Zlatoslava (Z) Karga, DNP, PMHNP-BC Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Doctor of Nursing Practice with six years of clinical experience serving individuals across the lifespan. As a U.S. veteran, I bring a deep respect for resilience, service, and the diverse paths that shape each person’s mental health journey.

My practice is grounded in a holistic approach to assessment and treatment—one that honors not only where you are in life, but who you are as a whole person. I believe effective care goes beyond symptom management. It requires curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to think outside the box to find solutions that truly fit your needs.

I am committed to building long-term therapeutic relationships based on trust, transparency, and mutual respect. Whether we’re exploring innovative treatment options or navigating life’s challenges together, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
