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.

Hi, I’m May, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I’m here to help you feel like yourself again. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed. I provide medication management along with tools to support better mood, sleep, focus, and daily functioning. I take time to listen and understand your experience so we can create a plan that fits your needs. With a background in both mental health and special education, I bring patience, empathy, and a commitment to meeting you where you are. If you’re ready for support, I’d be honored to work with you.
I’m Antionette Sob, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to empowering individuals to live fuller, more balanced lives. With over a decade of nursing experience and advanced training in mental health, I aim to provide safe, supportive, and compassionate care. I believe that everyone can heal and grow — sometimes we need the right tools and guidance.
For the past year, I've worked with adults facing serious mental health challenges at one of Los Angeles's largest public health systems, and what I've learned is that lasting change comes from relationships built on trust. Now I'm bringing that experience into private practice, where I can focus on what matters most: your individual progress. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I offer flexible evening and weekend availability via telehealth throughout California. As a PMHNP, I'm here to support your whole mental health journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in San Rafael
Finding psychiatrists in San Rafael starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a psychiatrist may be one option to consider. Review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care focus to see whether their background matches what you want to address.
San Rafael has a smaller local care market than nearby urban areas, so virtual appointments can help expand your options across California. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy as part of care. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber, depending on their needs. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in San Rafael can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see an estimated price before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify your insurance details, and see who is accepting new patients with your plan, so you can review bios and book directly when you’re 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.
