Hi, I’m Karla Loya-Gallardo, MSN, MPH, APRN, PMHNP-BC.

Cuatro Vientos was created with the belief that mental health care should feel thoughtful, supportive, and collaborative. Too often, people seeking support feel rushed, unheard, or reduced to a diagnosis. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to slow down, speak openly, and receive care that is personalized to your unique experiences and needs. 

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, and other mental health concerns. Together, we’ll explore what you’re experiencing, discuss treatment options, and create a personalized plan that supports your mental well-being and long-term goals.

My background in nursing and public health has shaped the way I approach care; with curiosity, empathy, and a focus on the whole person rather than just symptoms alone. I believe healing happens best when people feel understood, respected, and actively involved in their treatment.

For many people, the right medication can be an important part of feeling more steady, focused, rested, and like themselves again. We’ll follow up closely after starting or adjusting medication and continue with regular check-ins to monitor your progress and make changes when needed.

Reaching out for help can be difficult, but it can also be the first step toward relief, healing, and reconnection with yourself.
