Kyle Tretter
Hello there! My name is Kyle. I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner based in California, New York, and Washington, offering virtual care to clients throughout these states. My clinical experience includes working with individuals experiencing Sleep difficulties, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Anger Management, and more. I have specialized training in providing culturally sensitive care for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where each treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs—helping you achieve lasting, meaningful improvement in your mental health and overall well-being.

First session
During our first session, you can expect a supportive, collaborative space where you feel comfortable and heard. My approach is relaxed and easygoing, with your comfort and sense of safety as my top priorities. We’ll spend time getting to know you—your background, goals, and what brings you to care—so we can develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll begin building a therapeutic partnership focused on achieving lasting change and optimal mental well-being. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space where we can work together toward the changes that matter most to you.
Strengths
If you are looking for a provider who is approachable, easy to talk to, and creates a comfortable environment where you can feel heard and understood, I may be a good fit for your care. From the beginning of our work together, my goal is to ensure that you feel genuinely supported, valued, and actively involved in your treatment journey. I provide concierge psychiatric care, which allows for a more accessible and personalized approach to treatment. I believe that having consistent access to support can be an important part of feeling connected and cared for throughout the treatment process. My goal is to help you feel confident that you have a provider who is available when you need guidance and support. My approach is collaborative and individualized. I believe effective treatment involves understanding the whole person—not simply addressing symptoms. I integrate medication management, psychotherapy with routine habits, and holistic wellness strategies to support meaningful and lasting improvements in mental health and overall well-being.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is motivated to better understand themselves, improve their mental health, and make meaningful changes in their life. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, or difficulty navigating life transitions. They are open to exploring the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being, and are willing to take an active role in their treatment. I enjoy working with individuals who value a collaborative and supportive therapeutic relationship, whether they are seeking symptom relief, greater emotional stability, improved functioning, or a better understanding of themselves. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward lasting personal growth and improved quality of life.
Ongoing work together
Our ongoing work together will be collaborative, consistent, and individualized to your needs and goals. At the end of each appointment, we will work together to schedule follow-up sessions to help ensure continuity of care and maintain progress. I also strive to provide multiple ways for you to reach out with questions or concerns between appointments, so you feel supported throughout your treatment. We will monitor progress through regular check-ins, standardized screening tools, and assessments when appropriate. However, just as important is taking the time to listen to how you are feeling, understanding what is changing in your life, and discussing what is or isn't working for you. Your treatment plan will be continually adjusted based on your individual needs, concerns, preferences, and response to treatment. Progress may look different for everyone. Together, we will recognize improvements in symptoms, daily functioning, emotional well-being, coping skills, and overall quality of life. My goal is to make sure you feel heard, supported, and actively involved in your care while working toward meaningful and sustainable progress.
Medication approach
Medication management is my primary specialty, and I believe medication treatment should always be individualized and collaborative. I take the time to understand your mental health history, previous experiences with medications, treatment preferences, and personal goals. If you have tried medications in the past, I want to hear what worked, what didn't, and any side effects or concerns you may have experienced. If you are new to psychiatric medications, I also understand that starting medication can feel overwhelming or intimidating. I will take the time to answer your questions, discuss potential benefits and risks, and help you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. If medication is an appropriate part of your treatment, we will develop an individualized plan together, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments based on your response, needs, and preferences.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques into medication management sessions when appropriate. Alongside medication treatment, I may utilize CBT-based strategies to help clients recognize and understand patterns in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, develop healthier coping skills, and address negative thinking patterns that may contribute to their symptoms. This allows for a more comprehensive, individualized approach to care that addresses both symptom management through medication and practical strategies to support lasting improvement.
