Great to meet you!

Welcome! I am Dr. Michelle Rake! I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner providing medication management services/brief therapy.

Are you looking for a Psychiatry provider that listens to you and includes you in the your treatment plan? Would you like a compassionate, non-judgemental psychiatry provider that provides a comfortable, safe environment? Do you want to feel empowered knowing you are on the proper medications to overcome your struggles, and turn around your life?

Let me help you today!

My approach to therapy

My style of practice includes both traditional (follows evidence based prescribing guidelines), and alternative medicine (lifestyle modifications such as supplements, vitamins, exercise and diet). I am passionate about providing high quality, integrated, comprehensive, individualized care. Please note that at this time we do not prescribe benzodiazepines.


Finally by partnering with Headway, I have a large therapist referral source for any need you have!

What you can expect from me

I believe success begins with strong communication in order to put together a treatment plan tailored to each clients capabilities and outcome goals. Using evidence based medicine, I take time to formulate an individualized plan for each client.


My practice is to maintain you on the lowest therapeutic doses of medications, to minimize any side effects, while obtaining the greatest outcome for you. At this time, I am not prescribing benzodiazepines.


I look forward to working with you!
