Stephanie Carmichael

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I’m Stephanie Carmichael, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC. I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience providing care in both medical and mental health settings. My background has allowed me to develop a strong understanding of how physical health, emotional well-being, stress, and life experiences are deeply connected.

I earned my Family Nurse Practitioner degree from East Tennessee State University and my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner degree from Western Kentucky University. I have experience treating individuals across the lifespan with a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related concerns, stress, burnout, and life transitions.

My approach to care is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I believe clients deserve to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in treatment decisions. I focus on building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment where clients can openly discuss their concerns and goals.

I provide evidence-based medication management while also incorporating supportive, therapy-informed care, education, and lifestyle considerations into treatment. My goal is to help clients improve not only their symptoms, but also their overall quality of life and emotional well-being.

Outside of my professional role, I value authenticity, resilience, personal growth, and meaningful connection with others. I understand that seeking mental health care can feel vulnerable, and I strive to make the process approachable, supportive, and empowering.

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


If you're feeling stuck — wrestling with anxiety that won't quiet down, a mood that swings without warning, anger that surfaces faster than you'd like, or the weight of past trauma — you don't have to sort through it alone. I work with adults who are juggling demanding lives while quietly carrying ADHD, depression, grief, chronic pain, or relationship strain that's hard to put into words.

I came to this work after 20 years as a broadcast operations engineer. When an injury changed my path, I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and I've been a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) since 2019. I've practiced in integrated medical clinics with clients of every age, in intensive outpatient care, and in residential settings, and today I work primarily with adults over telehealth across Tennessee.

I see my role as helping you understand where your struggles come from, get clear on what you want therapy to change, and build a concrete, step-by-step plan to get there

Anna Thyberg

Anna Thyberg

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, I’m Anna. I believe mental health is one of the most universal—and most human—experiences we share. Everyone deserves the opportunity to feel grounded, confident, and at peace. My passion for this work comes from seeing how transformative therapy can be when people are given the space and support to truly understand themselves.

With over five years of experience in the treatment field, including three years as a Clinical Director, I specialize in substance use, acute mental health, and life transitions. I work with adults navigating stress, uncertainty, and major turning points, helping them gain insight and move toward stability and self-awareness.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the business world, which taught me the value of clear communication, structure, and solution-oriented thinking. I bring those same principles into therapy—blending empathy with practicality to help you take achievable steps toward a life that feels more stable and fulfilling.
