Whether I’m diagnosing, prescribing, or simply listening, my mission is to make every patient feel seen, heard, and cared for. I strive to turn sessions into moments of trust, learning, and hope."

I am board certified in Family Practice as well as Psychiatry and have been in practice for 25 year.

I believe therapy and psychiatric care should feel human, not clinical, rushed, or impersonal. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported from the very first conversation. I take time to understand your story, your values, and what you want your life to look like, not just your symptoms.

I bring over a decade of experience working in mental health and addiction, and I use a balanced approach that blends evidence-based treatment with compassion and real connection. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all care. Your treatment is collaborative, flexible, and designed to support long-term growth, not just short-term relief.

Above all, you should know that you will not be treated like a diagnosis. You will be treated like a person.

Micaela Pericone-Kapp

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • San Diego, CA


Hello, my name is Micaela Pericone-Kapp, a Doctor of Nursing Practice specializing as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I'm passionate about providing advanced care for individuals with ADHD, OCD, PTSD and trauma, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My doctoral-level training enables me to provide sophisticated, evidence-based treatment for complex mental health challenges. I'm LGBTQ+ identified and provide affirming care for diverse communities.

I chose to specialize in these areas because I understand how these conditions can profoundly impact every aspect of your life, often in ways that feel overwhelming or isolating. Whether you're struggling with ADHD symptoms that affect your work performance, OCD rituals that consume your time and energy, trauma responses that interfere with relationships, or personality patterns that create ongoing difficulties, I bring the advanced knowledge needed to provide effective, compassionate care.

My treatment philosophy centers on understanding you as a complete person, not just a collection of symptoms. I recognize that mental health conditions don't exist in isolation—they interact with your life experiences, relationships, cultural background, and personal goals in unique ways. My approach combines cutting-edge psychiatric interventions with deep respect for your individual journey and values.

You can expect thorough assessment, personalized treatment planning, and ongoing support throughout our work together. You deserve care that truly sees you.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in San Jose, CA

Finding psychiatrists in San Jose starts with understanding the type of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care approach to see whether their experience matches your needs.

San Jose offers access to psychiatrists across a wide area, including nearby communities like Campbell, Cupertino, and Los Gatos. Location, appointment format, and scheduling can shape which psychiatrist is a practical fit. Some people prefer in-person visits close to home or work, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, so it can help to read bios for details on session structure, availability, and communication style before booking.

Psychiatric care in San Jose can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, check whether they take your plan, and view estimated costs before you book. You can compare specialties, read profiles, and choose a psychiatrist who fits your needs, schedule, and insurance coverage.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
