Getting to know Malaika Alert

Malaika Alert, PMHNP, is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Mindful Health Solutions' Oakland clinic. She specializes in treating patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. In the beginning of her career, Malaika worked as a doula for several years. She noticed many new mothers often struggle with postpartum depression, which sparked her passion for psychiatry. She soon became increasingly interested in mental health and the important role psychiatric care can play in a person’s well-being. With newfound purpose, Malaika returned to school and completed her Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in psychiatry at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. Once she launched back into the healthcare world, she worked in crisis and urgent-care settings as well as community psychiatry settings. She also gained invaluable experience by practicing in outpatient settings, providing psychiatric care and medication management.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Malaika would like her patients to know that struggling with mental health does not mean that improvement is impossible. She's here to guide you toward new possibilities for your mental health care, so you can get back to feeling like yourself again.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Malaika believes patients must first be heard in order to be fully cared for. She is committed to creating an environment where each patient feels respected and comfortable enough to share about their most challenging symptoms. Malaika always listens first, clearly explains treatment options, and then answers any questions or concerns a patient may have. Following their discussions, she partners with patients to create a tailored treatment plan that is suited especially for them. Her approach allows patients from all backgrounds to speak openly and feel empowered as they collaborate on a plan specific to their symptoms, concerns, and goals.
