Hi, I'm Dr. Chigozie Jones Onuh, a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I serve clients across all ages and demographics. I have experience in treating clients with Depression, PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorders, Schizophrenia, Mood disorders, Substance use disorders, and other psychiatric related issues.
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.
Hello! I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing personalized care through telehealth. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and stress-related challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported without judgment. I take a collaborative approach to care and include medication management when appropriate. I also offer services in both English and Spanish.
My path into psychiatry is both professional and personal. I moved to the U.S. alone at 17 while navigating complex PTSD and periods of misdiagnosis, which shaped how I understand mental health today. I began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology at Nankai University, then trained as a nurse and nurse practitioner at Charles R. Drew University and Purdue University.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked across medical and mental health settings, developing an approach that balances clinical precision with individualized care. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and complex PTSD, particularly for individuals who feel stuck or haven’t found relief in traditional treatment.
I’m licensed in California, Virginia, New York, Washington, and Oregon, and provide care via telehealth.
I am Young Lee, a Korean-speaking PMHNP-BC driven by a deep commitment to compassionate, whole-person care. My path to mental health was shaped by meaningful life experiences—serving as an Army sergeant taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of showing up for others, while competing as a varsity soccer player instilled teamwork and perseverance that I carry into every patient relationship.
My passion for mental health care ignited while working with the homeless population in Durham, North Carolina. That experience revealed how profoundly mental wellness influences every dimension of a person's life and solidified my calling. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Duke University, where I was honored with the Helen Fuld Scholarship and served as a representative at the Graduate and Professional Student Council. I later completed my graduate training as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Charles R. Drew University, deepening my dedication to holistic, patient-centered care.
My clinical background spans inpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, hospital consultation, and outpatient medication management. I have provided care across adult and geriatric populations in settings ranging from intensive care and emergency departments to assisted living communities and telehealth platforms. This breadth of experience equips me to address a wide spectrum of conditions, including ADHD, depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, OCD, PTSD, bipolar disorders, sleep disorders, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, substance use disorders, and eating disorders.
I treat individuals from diverse backgrounds and believe that creating a supportive, collaborative environment is essential to meaningful progress. My goal is helping you gain insight, build practical skills, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life. I am here to walk that path alongside you.

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 Los Angeles
Finding psychiatrists in Los Angeles starts with knowing what type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and provide medication management. Psychiatric nurse practitioners may also prescribe and manage medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, background, and approach before booking.
In a large city like Los Angeles, having many options across neighborhoods like Downtown LA, Santa Monica, Silver Lake, and the Valley can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider practical factors like appointment availability, office location, commute time, and whether virtual appointments fit your schedule. Psychiatric care may involve shorter, less frequent medication management appointments than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand how each psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they focus on, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Los Angeles can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and take your plan. You can compare profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
