I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who is passionate about providing compassionate, supportive, and individualized mental health care. I work with adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma-related concerns, or life stressors.

I’m Saby Kirpal, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing thorough, well-rounded mental health care. I hold Master’s degrees from both Chamberlain University and Walden University, where I graduated with Presidential Honors, a reflection of my dedication to high clinical standards.

My professional experience spans inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient clinics, which has given me a clear understanding of mental health care at every level. My clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders across all age groups. I care for children as young as eight, teens, and adults, and young people and their families are always welcome in my practice. My work has included crisis stabilization, residential programs, and ongoing medication management.

What makes my practice distinctive is the way I blend my nursing background with psychiatric expertise. I understand how physical health, medications, daily habits, and mental health all affect one another. I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi and speak conversational Spanish, which allows me to serve diverse communities and appreciate the many ways culture shapes how people experience mental health.

My work has taken me from UCSF Health to community clinics, and those experiences taught me that excellent care depends far more on the relationship than on the setting. Whether you are seeking help for the first time, transitioning between clinicians, or managing an ongoing condition, I am here to partner with you. I always listen first, explain things clearly, and make decisions with you rather than for you. Treatment should never feel like something done to you; it should be something we navigate together. I am dedicated to creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and truly supported, and every step forward, however small, is worth celebrating.
