My patients can expect me to be warm, empathetic, and genuinely interested in their story. I take time to understand not just current struggles, but also personal history and experiences that have shaped who they are. I believe that mental health is deeply connected to overall health, and treating psychiatric conditions can positively impact all areas of life. I work with all patients and conditions, and I always meet people where they are. If someone isn’t ready for medications, I fully support their choice and will be there to provide guidance, education, and care until the time feels right for them. Above all, I listen, I value each person’s perspective, and I aim to create a safe space where patients feel truly heard.

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.
Hello! I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children (6+), teens, adults, and seniors. Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, or bipolar mood swings affect your energy, focus, relationships, and daily life. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, comfortable, and personalized. As a board-certified PMHNP with over five years of experience, I help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, eating disorders, schizophrenia, and other mental health concerns.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who provides compassionate, evidence-based care for adults. My approach is clinical, trauma-informed, and whole-person; I look beyond symptoms alone and consider the many parts of life that shape mental health. I believe care should feel collaborative, supportive, and not overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel understood while creating a treatment plan that fits your life, values, and goals. Whether you are seeking medication management, in-office IV or IM ketamine treatment, or support through a difficult season, I want you to feel safe, respected, and empowered.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Clemente
Searching for psychiatrists in San Clemente starts with knowing what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy and skill-based support. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be part of your care plan. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both.
San Clemente has fewer local psychiatry offices than a larger city, so virtual appointments can help expand your options while still keeping care within California. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment timing, and visit format can make a meaningful difference. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on evaluation and medication management. Read each bio to understand the psychiatrist’s specialties, approach, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is available before you book.
Psychiatric care in San Clemente can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs and understand pricing before care begins. Headway makes it easier to find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who take insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your plan details. You can compare bios, filter by virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
