Hi, I’m Amy — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 23 years of experience helping adults build confidence, manage anxiety, and find clarity in their next steps. I believe mental health is the foundation for happiness and stability. I earned my Doctor of Social Work from the University of California and my Master’s from Loyola University Chicago.
I support clients through a warm, attuned, and relationship‐centered approach. My intention is to be collaborative, helpful, and grounded in trust‐based, relational work. If you’re ready for a space where your story is honored, I'm here. Sometimes we can struggle in how we connect, trust, and regulate our emotions throughout life, influencing our levels of anxiety, depression, and overall ability to manage mood. I have worked with persons with disabilities, children, adults, and families to help find balance.
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!
I have my Master of Social Work from New York University and have worked in Social Services and Behavioral Healthcare for more than 26 years between New York City and Philadelphia. I offer individual therapy to support my clients in their work to live their best lives, whatever that means to them. I have experience working in inpatient psychiatry and outpatient counseling.
I've spent 14 years helping people navigate their mental health. I believe you deserve a provider who truly knows you — not just your chart. I offer both in-person and telehealth appointments, so you can choose what works best for your schedule and your life. My work centers on psychiatric evaluation and medication management, and I take the time to fully understand what's going on before any treatment decisions are made. I'm direct, accessible, and committed to being a steady, consistent presence in your care.
