Psychiatry in Santa Monica, California Christina M. Reichert, Nurse Practitioner

Christina Reichert, PMHNP, helps teens, adults, and older adults achieve stability and meaningful improvement in mental health through comprehensive psychiatric care. She provides medication management and higher levels of care at LifeStance Health for patients across California, supporting individuals who are navigating complex symptoms, co-occurring conditions, or transitions between levels of treatment. Her approach is thoughtful, evidence-based, and centered on helping patients feel informed, supported, and empowered in their care.

Christina’s clinical focus includes ADHD, bipolar disorder, and alcohol and drug use issues, with extensive experience treating co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions. She works with teens, adults, and seniors experiencing mood instability, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and sleep concerns, carefully tailoring treatment plans to each person’s medical history, life circumstances, and goals. Her background in addiction medicine and dual diagnosis care allows her to address both psychiatric and substance-related needs in an integrated, coordinated way.

She is especially passionate about supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital and those involved in court-ordered treatment. Christina understands that these situations often come with heightened stress, uncertainty, and risk of relapse. She focuses on continuity of care, medication stabilization, and clear treatment planning to help patients regain footing, reduce hospitalization risk, and move toward long-term recovery with structure and support.

Christina provides psychiatric medication management, substance use medication management, and care within Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP). She has experience working with populations including first responders, military veterans, and individuals with head injuries, and she offers additional areas of focus beyond her primary specialties.

Outside of clinical work, Christina enjoys painting, music, home design projects, gardening, hiking, camping, and staying active. She has a deep appreciation for animals and nature, interests that reinforce balance, creativity, and emotional regulation—principles she values in mental health and addiction recovery.
