About Sarah
Sarah Keechle, PMHNP, has been a registered nurse since 2008 and has spent her career working in a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatry and on the chemical dependency consultation team. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with a minor in Psychology, and a Master of Science in Nursing from Wright State University. In 2022, she became a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and has since worked in outpatient psychiatry, providing care to children, adolescents, and adults.

Throughout her career, Sarah has seen firsthand how closely mental and physical health are connected and how significantly both can impact a person’s overall quality of life. Her experiences in psychiatric nursing inspired her to pursue advanced practice as a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner, allowing her to build longer-term relationships with patients and play a greater role in helping them understand and manage their mental health. She is especially drawn to integrated care because it allows mental health to be treated as an important part of a person’s overall health.

Sarah’s approach to care is collaborative, individualized, and evidence-based. She believes patients should have a clear understanding of their diagnosis, treatment options, and the reasoning behind recommendations so they can be active participants in their care. She strives to meet patients where they are, listen to what matters most to them, and work together to create treatment plans that are both clinically appropriate and realistic for their lives.

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys spending time with friends and family, gardening, and baking.
