Kim Giberga

MSN APRN FNP-C PMHNP-BC

Hello! I'm excited to introduce myself. I hold the professional titles of Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). This unique dual credentialing represents my comprehensive training in both general medicine and psychiatric care, encompassing patients from birth onwards. This background gives me an expertise in identifying and differentiating medical causes of psychiatric symptoms and syndromes, as well as a deep understanding of psychopharmacology, medication interactions, the psychological stress of medical problems in addition to psychiatric care. With 14 years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner and a total of 16 years in the healthcare field, I am truly passionate about working with individuals to improve their well-being.

I hold two Master's degrees from University of Florida and the University of Miami, in addition to a Post-Master's Certificate from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I am committed to staying current with the latest, evidence-based information for the benefit of my patients. I am known to dig deep into research, even in the late hours of the night, if it means finding solutions to help my patients. I am a member of multiple local, state and national organizations to keep me up to date in the newest research.

My dedication to the field has been recognized through various awards, including the distinction of being a Coca-Cola scholar (for overall scholastic excellence) and a Ludwig scholar (awarded for my research focusing on differences in medication metabolism between the sexes). Recently, I was honored with a Texas Healthcare Hero award. My consistently high patient satisfaction scores serve as a source of immense pride, as they affirm my dedication to delivering excellent care.

My background in the Emergency Department has equipped me with the ability to respond effectively to emergent situations. Moreover, it has fostered a special affinity for working with healthcare workers, first responders, and individuals facing high-stress scenarios—an increasingly relevant experience in today's world.

I am genuinely passionate about helping my patients achieve their mental health goals. My practice is founded on open-mindedness and a commitment to working with patients from diverse orientations, cultural backgrounds, and lifestyles.

On a personal note, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have a loving and supportive family. I have been happily married to my husband, Ovidio, a first generation Cuban-American, for 25 years, who is an artist and a professor of art at UTSA. San Antonio has been our home for 18 years. Our household is a vibrant one, brimming with the energy of two wonderful teenagers who continually inspire and challenge us. We are also proud parents to two rescue dogs and a rescue cat, all of whom infuse our home with warmth, love, and a healthy dose of chaos. In my leisure time, I enjoy reading, winemaking, gardening, painting, snorkeling, and enjoying the beach. I personally hold faith in God, but I respect and honor everyone’s unique beliefs.

I genuinely appreciate your time and interest in our practice. It is my sincere hope that I can be of assistance to you on your journey towards improved mental health and well-being.
