Saby Kirpal

Saby Kirpal

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • San Rafael, CA


I'm Saby Kirpal, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health care. I hold Master's degrees from Chamberlain University and Walden University, graduating with Presidential Honors, reflecting my commitment to clinical excellence. My diverse professional background spans inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient clinics, giving me insight into mental health treatment at every level of care. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders across age groups. My experience includes working with children as young as eight through adults in crisis stabilization, residential treatment, and ongoing medication management.

What makes my practice unique is the integration of my nursing background with psychiatric expertise. I understand how physical health, medications, lifestyle factors, and mental health interconnect. Being trilingual in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, with conversational Spanish, allows me to serve diverse communities and appreciate how culture shapes mental health experiences.

I've worked from UCSF Health to community clinics, teaching me that excellent care isn't about the setting—it's about the relationship. Whether you're seeking help for the first time, between providers, or managing ongoing conditions, I'm here to partner with you. My approach centers on listening first, explaining clearly, and making decisions together. Mental health treatment should never feel like something done to you, but rather something we navigate together. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and genuinely supported.

Seeking therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that healing begins through genuine connection, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they navigate life's challenges and work toward meaningful change.

As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I have experience working with adults, children, adolescents, couples, families, veterans, and at-risk youth. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, abuse, neglect, and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. These experiences have strengthened my passion for helping people build resilience, discover their strengths, and create lasting, positive change.

I recognize that every person's story is unique, so I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and goals. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other therapeutic approaches to help you gain insight, develop practical coping skills, and move toward the life you want.

I am certified in various evidence based practices. I have also received specialized training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), allowing me to support individuals and couples through trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions with proven, effective treatment approaches.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, working through past experiences, navigating relationship difficulties, or simply looking for support during a challenging season of life, I look forward to helping you find healing, growth, and hope.

Therapist

Being a teenager can feel overwhelming. You might be juggling school, work, relationships, family expectations, and trying to understand who you are—all at the same time. Some days, it can feel like too much. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or feeling lost or disconnected, we can work through it together at your pace. I also help with things like setting boundaries, building self-confidence, navigating identity, and improving your relationship with food and your body.

That inner pressure to be perfect or “have it all together” can be exhausting. Maybe your inner critic is loud, or you feel like you’re constantly falling short. Therapy is a space where you can take a break from that pressure, feel heard without judgment, and start to make sense of what’s going on inside.
