Dr. Catherine Nash

Psychologist

Virtual • California


Hi there! My name is Dr. Catherine Nash and I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience supporting adult individuals from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma, women’s mental health, and other psychological challenges with a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy, promoting overall health and wellness.

I’ve always been fascinated by the connection between mental health and overall well-being, which led me to pursue a career in psychology. My passion for serving underserved populations grew through experiences in behavioral medicine within an integrated primary care model, where I saw the profound impact of mental health on overall health. Over time, I’ve focused my practice on women’s mental health, addressing trauma, emotional well-being, and co-occurring conditions. I strive to create safe, culturally sensitive spaces where clients can explore, grow, and thrive, with an approach centered on empathy, education, and empowerment.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy works best when you feel truly heard — not judged. I bring warmth, honesty, and a no-nonsense approach to our work together. My goal is for every client to leave each session feeling a little more understood and a little more equipped than when they walked in. I work with most major insurance plans, so getting quality care shouldn't have to break the bank.

Jose Hernandez

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a naturally curious, growth-oriented human who believes healing happens when insight meets action. I love helping people zoom out to see the bigger picture of their lives—while also gently zooming in on the patterns, habits, and beliefs that shape their everyday experience.

I’m drawn to the intersection of self-awareness and real-world momentum. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. We can explore the deep stuff—identity, relationships, purpose, transitions—while also building practical tools you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon when life is lifing.

I value emotional honesty, nervous system regulation, and sustainable growth over quick fixes. I believe you’re not broken—you’re adaptive. Together, we figure out what’s working, what’s outdated, and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned, empowered, and authentically you.

Expect warmth, insight, humor when it fits, and a space where all parts of you are welcome. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical and cold—it can be connected, intentional, and even a little energizing.

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.
