Karyn Sprinkle, Pmhnp, Pmh-C

Hello and welcome! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 18 years of experience in both perinatal and psychiatric care. I am also a certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider and serve as a California Board Member for Postpartum Support International, as well as Specialized Coordinator for Perinatal Substance Use Disorder for PSI Central.

In addition to my clinical work, I am an adjunct faculty instructor for a RN program, teaching both mental health and obstetrics, and I am a certified SMART Recovery group facilitator. My professional passions include supporting individuals with substance use disorders, practicing trauma-informed care, and providing compassionate, patient-centered treatment.

I take a nonjudgmental, loving, and supportive approach with every patient I see, creating a safe space to explore challenges and work toward healing. My goal is to walk alongside you, helping you feel heard, respected, and empowered in your mental health journey.

I believe in meeting clients where they are, with empathy, respect, and a focus on their individual goals. I provide comprehensive psychiatric care, including evaluation, diagnosis, and medication management, with a strong emphasis on patient-centered decision-making.

I offer evidence-based treatment for mental health conditions as well as medications for opioid and alcohol use disorders, integrating these into a broader recovery plan that supports both physical and emotional well-being. My approach combines trauma-informed care with open, collaborative conversations, so clients feel safe, empowered, and actively involved in their treatment journey.

Clients can expect to feel heard, respected, and supported without judgement. My goal is for every person to leave our sessions with a clearer understanding of their mental health, and a treatment plan tailored to their needs.

Whether you are pregnant or new mom experiencing perinatal mental health conditions, or someone needing medications for opioid use disorders, I aim to empower you with knowledge, skills, and knowledge to take meaningful steps towards wellness. My hope is that you walk away knowing you have a partner in your care who believes in your ability to heal and thrive.
