Michelle Daniel

Michelle Daniel

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


For 30 years, I've worked inside schools alongside children and adolescents — as a social worker, an advocate, and someone who genuinely understands how young people think, struggle, and grow. I know what anxiety looks like in a middle schooler. I know how ADHD shows up in a classroom. And I know that the kids and families who need support deserve to get it without spending years trying to find relief.

I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker — a credential I earned in November 2025, after raising two kids of my own while completing every requirement along the way. It took longer than I planned. I wouldn't change it. That experience shapes how I show up for every client.

I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and work as both a school social worker and a therapist, giving me a perspective on young people and families that's grounded in their real, daily lives.

Hello, my name is Patrice Dumas Veraguth, and I am a board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I work with adults and am passionate about providing thoughtful, evidence‐based mental health care that is collaborative, respectful, and individualized.

Virtual & in-person • 24 mi away • Newton, KS


I am passionate about helping others by blending their spiritual walk with their mental health.

My client focus

I work with females aged 18 and older, addressing issues related to family systems, relationships, spiritual integration, trauma, and personal growth.

My journey to becoming a provider

God has been the most important part of my family's healing, and I believe in second chances and that He truly is our hope. I love butterflies because I was once the caterpillar, and with God's help and therapy, I am learning to be the butterfly. I would like to help you fly with freedom too.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

If you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, depression, trauma, mood shifts, or ADHD symptoms and wondering whether medication could help, you’re not alone. I work with teens and adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and stress-related challenges.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my mix of medical expertise and genuine compassion. With a background in both psychiatry and intensive medical care, I understand how closely the mind and body are connected. My goal is to make care accessible and consistent, which is why I offer flexible scheduling and telehealth appointments.

In our first sessions, we’ll review your history, clarify your symptoms, and determine whether medication is appropriate. If it is, we’ll build a treatment plan that feels realistic, evidence-based, and aligned with your goals and overall health.

Outside of work, I find balance through yoga, comedy, time with my dog, and enjoying sunny days — reminders that healing comes from both steady progress and moments of joy.
