Dr. Cristina LaFarre
Psychiatric Mental Health NP
Virtual & in-person • 1.5 mi away • San Francisco, CA
Welcome! I specialize in medication management (psychopharmacology) of depression, anxiety disorders, OCD and ADHD of adult patients. I graduated from the Stanford Psychiatry Residency Program in 2004 where I served as chief resident and have been in private practice since 2005. You may learn more about my practice at https://sfpsychiatrylaw.com. Please note that the first appointment is done in my office in Belmont. I talk to prospective clients on the phone before booking the inital intake appointment. I am not able to take all the patients who wish to schedule.
Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.
I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.
Hi there!
I'm Dr. Tayo (Omotayo) Alamutu, Dual Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree in 2019, with specialized training in psychiatric mental health. I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, understood and supported without judgement. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management and supportive therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, substance use concerns, mood disorder, PTSD and other mental health concerns. I practice via telemedicine and In person, offering flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends.
Welcome! Taking the step to prioritize your mental health is powerful, and I’m honored to welcome you to our practice.

We bring flexible, high-quality care directly to you—offering both in-person appointments and seamless telepsychiatry services.

I’m Saby Kirpal, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing thorough, well-rounded mental health care. I hold Master’s degrees from both Chamberlain University and Walden University, where I graduated with Presidential Honors, a reflection of my dedication to high clinical standards.
My professional experience spans inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, and outpatient clinics, which has given me a clear understanding of mental health care at every level. My clinical focus includes depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders across all age groups. I care for children as young as eight, teens, and adults, and young people and their families are always welcome in my practice. My work has included crisis stabilization, residential programs, and ongoing medication management.
What makes my practice distinctive is the way I blend my nursing background with psychiatric expertise. I understand how physical health, medications, daily habits, and mental health all affect one another. I am fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi and speak conversational Spanish, which allows me to serve diverse communities and appreciate the many ways culture shapes how people experience mental health.
My work has taken me from UCSF Health to community clinics, and those experiences taught me that excellent care depends far more on the relationship than on the setting. Whether you are seeking help for the first time, transitioning between clinicians, or managing an ongoing condition, I am here to partner with you. I always listen first, explain things clearly, and make decisions with you rather than for you. Treatment should never feel like something done to you; it should be something we navigate together. I am dedicated to creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and truly supported, and every step forward, however small, is worth celebrating.
Hello, I'm Arch Jungers, PMHNP-BC, and I came to psychiatric care more than seven years as a psychiatric charge RN, leading care teams and sitting with patients in their most difficult moments, before becoming a Nurse Practitioner. I truly believe that together, we can solve any mental health problem. When I'm not here, I'm loving on my dogs, playing tennis, or bowling in my weekly league. I am looking forward to meeting you and seeing how I can be of service to you.

Frequently asked questions


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 Therapist in San Francisco
Finding the right psychiatrist in San Francisco starts with knowing what kind of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, clinical focus, and care style before booking.
San Francisco has many mental health care options across neighborhoods like the Mission District, SoMa, the Haight, and the Richmond, which can make narrowing your search more complex. Consider whether you prefer an office near work, home, transit, or a virtual appointment that fits your schedule. Psychiatry appointments for medication management are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Provider bios can help you compare appointment style, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Psychiatric care in San Francisco can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and other prescribers who are accepting new patients and match your insurance details. You can browse profiles, review specialties, compare virtual and in-person options, 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.
