In a region celebrated for refinement and balance, Dr. Gundeep Sekhon has created a psychiatric practice that reflects the spirit of Napa. At Napa Soul Psychiatry, she offers highly personalized mental health and weight loss care—grounded in medical excellence, compassion, and intention.

“As a physician, I believe the mind, body, and spirit are inseparable,” said Dr. Sekhon. “Healing happens when we feel safe to be our authentic selves.”

A triple board-certified psychiatrist and Obesity Medicine expert, Dr. Sekhon combines traditional psychiatry with integrative tools like nutritional guidance, mindfulness, herbal support, and lab testing. Her boutique-style model allows for longer visits, deeper relationships, and individualized treatment plans—unconstrained by insurance limitations.

 

A Global Foundation, A Napa Mission

Trained in both India and the United States, Dr. Sekhon earned her medical degree at Government Medical College in Amritsar. She completed her psychiatry residency at Georgetown University Hospital and her Geriatric Psychiatry fellowship at Stanford. Her career has spanned hospitals, outpatient centers, and correctional settings—including care on death row. Now living in Napa, she’s created a sanctuary for healing. “This isn’t about handing out diagnoses,” she said. “It’s about guiding my patients toward clarity, balance, and transformation.”

Her patients are often high-functioning adults—executives, creatives, entrepreneurs—managing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or burnout. She also works with individuals navigating weight and body image challenges with a compassionate approach. A special focus is women’s mental health. “As I navigated my own journey, I realized how underserved women are in this space,” she said. “I want to change that.”

 

More Than Medication

Treatment may include nutraceuticals, lifestyle coaching, meditation, hormone and functional lab testing, psychotherapy, or medication—always used judiciously as part of a holistic strategy. “My role is part clinician, part guide,” she explained. “I help people reconnect with themselves and rebuild self-trust.”

Because her practice is out-of-network, patients benefit from more time and access—an intentional departure from today’s fragmented system. Every plan supports long-term sustainable well-being, not just symptom relief.

 

A Life Fully Lived

Dr. Sekhon’s clinical expertise is matched by lived experience. Her personal journey through infertility, divorce, and postpartum depression fuels her deep empathy. “Healing isn’t abstract for me. I’ve been there.”

She moved to Napa to slow down, breathe deeper, and raise her daughter in beauty. On weekends, you’ll find her in Allston Park, walking with her preschooler and German Shepherd—or planning her next international adventure. “Joy is part of the healing process, too,” she added.

 

A Refined Approach to Wellness

In a valley known for curated experiences, Napa Soul Psychiatry offers a tailored, private, and transformative path to mental wellness. Dr. Sekhon’s work honors the full complexity of the people she serves—with warmth, insight, and intention.

Napa Soul Psychiatry welcomes adults ages 18+ for private, out-of-network care.
