Daniel Mattox, PMHNP-BC
Owner, Founder and Nurse Practitioner
Hi there, I’m Daniel, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and now call beautiful Hawai‘i home. Outside of work, I love traveling, hiking, diving, fostering dogs, and exploring hobbies or adventures that give me a healthy dopamine rush. But above all, I am deeply passionate about helping people improve their mental health, pursue their goals, and fully thrive in life.
My journey is personal—I was diagnosed with ADHD (combined type) later in life, and everything changed when I embraced treatment. I know firsthand what it’s like to try to “power through” life while living with unmedicated ADHD. That unique perspective, combined with my clinical training and experience in psychiatry, equips me with the expertise to both understand and treat a wide range of mental health conditions.
At Elevating Minds Psychiatry, I believe in hassle-free neurodivergent care by a fellow neurodivergent. My mission is to create a safe, empowering space where you feel understood, respected, and supported. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, or other challenges, I am honored to walk alongside you as we build strategies, uncover strengths, and help you move toward the life you’ve always wanted.
What We Do
We deliver high-quality, patient-centered psychiatric care designed to meet the real needs of our communities in California and Hawai’i. From the moment you connect with us, we focus on creating a safe, welcoming environment where you can share openly and receive care that truly fits your life. Whether you’re seeking a California psychiatrist, Hawai’i psychiatrist, or searching for a professional psychiatrist nearby, we make the process simple, accessible, and stress-free.
Our comprehensive services include psychiatric evaluations, professional therapy, and medication management—covering a wide range of conditions from mood disorders and anxiety to ADHD and trauma recovery. We take the time to explain your diagnosis, walk you through your options, and help you decide on the best path forward.
We believe in integrating evidence-based treatments with a human-first approach. That means we don’t just focus on symptom relief—we also work to strengthen your overall mental resilience, equip you with tools for everyday challenges, and empower you to create lasting change. Through secure virtual sessions and in-person visits, you can access the care you need from wherever you feel most comfortable.
Why We Love Helping People
At Elevating Minds Psychiatry, our passion for mental health care comes from more than just medical expertise—it’s rooted in a deep understanding of how transformative the right support can be. We’ve seen firsthand how finding the right professional psychiatrist or therapist can change the trajectory of someone’s life, and we’re honored to play that role for our patients in California and Hawai’i.
We love helping people because we believe every individual’s story matters. No matter what challenges you’ve faced—whether it’s years of anxiety, the weight of depression, the struggles of ADHD, or the scars of trauma—you deserve care that sees you as more than your diagnosis. We celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and stand by you during the moments when progress feels far away.
Our joy comes from witnessing real transformation. It’s the patient who learns how to quiet their anxious thoughts, the young adult who finally feels focused and confident, the parent who rediscovers patience and joy, and the professional who reclaims a sense of purpose and balance. These moments remind us why we do this work.
We also love helping people because mental health care is not just about recovery—it’s about equipping you with skills, strategies, and confidence to live the life you envision. We want you to feel empowered, self-aware, and supported long after our sessions end. That’s why we offer ongoing resources, check-ins, and guidance, ensuring that our commitment to you doesn’t stop when the appointment ends.
Above all, we love helping people because we believe in hope—and we know that with the right care, hope can grow into lasting change.
Why I Specialize in ADHD Care
As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who has lived with ADHD, I understand the frustration of traditional psychiatry—long wait times, rushed appointments, and providers who don’t truly “get it.” I spent years powering through life with unmedicated ADHD before finding the right treatment approach. That experience, combined with my clinical training, allows me to provide care that’s both evidence-based and deeply empathetic. I know what it’s like when executive function fails you, when you can’t “just focus harder,” and when the tools designed for neurotypical brains simply don’t work. At Elevating Minds, I’ve built a practice that works with neurodivergent minds, not against them—from our ADHD-friendly technology to our flexible appointment structures.
