I am a dual certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner who specializes in treating patients across the lifespan. I always had a passion for mental health. One of my passions is helping others take charge of their mental health challenges and turning them into victories. I am remarkably competent and offers compassion while giving my clients the best treatment they deserve. I give a unique and holistic perspective when providing care. Lastly, I believe that partnering with my client in choosing the best treatment options together, will create the best outcomes to moving towards a healthy mindset.
I believe in empathic listening to patients in order to discern the best way to care for them. I think many times people's experiences in health care involve a rushed and one-sided interview and being "told" what to do rather than becoming the center of the own interactive health care experience. Many times people are close to having the answer and insight about their own situation and need a space to explore it with the assistance and guidance of a mental health care provider.
“I had a great follow-up session. Dr Baker's demeanor makes opening up very easy. We are adjusting the dosage of my medication very slightly to address a midday drop in my energy. Another follow-up is scheduled next month. I am really glad I made the move to schedule that first appt. I highly recommend Dr Baker.”
“Dr. Hy Gia Park has been a life saver for our family and words cannot express our gratitude for her knowledge, expertise, kindness and professionalism. Our teenage son was having some mental health problems and I took him to to multiple providers… Dr. Park diagnosed him within the first 15 minutes and I teared up out of relief. She is very experienced in her speciality, culturally competent, easily understands family dynamics and caters to veterans. We can’t thank her and her team enough! ❤️”
