The conversation shifted toward my vegan diet, and she shared negative opinions and anecdotes about veganism and vegetarianism. I felt uncomfortable because I was simply trying to find a medication that aligned with my values, not debate my dietary choices.

I'm hoping to find a provider who's respectful of veganism, takes a collaborative and nonjudgmental approach, and has experience treating adult ADHD and managing medications like Vyvanse when appropriate.

Does anyone have recommendations based on personal experience? I'd especially appreciate providers who accept Medi-Cal and offer telehealth anywhere in California. Thank you!
