I enjoy being part of a client's process of learning ways to make their life work and help them feel good about themselves. I have psychiatric, educational, and life experience of 20 years in the field. This is dynamic counseling involving new tool and ways to look at situations. The 60 minutes session will give you at least one tool to help you do your life in a different way. Then we refine tools the next week. Goal setting and review will be part of your therapy work.

I'm Deidre, and for over two decades I've helped people move through some of life's most painful and disorienting transitions — loss, illness, divorce, relationship struggles, aging, and the quiet fears that come with facing mortality. My clients often tell me that what they needed most wasn't advice — it was someone who truly listened, who could help them make sense of what they were feeling and find a path forward. That's what I'm here to do!

Terry Ryan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • San Jose, CA


I have been working as a therapist for the past 40 years in a variety of settings and contexts. Much of my experience has focused on supporting children, adolescents, and their families through emotional, behavioral, and life challenges. I spent 18 years working in a high school setting and have also worked with a range of nonprofit agencies throughout my career, giving me extensive experience supporting individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

I approach therapy as a partnership and strive to support clients in working through whatever challenges they may be facing with compassion, honesty, and understanding. I believe that healing happens through connection, trust, and feeling genuinely supported. I also believe humor is an essential part of the healing process, and when appropriate, I like to bring warmth and lightness into the work we do together.

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.
