Hi! I’m Reina and I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m also a Bay Area native, an unapologetic cat lover, a self proclaimed expert of silly reality tv shows, and mom to a sweet, silly little 5 year old.

I work with awesome, fierce women at various stages of motherhood who look like they have it all together on the outside but internally feel like they're consumed with spinning thoughts and worry they're doing it all wrong.

Healing happens in relationships, and I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach, focusing on the whole family system. When one person struggles, it affects everyone.

Mindy Leake

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • 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.

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 Alameda

Searching for therapists in Alameda starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare Alameda therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, and what sessions may be like.

Alameda is a smaller city within the East Bay, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still keeping care connected to California-licensed therapists. When comparing therapy in Alameda, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also help you learn how a therapist communicates, who they typically work with, and how they structure care.

Therapy in Alameda can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for Alameda therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
