HarmonyMBS Personalized mental health care rooted in compassion, discretion, and whole-person healing.
At HarmonyMBS, our mission is to provide discreet, evidence-based, whole-person care for individuals navigating life’s most complex challenges. We consider mind, body, and spirit as part of every collaborative care plan, creating a more fertile environment where healing and growth can take root. Our values of compassion, discretion, collaboration, and respect guide every interaction.
Genuine care and understanding in every interaction.
Privacy and confidentiality as our foundation.
Working together toward your goals while preserving what matters to you.
Honoring your path, experiences, and who you are.
At HarmonyMBS, we approach care as a collaborative process focused on developing a careful, evolving understanding of the whole person. Rather than focusing on isolated symptoms, we want to know how your experiences unfold, interact, and may have changed over time. This process is shaped through open conversation that creates the conditions for important details to surface naturally. As understanding develops, we can adjust care thoughtfully, based on what is present rather than what is assumed. By working outside traditional insurance constraints, we can offer more time, greater continuity, and care guided by clinical judgment rather than brief, standardized encounters, insurance preapprovals, and limitations. We intentionally structure time to create space for deeper insight over time. Care is collaborative; your perspective, observations, and goals are essential to the process, and we make decisions together with clarity and intention.
We work together to keep your North Star in sight, better understand where you are, recognize the progress you’ve made, and adjust as circumstances change. Our role is to offer guidance, perspective, and tools as you move toward the life you hope to build.
Our team brings decades of combined experience in psychiatric care, with each specialist committed to compassionate, evidence-based care shaped around your individual needs. We work collaboratively to develop a thoughtful understanding of what you are experiencing and how care may best support you.
Quality psychiatric care requires both clinical expertise and genuine partnership with patients. I’m committed to thorough evaluation, collaborative treatment planning, and supporting each person as care develops over time.
A board-certified psychiatrist with expertise in comprehensive mental health evaluation and treatment. Dr. Levy brings deep clinical insight to collaborative care, with attention to safety, clinical appropriateness, and the broader treatment picture.
The goal is not to change who you are. It is to understand what may be making it harder to feel like yourself, and to decide together what, if anything, you would like to change.
Mina works with adults managing high-performance lives that can encompass demanding careers, relationships, family responsibilities, personal interests, and a wide range of commitments outside of work. When things begin to feel harder than they once did without an obvious reason, outward success may not reflect how much effort it is taking to keep all the balls in the air.
Throughout her career, Mina has made helping people feel seen and understood an important part of care. She takes time to understand not only what someone is experiencing now, but the broader context around it: what has changed, what has remained consistent, what has worked in the past, and what may be affecting them today. Previous diagnoses and treatment are important parts of that history, but they do not have to predetermine the conclusions reached together.
That perspective has developed over more than 25 years in mental and behavioral health care. Mina began her career as a counselor and therapist and later worked as a registered nurse across psychiatric hospital, community mental health, and residential behavioral health settings. Her experience has exposed her to a wide range of mental health needs and levels of care, while earlier work in emergency, pediatric, and home health nursing contributed to a broader medical foundation.
Across those different settings, Mina learned to look beyond the immediate clinical need and consider what may help someone take the next step forward. That has included helping people reconnect with everyday routines and treatment, considering practical circumstances affecting their well-being, connecting people with additional resources when appropriate, and thinking about what they may need after the immediate clinical encounter has ended.
Today, that same perspective shapes Mina’s approach to comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and ongoing care. She considers mental and physical health, sleep, relationships, work, family and social circumstances, previous treatment, life experiences, and the patterns that emerge across them. Care may include psychotherapy, medication when clinically appropriate, or other next steps based on what she and the patient learn together. The goal is to develop a clearer understanding of what is happening and help each person decide what, if anything, they would like to change.
Mina’s approach is also informed by graduate work focused on culturally responsive care across different cultural and religious backgrounds. As a native Farsi speaker who grew up in Iran, she brings personal experience with Iranian culture alongside formal study of how culture, religion, family roles, and expectations can influence the way people understand and experience mental health care. She brings that same curiosity and respect to people from backgrounds different from her own.
Thorough evaluation helps develop a clearer understanding of what you are experiencing and provides a thoughtful, realistic foundation for care planning.
Ongoing clinical collaboration allows care to evolve as your needs, circumstances, and understanding change over time.
Timely availability can make it easier to access support when you need it.
Every person’s experience is different. Care begins with an Initial Consultation, brief conversation to understand what brings you to HarmonyMBS, answer initial questions, and consider whether the practice may be a good fit. If you continue, your intake information and Comprehensive Evaluation provide additional context for developing a thoughtful understanding of what may be helpful.

HarmonyMBS was created around the belief that thoughtful mental health care should not feel rushed or reduced to a checklist of symptoms. Care begins with understanding the broader context of a person’s life, experiences, goals, and concerns. Treatment recommendations are developed collaboratively and may include psychotherapy, medication management when clinically appropriate, or both.
No. Many people seek support because something feels different, more difficult, or less manageable than it once did, without knowing exactly why. The purpose of care is not to arrive with answers already in hand. It is to explore what has been happening, develop a clearer understanding of contributing factors, and determine what support may be helpful moving forward.
HarmonyMBS provides psychotherapy and medication management when clinically appropriate. Care is individualized and recommendations are based on a person’s needs, preferences, goals, and circumstances. Medication is not assumed to be the starting point for every situation, and psychotherapy often plays an important role in the overall treatment plan.
HarmonyMBS serves adults throughout California through a private-pay telehealth model. Many clients are balancing demanding careers, leadership responsibilities, family obligations, life transitions, or complex personal challenges while trying to maintain performance in important areas of life.
The Initial Consultation is a 20-minute conversation with a HarmonyMBS practitioner. It is designed to help you discuss what has been concerning you, ask questions about the practice and its approach to care, and determine whether moving forward with a Comprehensive Evaluation feels appropriate. There is no obligation to continue care after the consultation.
The private-pay model allows care to be structured around clinical needs rather than insurance requirements. This approach can support greater flexibility in scheduling, longer appointments when appropriate, continuity of care, and a more individualized treatment experience. Clients may also request documentation for potential out-of-network reimbursement when applicable.
Care begins with developing a clearer understanding of what has been changing, how the experience has been unfolding, and what may be contributing to it. A strong starting point often emerges through the Comprehensive Evaluation, while additional context and understanding continue to develop over time. Some experiences are tied closely to stress or life circumstances, while others persist even when external pressures ease. Sleep, health history, stress load, prior treatment experiences, and the way the experience has developed over time all help shape what support may be most useful. Medication may be considered when appropriate, not simply to suppress symptoms, but to reduce the level of constant activation to a level that allows the system to regain flexibility. Care remains collaborative and adjusts over time as understanding deepens and needs change.
Feedback often reflects the experience of being listened to carefully, understood thoughtfully, and not rushed through the process.
