About Charlene Hanson, PMHNP-BC
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in California | Whole-Person Mental Health Care

My Story and Approach
For more than two decades, I have guided individuals and families toward greater mental health and resilience. My career began in women’s health and later critical care nursing in the ICU, experiences that sharpened my ability to provide compassionate, precise care in even the most challenging situations. Trained at the University of California, San Francisco, I bring both academic rigor and real-world expertise to my practice. I integrate clinical excellence with genuine understanding in every encounter.

Why Patients Choose My Practice
Those under my care frequently remark on the thoughtful balance between evidence-based practice and genuine compassion that shapes every interaction. Each appointment is held in the strictest confidence, within a warm and supportive setting intentionally designed to foster trust, comfort, and lasting healing.
