Michelle Garrett

Hi, I’m Michelle Garrett, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of nursing experience and practicing as a nurse practitioner since 2015. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from The University of Akron and provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and mood disorders, using a holistic approach that considers your emotional, physical, and life stressors. My style is warm and collaborative, focused on helping you feel heard and supported while building lasting tools for wellness.

My approach is therapeutic and collaborative, not just medication management our sessions are more than prescription check-ins. I take time to understand your experiences, stressors, strengths, and goals.

I integrate evidence-based therapies to help you develop practical coping tools and create meaningful change. My goal is to offer comprehensive, compassionate care that supports your overall well-being — not just symptom control.

Your first session is about getting to know you and building a comfortable, trusting connection. We’ll review your mental health and medical history, current concerns, medications, lifestyle, and goals to create a plan that truly fits you. If needed, we’ll talk through medication options along with simple, practical wellness strategies. Follow-up visits are normally 30 minutes, but individualized to your needs and go beyond refills — we focus on education, support, and building real-life coping skills to strengthen your overall well-being.
