You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, carrying grief that feels heavier than expected, struggling with ADHD, or simply trying to make sense of a difficult season in life. Whether you're an adult navigating life's challenges or a child learning how to express big emotions, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and discover new ways forward.
I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I treat a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety and stress, mood disorders, trauma, depression, coping with chronic illness, military family life, and life transitions. I have 30 years of working with service members, families and support system members.
I became a therapist because I believe our struggles deserve to be understood, not just fixed. Too often, people come to therapy feeling like a problem to be solved or a checklist to work through, and that's exactly what I want to push back against. My goal is to help you feel more human, not more clinical.
I earned my Master's in Social Work from Northern Kentucky University in 2014 and hold a certificate in ADHD treatment. I work with adults navigating ADHD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder, and I bring both professional training and personal familiarity to these areas. I know this stuff isn't abstract. It shows up in real life, in real ways, every day.
I’m Dr. Michelle S. McBride, DNP, PMHNP-BC, MBA, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Rush University in Chicago, IL. Before obtaining my doctorate, I was a board-certified psychiatric registered nurse, gaining extensive experience across various clinical settings, including inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, community behavioral health, and forensic psychiatry (jail-based care).
I am experienced, confident in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including:
- Schizophrenia & Schizoaffective Disorder
- Eating Disorders
- Psychosis
- Major Depressive Disorder
- Personality Disorders
- ADHD
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- PTSD
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Bipolar Disorders
- Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)
- Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED)
I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. I take a direct, participatory, and holistic approach — meaning I meet you where you are and work with you, not just for you. I offer virtual care so that quality mental health support is accessible no matter where you are.
I am an Army Veteran as well as current spouse, so I also can relate to the military lifestyle. All are welcome as my clients! Many people come to therapy with many years of experience in therapy or maybe for the first time. As a client of mine, you can ensure you will find a safe space, free from judgment.
I'm a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner focused on clear, supportive care that listens to your needs. The idea for Hope Clinic originated in the small town of Hope, KY and is built on serving others. Currently, appointments are by telehealth. I believe care works best when it feels personal and human.
I am a License Clinical Social Worker. I reviewed my bachelor and masters degrees from the University of Kentucky in clinical social work. I have worked with a variety of populations to include children to adults later in life. I have experience working with families, individuals, and couples.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Lexington, KY
Finding ADHD therapists in Lexington starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, or support with planning and follow-through. Medication management is a separate service offered by psychiatrists and other qualified prescribers, and some people use therapy, medication management, or both. If you are searching for an ADHD specialist for adults, ADHD counseling, or support for a child or teen, look for a therapist whose profile lists ADHD experience with the age group and concerns that match your needs.
In a mid-sized city like Lexington, you may find a useful mix of local therapists and virtual options across the area. In-person appointments may work well if you prefer an office setting, while virtual sessions can expand your search beyond nearby offices and make scheduling easier. ADHD can also appear alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, work stress, or school challenges, so it can help to choose a therapist with experience across those areas. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on approach, availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
ADHD therapy in Lexington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance 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 therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare therapists by specialty, appointment format, and availability, then book directly when you find a fit.
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.
