Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or mood changes that make everyday life feel heavy? You don't have to figure it out alone. I'm Dr. Denise Williams, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and over 14 years of experience in psychiatry. I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for teens (12+) and adults through convenient, 100% virtual telehealth visits.
I help clients with anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, grief, and stress. I have a special interest in women's mental health, and I'm deeply honored to work with veterans and their unique experiences.
My background in psychiatric crisis stabilization and correctional mental health taught me to meet every person where they are, with no judgment. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, races, and cultures, because culturally humble, affirming care is essential, not optional.
If you are caring for someone with a serious illness, raising a child with complex needs, or running on empty after years of putting everyone else first — this is the right place.
You already know how to show up for the people you love. What's harder is asking for something for yourself. Many of my clients waited longer than they should have before reaching out, because they felt guilty, or because they convinced themselves they could handle it alone. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: getting support isn't a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that you're paying attention.
I am a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life's most demanding chapters — serious illness, end-of-life care, caregiving, grief, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from loving someone with complex needs. My hospice and palliative care background has shaped the way I work: with deep respect for what people are carrying, and a focus on dignity, whole-person care, and what actually helps in real life.
I am also a parent of a child with Down syndrome. I know what it means to receive a diagnosis that reshapes your family's future. I've navigated IEP meetings, medical appointments, the emotional complexity of caregiving, and the way people who love you still don't quite understand. That lived experience is not separate from my clinical work — it's at the center of it. When you sit across from me, you won't have to explain yourself from the beginning. www.anchorfamilybh.com
I’m a board-certified Family Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and former Navy Corpsman with over 20 years of medical experience. My background spans oncology, ICU, and community mental health, which allows me to care for clients across the lifespan—from children to older adults—with a well-rounded, compassionate perspective.
I take a holistic, patient-centered approach, focusing on truly understanding your unique needs and goals. In addition to treating conditions like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood disorders, I offer advanced treatment options such as Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), hormone therapy, and ketamine infusion therapy for those who haven’t found relief with traditional approaches.
My name is Chantal Baptiste, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C. I am dually certified in psychiatry and family, and hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree, which allows me to combine advanced clinical training with a holistic, patient-centered approach. My passion is serving individuals and families by providing evidence-based mental health care that promotes healing, resilience, and lasting well-being. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel truly heard, valued, and empowered to reach their goals.
I’m Dr. Madeline Michel, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with nearly 20 years of nursing experience and more than 13 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing at Florida Atlantic University and hold three board certifications as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Gerontological Nurse Practitioner through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of caring for individuals across the lifespan in a variety of clinical settings. My professional background includes psychiatry, substance use disorders, cognitive disorders, and neurology. I previously practiced as a neurology hospitalist nurse practitioner at several hospitals throughout South Florida and as a cognition-specialized Gerontological Nurse Practitioner at the Louis and Anne Green Memory Wellness Center, a state-designated Memory Disorder Clinic. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of the relationship between mental, cognitive, neurological, and physical health.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than a decade of experience caring for children, teens, and adults. My goal is to help each person better understand their symptoms and discover practical ways to improve their overall quality of life. I specialize in treating ADHD, behavioral concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood changes.
I am a psychiatric provider who specializes in working with adults experiencing anxiety and depression, and I’m passionate about creating a space where you feel genuinely seen and heard. My clinical background includes formal training in evidence-based treatments for mood and anxiety disorders, and I have experience supporting clients from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. I strive to bring both professional expertise and a warm, grounded presence to every session so that you feel comfortable sharing what’s really going on in your life.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Cape Coral
Finding psychiatrists in Cape Coral starts with understanding the type of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Psychiatry may be part of care for concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and OCD. When you compare psychiatrists, look for listed specialties, clinical focus areas, and experience with concerns that match what you want support with.
In a mid-size city like Cape Coral, your search may include local offices near areas like Pelican, Tarpon, and Surfside, along with virtual appointments across Florida. Psychiatric visits for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Review each profile for appointment availability, visit format, and communication style before booking.
Psychiatric care in Cape Coral can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences, so you can review 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.
