Mindy Leake

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Novato, CA


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.

I have been a Nurse Practitioner in an Emergency Department for over ten years. Due to the pandemic, our emergency room has been impacted by psychiatric patients, and I realized that there is a need for nurse practitioners like me to truly help others. Some patients wait hours or overnight in our emergency department to be evaluated. I want to bridge the gap and make a difference by providing care here in Headway.

Virginia Rubio

Virginia Rubio

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I’m Virginia Rubio, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Wilkes University and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington.


Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent more than a decade as a registered nurse, and those years shaped the kind of provider I am today. I worked on telemetry and medical-surgical units at a community hospital, cared for patients at a state psychiatric hospital, and provided care in correctional and juvenile health settings. I often met people at some of the hardest moments of their lives, many of whom had been dismissed or overlooked before. Sitting with them taught me something I carry into every visit: being truly listened to is part of healing.


Today I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and trauma and PTSD. I’m especially drawn to women’s mental health, including perinatal concerns, hormonal and life transitions, and the quiet pressures so many women carry without ever putting a name to them. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I see patients throughout California by secure video.


Outside of work, I recharge with my family, time outdoors, staying active, and a mindfulness practice I’ve kept up for years. These aren’t separate from my work. They’re a big part of why I believe our daily habits and our emotional health are so closely connected, and why I bring both into the care I provide.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Walnut Creek

Finding psychiatrists in Walnut Creek starts with knowing what kind of care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and support. Both can be helpful depending on your needs. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address.

In a smaller city like Walnut Creek, local appointment options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual visits can give you more choice while still letting you search for in-person care near Downtown, Northgate, Civic Center, or nearby East Bay communities. Psychiatric care often involves shorter, less frequent appointments than therapy, especially for medication management. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read each psychiatrist’s bio to understand their focus areas, appointment style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Psychiatry in Walnut Creek can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, may be accepting new patients, and match your preferences for location, virtual care, specialty, and schedule — so you can review bios, compare estimated costs, 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.
