Therapist

Virtual • California


I support deep-feeling individuals in gaining self‐knowledge, confidence in their own intuition and voice, and practical tools to navigate challenges when they resurface. My work is collaborative and person‐centered; I see therapy as a process of guiding you back to yourself, rather than telling you what you should do.

Together, we explore how past experiences may be impacting your life today, build awareness of your nervous system, and create space for clarity around your purpose and goals.

I am LGBTQIA+ and multiculturally informed and welcome diverse communities into my practice.

Saby Kirpal

Saby Kirpal

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Fresno, CA


Hi! I'm Saby Kirpal, a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner committed to comprehensive, compassionate mental health care across the lifespan. I earned my Master's degrees from Walden University and Chamberlain University, graduating with Presidential Honors from both programs, reflecting my dedication to clinical excellence and lifelong learning. My professional journey spans diverse healthcare settings, including inpatient psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, residential treatment facilities, and community health centers, providing a well-rounded, real-world perspective on mental health treatment and recovery.

I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, and complex psychiatric conditions. I have extensive experience working with children as young as eight, adolescents, and adults across levels of care—from acute crisis stabilization to long-term outpatient medication management. My background includes serving as Associate Director of Nursing at Sierra Health and Wellness, providing clinical leadership across five facilities, and working with institutions such as UCSF Health and Stanford Health Care.

What sets me apart is my holistic approach, combining a strong nursing foundation with advanced psychiatric training. I recognize that mental health is deeply connected to physical health, family dynamics, culture, and life circumstances. I'm trilingual in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, with working knowledge of Spanish, allowing me to serve diverse communities. I believe in meeting individuals where they are and building a genuine therapeutic partnership where you feel heard, respected, and empowered on your path to wellness and recovery with personalized, evidence-based strategies, continuous guidance, and compassionate care that supports your wellbeing.

Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Thomas Moore, LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor providing therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, identity development, and complex relational patterns. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in repeating cycles such as overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, intense reactions, or difficulty maintaining stable relationships even when they logically understand what they should do. My goal is to help you translate insight into real change.

My approach is structured and compassionate. I integrate evidence based methods including cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation training, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and trauma informed therapy. Sessions focus on understanding why your brain reacts the way it does and building practical tools you can actually use outside the therapy room. This is not only about talking through problems but learning how to respond differently when they show up in real life.

I work well with clients who want more than passive support and are ready to build skills, increase self awareness, and interrupt patterns that no longer serve them.

What clients should know before starting

Therapy with me is collaborative and active and you will learn strategies rather than only venting. We will work on understanding both the emotional and neurological side of your reactions. Sessions focus on present day functioning while also addressing past experiences that still affect you. I may gently challenge patterns when it supports growth while maintaining a supportive and respectful space. Progress often comes from small repeated changes rather than sudden breakthroughs.

If you are looking for therapy that combines validation with practical change, we will likely work well together.
