Emilie Michael, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C, is a dual-certified Nurse Practitioner dedicated to a whole-person approach to psychiatric care that goes beyond standard medication management. By combining her psychiatric expertise with her background in family and emergency medicine, Emilie bridges the gap between physical and mental health care, ensuring that treatment plans address the whole person rather than just a list of symptoms.
Emilie is a strong proponent of thoughtful prescribing and prioritizes shared decision-making with her patients. Whether initiating new treatment plans, simplifying complex medication regimens, or helping patients optimize their current care, Emilie works to provide holistic care that honors each patient's values.
The first session with Emilie is primarily an opportunity to get to know one another and ensuring they are a good fit to work together. She will take time to discuss each client's current concerns, personal history, and goals for treatment while gathering the information needed to better understand their symptoms and concerns. She may also introduce relevant screening or diagnostic assessments and begin exploring possible diagnoses. Follow-up appointments are typically focused on refining the diagnosis and developing a personalized treatment plan.
