Healthy Mind Restorative Psychiatry 
 Nicole Alba-Valencia, MD
Thoughtful, personalized psychiatric care through therapy, health-focused lifestyle strategies, medication management, or a combination tailored to you.
Welcome to Healthy Mind Restorative Psychiatry, my private practice.
I’m Nicole Alba-Valencia, MD, a California-based psychiatrist who has been supporting the wellbeing of adults and older teens for over 15 years.
People seek the support of a psychiatrist for many different reasons. Sometimes, it’s to better understand themselves and move through life’s challenges with greater ease. Other times, people reach out during periods of struggle, which are a natural part of all our lives.
Life brings seasons of uncertainty, loss, growth, and renewal. At times, we find ourselves in a season that feels especially heavy to move through, one that would be trying for anyone. During these periods, it’s common to notice shifts in mood, sleep, energy, focus, physical health, or relationships. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or concerned that things could worsen. Even people who care about you may not fully understand what you are experiencing, which can feel isolating.
While each person’s story is unique, if this resonates, you are not alone, and you do not have to navigate the challenges you are facing on your own. Reaching out takes courage and can be a powerful first step toward greater stability, resilience, and renewed hope.
At different points in our lives, many of us benefit from caring, professional support as we move toward greater wellbeing.
Whatever brought you here, welcome. I look forward to meeting you.
My Approach Â
I offer comprehensive psychiatric care within a supportive partnership, where together we select evidence-based treatment that fits your goals and needs. Treatment may include psychotherapy, medication management, guidance around health-promoting lifestyle practices, either individually or in combination.
I view mental health and wellbeing from a whole-person perspective, recognizing the deep connection between mind, body, relationships, and life circumstances.
My therapeutic style is steady, warm, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe space where we move at a pace that feels manageable, helping you reconnect with your strengths as you gradually move toward greater clarity and stability.
Services and Private Pay
Secure telehealth appointments are available throughout California, with in-person availability in select locations. Treatment is offered in English or Spanish.
My practice is private pay, which allows me to provide individualized treatment that can include therapy, medication management, or a thoughtful combination of both, while prioritizing privacy, flexibility, and depth of care. If you choose to pursue out-of-network reimbursement, as permitted by your plan, I provide superbills and clear guidance to navigate that process.
I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation to briefly discuss your concerns, learn what you are hoping for, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
If you would like to schedule a consultation with no obligation to move forward, you may leave a message on my confidential office line, send a message to my secure email address, or connect through the links on this website.
Reaching out is a meaningful step. When you are ready, I welcome the opportunity to connect.
