Sohail Nibras, MD - Child, Teen & Adult Psychiatrist
Dr. Sohail Nibras’s story is one of dedication, empathy, and a profound commitment to those in need of compassionate care. A double board-certified psychiatrist, he is uniquely qualified in both child/adolescent and adult psychiatry. His journey began as a young immigrant who moved to Missouri, facing the challenges of a new world with quiet strength and determination. His heart and mind were set on a path to healing, and this vision led him to pursue a Bachelor of Arts at Saint Louis University and, later, his Doctor of Medicine.
Returning to St. Louis, he began an intensive training journey that spanned years. First, he completed his general psychiatry residency at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, followed by a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at Southern Illinois University. From children to adults, Dr. Nibras has devoted his life to those facing the invisible weight of mental health struggles.
It was his passion for education and advancing psychiatry that brought Dr. Nibras to Houston, where he serves as an assistant professor at the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Baylor College of Medicine. He is an attending psychiatrist at Texas Children’s Hospital, he not only provides care for some of the country’s most challenging cases but also guides future psychiatrists, shaping the next generation of healers.
After years in diverse psychiatric settings, Dr. Nibras embraced a new vision—a practice rooted in holistic, personalized care that addresses the whole person, not just their symptoms. His patients range from professionals to families to anyone in between—all seeking understanding and a path to emotional well-being. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, PTSD, or ADHD, Dr. Nibras combines evidence-based practices with genuine compassion, forging bonds that facilitate healing and growth.
Outside his professional life, Dr. Nibras values time with family and friends, and he finds joy in nature—whether hiking, biking, or a peaceful long drive. He even has a love for cooking, a reminder of the simple joys that he believes are so integral to a balanced life.
For those seeking a psychiatrist who truly listens, Dr. Nibras offers a complimentary 15-minute audio or video session—an invitation to connect and ask questions before the start of their healing journey.
