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.

IMPORTANT: For current availability, visit https://mentalhealthpractitioners.com/ or call or text us anytime at 415-968-6515—we make it super easy! Intake forms are required before your first appointment. You can text us your info or email us at [email protected]. Please send us a picture of your insurance information and photo ID!

Some things you've been carrying for so long they've started to feel like part of who you are. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults who are navigating trauma, grief, loss, and the weight of experiences that don't just go away on their own. People of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, socioeconomic situations, gender expressions, and sexual orientations find a real home in my practice, including folks within the LGBTQIA+ community. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely heard in a way they haven't before.
