Lori Vasquez MSN, PMHNP-BC
We deliver thoughtful, patient-centered med management that considers the full context of each individual — not just symptoms.
For students, this means exposure to care that is both clinically grounded and relationship-driven.
Our mission is simple: help people feel better, sooner.
You’ll see how treatment decisions are made in real time, how providers build trust with patients, how psychiatric care is delivered outpatient.
We operate primarily through telepsychiatry across California, allowing for flexible, accessible care — and providing students with experience in the same model that is increasingly shaping the future of mental health treatment.
Mentorship and Support
Most students go through third-party placement companies that act as middlemen — often adding cost without improving the actual clinical experience.
At Mind Over Matter, you work directly with our clinical team inside a functioning outpatient psychiatry practice. This allows for a more streamlined, responsive, and meaningful training experience.
