Mindy Leake

Mindy Leake

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • California


Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.

I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.

Jessica Hyatt

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • California


It's hard to find non-judgmental therapy, especially when dealing with subjects that evoke shame. That's why I collaborate to create a therapy that meets you as you are. I hold an affirming space for marginalized orientations, neurotypes, and relationship styles. We can work to navigate major issues like trauma, sexuality and life changes, or an ongoing condition like depression or anxiety. I am also passionate about supporting people through their gender journeys. My therapy is not just inclusive, but is LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming. I also enjoy working with couples or relationship groups as they navigate challenges.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 10 years of experience in various mental health roles supporting teens, adults, and families through stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. I use a mix of approaches like CBT, trauma-focused care, DBT skills, mindfulness, solution-focused work, family systems, and humanistic therapy, tailoring sessions to what actually works for you. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more confident navigating real-life challenges.

As a first-generation Latina, breaking generational stigma around mental health is deeply important to me. I’m passionate about providing culturally responsive care that honors identity, family values, and lived experience while creating safe space for healing and growth.
