About
Our Mission & Vision
At Obsidian, we are committed to providing evidence-based educational content and mental health services that promote wellness and personal growth. Our goal is to create a credible, safe and nurturing space where individuals can explore the root causes of their own mental health struggles and experience profound healing.
Services
Conventional Medication Management
Thoughtful, evidence-based psychiatric medication management tailored to your unique history, biology, and goals. Every prescription decision is made collaboratively — with your full story in mind, not just your symptoms.
Psychedelic
Harm
Reduction
For those navigating questions about psychedelics, Taira offers a safe space for honest, research-informed conversation. This is an educational and harm reduction service — she brings no judgment to wherever you are in your exploration.
Please note: this service does not include psychedelic-assisted therapy, and Taira does not prescribe, facilitate, or condone the use of psychedelic substances outside of legal, sanctioned contexts.
Herbal & Complementary Medicine
An integrative approach that honors the wisdom of plant-based and complementary therapies alongside conventional psychiatric care. For those who want to explore the full spectrum of healing options, this work is grounded in both clinical evidence and respect for traditional knowledge.
Private
Speaking Engagements
Taira is available for private speaking engagements on topics spanning psychiatric care, psychedelic-assisted therapeutics, and the ethical integration of emerging modalities. Whether for clinical teams, organizations, or private gatherings, she offers a perspective shaped by years of frontline clinical work and a genuine commitment to getting this moment in psychiatry right.
Meet Taira
Taira Chaudry, PMHNP-BC, is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 14 years of clinical experience spanning critical care, psychiatry, and emerging psychedelic therapeutics. She completed her undergraduate education at the University of California, Los Angeles, earned her Master of Science from the UCLA School of Nursing, and in 2022 completed her advanced practice specialty certification in psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
Taira practices from a foundational belief that healing is an inherently personal process arising from within each individual. This conviction shapes her therapeutic approach: care is collaborative with treatment plans built alongside patients rather than prescribed to them. Since 2025, she has extended this approach into psychedelic clinical research, and remains a committed advocate for the ethical, responsible, and culturally humble integration of psychedelic-assisted interventions.
