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 believe deeply in the power of connection, healing, and human resilience. I’ve spent over 20 years walking alongside children, adults, and families through some of life’s hardest seasons.

What motivates me the most in this work is how meaningful change and healing can occur when a person feels truly seen, supported, and valued. I’ve witnessed incredible strength in the face of hardship. I’m continually inspired by the courage it takes to show up and do the work. It’s sacred work, and I’m grateful every day to be doing it.

Find the right therapist 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 Santa Clarita

Searching for therapists in Santa Clarita starts with understanding what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, experience, and approach match what you want to work on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family-focused support.

Santa Clarita has therapists across areas like Valencia, Canyon Country, Newhall, and Saugus, along with virtual options across California. Some people prefer meeting in an office close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointments that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you understand how they describe their style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.

Therapy in Santa Clarita can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Santa Clarita, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
