Welcome to Bubblegum & Duct Tape Wellness, where healing doesn’t have to feel heavy.
We’re a quirky, kind-hearted psychiatry practice that believes mental wellness should be pressure-free, deeply personal, and—dare we say—a little fun. Our name says it all: whether you're feeling like you're held together with bubblegum, duct tape, or both, you're absolutely in the right place.
Our tagline says it best: We mend minds — one tear, one patch, one step at a time.
Meet Dishina
Founder, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), and gentle disruptor of the “clinical” norm. Dishina didn’t set out to build a typical psychiatric practice—because she’s never been a typical provider.
With a rich background in both nursing and psychiatry, Dishina blends clinical expertise with a deep belief in compassion, authenticity, and a touch of creative chaos.
After years of working in traditional healthcare settings, she realized something was missing: humanity. That raw, real, "you can exhale now" kind of care.
So she built Bubblegum & Duct Tape Wellness to be just that—a place where people can feel safe, supported, and unfiltered. Her mission? To give you the kind of care that feels less like an appointment and more like a conversation with someone who truly gets it.
Dishina is especially passionate about destigmatizing mental health, expanding access to innovative treatments like ketamine therapy, and helping clients rewrite their stories on their own terms. She works side-by-side with a handpicked team of PMHNPs who share her belief that healing is never one-size-fits-all.
Off the clock, you can find her sipping strong coffee, journaling in technicolor pens, or losing herself in a good playlist. She’s equal parts science and soul—and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

💵 How much does treatment cost?
Pricing depends on the type of treatment that's right for you. There’s an initial consultation, and then follow-up appointments are paid separately as you go.
To keep things simple, just reach out, and we’ll be happy to send you a copy of our pricing guide by email. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect, with no surprises. -
🤔 What if I have questions or concerns during treatment?
You’ll never be alone in this process. Your provider will walk you through clear instructions so you know exactly what to expect.
Most questions and updates are handled during your scheduled follow-up visits, where your provider can give you their full focus and adjust your care if needed.
And if something urgent comes up between appointments, we’ll make sure you’re guided on the next steps so you always feel supported. -
🚨 What if I have a medical emergency during treatment?
If you ever experience a medical emergency, you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room right away.
For non-emergency concerns, your provider will address them during scheduled follow-up visits. -
💊 What if I’m already on medication?
That’s okay. Your provider will review your current medications during your intake appointment and work with you to make sure your treatment plan is safe and effective.
