Psychiatrist

As a Stanford-trained Psychiatrist, I offer medication management and therapy for a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anger, stress, burnout, divorce, addiction, and others. I see adults age 18-60. I am also board certified in Addiction Medicine. I am not treating ADHD with stimulant medications at the current time due to in-person visit requirements to prescribe controlled substances. I am unable to offer therapy only if you have another psychiatrist (I will need to manage your psychiatric medications).

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Welcome! I’m Sarah Stewart, and I specialize in medication management for adults dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. Together, we’ll explore your goals, strengths, and patterns to create a treatment plan that feels personal and empowering. My approach blends evidence-based care with compassion and collaboration—helping you find both immediate relief and lasting stability. You deserve care that meets you where you are and helps you move toward a more grounded, confident version of yourself.

I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where we work together to understand your unique needs and goals.

I believe healing happens when patients feel seen, heard, and empowered. My role is to walk alongside you, offering tools, education, and medication management tailored to your individual journey.

I completed my training as a PMHNP in California and have experience in both emergency and outpatient mental health settings.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your mental health journey, I look forward to working together to build a plan that supports your well-being.

Dr. Patricia Pop

Dr. Patricia Pop

Psychiatrist

Hello! I’m a holistic and integrative Stanford-trained psychiatrist accepting clients for weekly therapy using brainspotting.

Brainspotting actually happens naturally in all great therapy!

Brainspotting is a therapy that doesn’t rely on talking the whole time—instead, it helps access deeper parts of the brain tied to emotion, memory, and instinct. By holding attention on certain spots in your visual field, we can open up access to unresolved feelings or experiences that might not come up through words alone.

Once we get to know one another, we help you enter a light altered state using eye positioning and music and using neuroscience principles and a background in psychedelic therapy, we allow your brain and body to guide you towards resolution. I am Level 1 certified and look forward to working with you!
