Mental health support is accessible in Cleburne through Headway's 955 licensed providers who specialize in talk therapy and medication management. Our warm, solution-oriented providers are available for virtual or in-person sessions, with many offering free consultations to help you find the right fit.
My clinical style is warm, structured, and collaborative. I emphasize clear communication and shared decision-making with my patients. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where people feel heard and respected.
I have an AGACNP background, which supports my ability to assess medical comorbidity and understand complex medical/psychiatric overlap. I am also DOT-certified, which reflects my knowledge of safety-sensitive considerations and careful medication risk assessment.
If you’re the one everyone depends on but you feel anxious, burned out, or emotionally drained, you don’t have to keep pushing through alone. I work with adults who are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside, especially women, professionals, parents, caregivers, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and over 20 years of experience across diverse healthcare settings. As a veteran, I bring personal understanding of military culture and chronic stress. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and judgment-free, blending evidence-based medication management with supportive, real-world conversation.
If you’re looking for care that feels thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to your life, not rushed or one-size-fits-all, invite you to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward feeling more grounded and supported.
Hi! I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I graduated with FNP from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in 2016. I practiced in a rural health family practice clinic for 5 years before returning to school to get my PMHNP to provide better care for my clients. I help children and adults ages 5 and up overcome life's challenges and achieve mental well-being.
Michael M. Zavala, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC is a Texas and New Mexico based Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner focused on holistic integrative psychiatry.

My goal is to help you feel better—not just temporarily, but long-term.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide comprehensive evidence-based care for children and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, insomnia, and other mental health concerns. I combine medication management with supportive psychotherapy to create personalized treatment plans that help patients achieve lasting wellness. I also specialize in evaluating and treating treatment-resistant depression, including determining whether advanced therapies such as Spravato® (esketamine) may be appropriate. My goal is to ensure every patient feels heard, supported, and empowered with a clear path toward recovery.
Healing isn't linear and I understand that deeply, both professionally and personally. As a dual -certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and an attorney, I bring a unique, comprehensive perspective to care. But more than titles, I bring lived experience.
I know grief intimately. The pain I carried afterwards was unexplainable. It didn't fit into a neat diagnosis or timeline. That experience shaped not only how I show up for others but why I do my work.
Whether you are navigating the aftermath of a death, a medical diagnosis, a relationship rupture, or job loss, I offer a safe, grounded and trauma focused space. I help clients process complex emotions, rebuild self-trust, and gently move toward healing, at your own pace.
If you're carrying something heavy, you don't have to carry it alone. I'd be honored to walk with you.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding psychiatrists in Cleburne starts with understanding the kind of care you want to receive. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or other modalities. For concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, some people start with a psychiatrist, while others work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading specialties and bios can help you find a clinician whose training matches your needs.
In a smaller city like Cleburne, the number of local psychiatry offices may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still allowing you to choose in-person care when it fits your schedule. Psychiatric care often has a different rhythm than therapy: medication management visits are usually shorter and less frequent than talk therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people see a therapist in Cleburne, TX while meeting with a prescriber for medication support. Before booking, compare appointment times, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each clinician describes their communication style.
Psychiatric care in Cleburne can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists and other prescribing clinicians who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, read bios, 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.
