Black Women Deserve Quality
Caring For Your Mental Health Is What I Do
Psychiatry for Black Women
Culturally attuned mental health care in Campbell and across California
Here, your story gets the time it deserves. All of it. The parts that look like success from the outside, and the weariness underneath that you have learned not to name out loud.
I'm Dr. Alecia Greenlee, and I built this practice around the kind of care Black women are too rarely offered. Longer sessions. Close attention to what sits beneath your symptoms. A psychiatrist who understands that your mental health lives inside a life shaped by family, work, history, and the steady labor of being the one who holds everything together.
Care that starts from understanding
Black psychiatrists remain a small fraction of the field, and many Black women have sat across from a clinician who heard the words but missed the meaning. I built Bloom & Build so you would not have to translate yourself to be understood.
The cultural weight you carry is part of the clinical picture, not a side note to it. The pressure to be excellent and unbothered. The exhaustion of code-switching. The way perfectionism can look like high functioning right up until it doesn't. You can bring all of it into the room, in person or on screen, and be met as a thoughtful adult navigating a complicated life. Because you are.
Where I focus
A clinical lens shaped by years of caring for women through careers, motherhood, and the transitions in between.
ADHD That Went Unnamed for Years
Many of the women I see were never evaluated for ADHD, because they were capable, organized on the outside, and quietly working twice as hard to keep up. I offer comprehensive evaluation that takes your full history seriously, including the ways ADHD is so often missed in women and in women of color.
Reproductive Mental Health
PMDD, pregnancy and postpartum, and perimenopause can reshape your mood in ways that deserve real attention rather than reassurance that it is just stress. I offer specialty care for the mood changes that move alongside your reproductive health across the lifespan.
Anxiety, Depression, and Burnout
When you have been the strong one for long enough, anxiety and low mood can settle in quietly and start to feel like simply who you are. They are not. I offer evidence-based, integrative treatment that addresses the patterns underneath the symptoms.
Care includes diagnostic evaluation, medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle medicine, often combined within a single care relationship so you are working with one clinician rather than coordinating between several.
About Dr. Greenlee
UCSF Medical School | Harvard Psychiatry Residency | UChicago Fellowship
I'm a double board-certified psychiatrist with fellowship training in integrative reproductive psychiatry. I founded Bloom & Build to offer psychiatric care that matches the complexity of real lives. My work includes scholarship on training clinicians to recognize the cultural factors that shape psychiatric care, and a long commitment to building clinical spaces where Black women are seen, heard, and treated with depth.
How and where we work
In-person appointments are held in downtown Campbell, convenient to San Jose, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Santa Clara, Cupertino, and Sunnyvale. Telehealth is available throughout California, so you can have the same depth of care from anywhere in the state.
This is an out-of-network practice. You receive a detailed superbill after each visit to submit for possible reimbursement through your out-of-network mental health benefits, and HSA and FSA payments are accepted.
I care for women of many backgrounds. This page exists because some of you have spent a long time looking for a psychiatrist who begins from understanding, rather than one who asks you to explain.
You don't have to keep carrying this alone
We'll talk for fifteen minutes. You tell me what's bringing you in, and we figure out together whether this is the right practice for what you need. If it isn't, I will do my best to point you toward someone who is.
