Leena Mittal
I have lived in Brookline since 2005 when I moved here to begin residency in psychiatry, and
my husband Seth and I have lived here together since 2006. We are parents to two boys in
4th and 7th grade at Runkle. Our family has been active playing and coaching many own
sports in Brookline over the years, though we are now focusing on lacrosse (town and club)
and ski racing in Vermont. At Runkle, I have served as a Room Parent for many years and
have worked with other parents to start a group called Runkle Organizing Against Racism
(ROAR) which is a parent led group working to move antiracist principles forward in our
school community.
Professionally, I am a reproductive psychiatrist, specializing in mental health needs for
women. I spent the majority of my career in academia, primarily at Brigham and Women’s
Hospital, though am now starting a private practice here in Brookline.
