Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m Michael Barnes, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to supporting individuals on their mental health journey. With extensive experience across diverse mental health settings, I have treated a wide range of conditions and take pride in delivering compassionate, evidence-based care. As a retired Army Veteran, I bring a unique understanding to my work. I am passionate about providing a safe and supportive space where clients can heal and thrive.

My approach to therapy

At A Healthy Brain Psychiatry, I take a holistic and collaborative approach to mental health care. I believe that every individual is unique, and I tailor treatment plans to fit your needs and goals. My practice combines evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to address your concerns effectively. Together, we’ll explore solutions that empower you to thrive.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you’ll find a warm and supportive space to share your experiences. I’ll work closely with you to understand your challenges and create a treatment plan that feels right for you. My goal is to help you regain control, improve your quality of life, and build resilience.

The first session involves a thorough psychiatric evaluation which takes approximately 60 minutes. The subsequent follow-up appointments typically last 20-30 minutes.
