Michael Bell's journey to psychiatry was a vast and aw-inspiring as the Florida skies of his youth, where he watched space shuttles carve paths to the stars. Initially set on a course toward surgey, a path forged by his experiences as a U.S. Army medic, a chance encounter with a poem by Emily Dickson - "The Brain" - is wider than the sky" - ignited a new passion, but within the intricate, infinite universe of the human mind. This became his new frontier.

Christina Doss Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializes-

in helping adults and young adults navigate anxiety, ADHD/ADD, depression, burnout, hormonal - changes, postpartum (PPD) concerns, family and relationship stress, and other mental health challenges that impact daily life and overall well-being.

If you are feeling mentally exhausted, have brain fog, struggling to focus, or finding it difficult to keep up with the demands of work, school, relationships, parenting, or everyday responsibilities, you are not alone.

Many women and men come to treatment during seasons of transition, whether they are navigating career changes, academic pressures, relationship or marriage concerns, divorce, parenting stress, grief, health challenges, or adjusting to a new stage of life.

Others may be struggling with ADHD, focus and concentration difficulties, organization, motivation, time management, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life.

Many are also experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, brain fog, or feeling disconnected from the life they want to create.My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized.

Together, we will look at the whole picture—not just symptoms, but also your relationships, strengths, stressors, and goals—to create a plan that fits your unique needs.As an independent provider, I believe meaningful mental health care begins with feeling heard. My goal is for every patient to feel seen, understood, and supported.

I believe hope, guidance, and the right support can make a powerful difference. My role is to walk alongside you, help clear the path forward, provide practical tools, and empower you to move toward the life you want to create. You don't have to do it alone.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Akron, OH

Finding psychiatrists in Akron starts with understanding the kind of care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy. Medication management can involve reviewing symptoms, discussing how care is going, and adjusting a care plan when clinically appropriate. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and training to see how their background lines up with your needs.

Akron offers a meaningful local care network, with in-person options near areas like West Akron, Chapel Hill, and Summit Lake, plus virtual appointments that can add more scheduling flexibility. Psychiatric appointments, especially medication management visits, are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment times, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios can also help you understand communication style, specialties, and what to expect before booking.

Psychiatric care in Akron can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are verified as accepting new patients with your plan, so you can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
