Sara Obringer, PMHNP, is a public mental health nurse practitioner practicing at Pioneer Counseling and Consulting, which has locations in Canonsburg, Washington, and Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.
From a young age, Sara had a deep desire to help others. That passion ultimately led to a career in nursing. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Carlow University in 2019 and began her career in the ICU at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, she developed a strong commitment not only to her patients but also to supporting their families through challenging times.
Driven to make an even greater impact, Sara pursued advanced training and earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Duquesne University, graduating as a psychiatric nurse practitioner in 2023. She now provides mental health care with a holistic and lifestyle-focused approach, recognizing the connection between mental and physical well-being. She works with individuals across the lifespan and treats a wide range of mental health conditions, always prioritizing collaboration in the treatment process to ensure each client receives personalized care.
Originally from a family farm in Southwestern Pennsylvania, Sara values balance in all aspects of life. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and their two dogs, traveling, and being with loved ones. She is committed to helping each client become the best version of themselves—mentally, emotionally, and beyond.
As an emergency room nurse for over 10 years, I knew that I wanted to help to reduce the stigma and improve mental health care. To do this, I obtained my MSN from Monmouth University, and became board certified with the ANCC. I have experience working at a non-profit IOP program for dual diagnosis clients, as well as a busy emergency room with a heavy psychiatric presence. I look forward to helping increase the availability of quality mental health care to my clients.
“Was extremely nervous about making an appointment. Took me months to make the phone call. After my appointment, that all felt silly. Kristen is extremely warm and welcoming while maintaining an air of professionalism that let's you know youre in good and knowledgeable hands. I left our appointment feeling good about our next steps and optimistic about getting the help I need.”
“Dr Kim is a superb physician, who is thoughtful and considerate not only when interacting with patients, but also in terms of treatment plans. She is highly conscientious and follows up on things immediately, something quite rare amongst her colleagues. I would highly recommend her.”

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I obtained my MSN from Monmouth University, and became board certified with the ANCC. I have over 10 years of nursing experience in the psychiatric field in emergency crisis with adult clients from ages 18-65. Through my years as a staff nurse, I found my passion for mental health and desired to be apart of the change in ending the stigma surrounded by substance abuse and mental health.
I believe in creating an individualized plan of care that values client involvement, inter-professional collaboration and evidenced-based practice. My goal for my clients is to feel empowered to treat their illness through supportive education in a stigma free environment.
“Nichole is a key member of my mental health team. She takes the time to actually listen and then finds the right questions to ask in return all the while making you feel comfortable and taken care of.”
I am a child and Adolescent psychiatrist trained at Rutgers New Jersey Medical school and Board certified in both General Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I have been in practice for over 10 years and specialize in medication treatments for ADHD, Oppositional defiant disorder, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, Autism spectrum disorder and tic disorders.
I pursue a working alliance with families, schools, therapists, and pediatricians, including the review of prior assessments, as the basis of the treatment plan.
My approach is to start with a thorough diagnosis and formulate a plan that includes medications, psychotherapy, diet, exercise, sleep hygiene, lab work and other lifestyle modifications to provide an individual treatment plan for each of my patients. As I develop a relationship with my patients and their family I strive to understand their issues and concerns to better cater to my patient's needs.
