-
Supportive Psychiatric Care
Compassionate, evidence-based support that considers your whole story. We discuss practical ways to support well-being while making thoughtful decisions about treatment.

California Telehealth
Connect from a private, comfortable location anywhere in California. Personalized psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan, with suitability determined during evaluation.
OUR APPROACHListen. Evaluate. Collaborate. Personalize. Support.
Your care begins with listening. We take time to understand your history, symptoms, physical health, life experiences, and what matters most to you. Our inclusive, affirming approach respects your identity, culture, and lived experience.
We discuss clinically appropriate options together, including medication management when appropriate and supportive, evidence-based psychiatric care. Your questions, preferences, and goals guide a personalized plan that can evolve with you.
MEET YOUR PROVIDERYour story matters. Your care should reflect it.
I’m Shavonda Johnson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, PHN, CEN, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Crowned Psychiatry. I want care to feel like a conversation where you can be yourself, feel understood, and take an active role in your next steps.
Approach
Care begins with listening and combines psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and supportive, evidence-based approaches shaped around your story, strengths, culture, and goals.
Special Interest
A special focus of my practice is high-functioning depression—when you seem to be keeping everything together but feel depleted or disconnected inside. This is a descriptive term, not a formal diagnosis. Breaking barriers and reducing stigma around mental health and wellness is central to this work, so asking for support feels more approachable.
