I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience working in mental health, with a primary focus on women’s mental health. I support women navigating depression, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions, especially those who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted internally.
I believe deeply in the power of words and how they shape our mental and emotional well-being. My work is rooted in speaking life, clarity, and hope into spaces where patients may feel discouraged or stuck. I work with all adults who are seeking thoughtful, intentional, holistic care.
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, therapy, or both, 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 Christina! I’m a double board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 12 years of experience in healthcare. I earned my bachelor’s degree from UCLA, master’s from Cal State LA, and post-graduate certification from National University.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in family practice, urgent care, and emergency settings, which has given me a broad understanding of how physical and mental health are connected.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right psychiatrist in San Luis Obispo starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how that medication is working over time. If you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or PTSD, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) may be the right fit. Both can prescribe and manage medication, though their training backgrounds differ.
San Luis Obispo has a smaller pool of psychiatric providers compared to larger California cities, which can make the search feel limited — especially for in-person care. Virtual sessions are one way to expand your options, connecting you with licensed providers across California who specialize in your specific concerns. Whether you prefer in-person appointments in San Luis Obispo or virtual visits from home, reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.
Psychiatry sessions in San Luis Obispo can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatric provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
