I am a kind, open-minded person who genuinely values listening and understanding others. I believe that some of the most meaningful connections begin with simply feeling heard. I have an extensive background and passion for psychology, and I am endlessly fascinated by the brain, the mind, and how deeply connected they are to our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my cats, and traveling whenever I get the opportunity. I naturally enjoy helping others navigate life’s challenges, whether that involves problem-solving, relationships, emotional struggles, or finding new perspectives during difficult times. Helping people better understand themselves and move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives is something that brings me genuine purpose.
I also hold a special passion for supporting our military, veterans, and first responders. Being married to one has given me a deeper appreciation and understanding of the sacrifices made by these individuals and their families. I believe the men and women who have served and protected our country are among our nation’s greatest assets, and I feel deeply committed to helping support their mental health, resilience, and quality of life as they continue carrying burdens many others may never fully understand.
Great to meet you!
I am a board-certified adult psychiatrist and have been practicing psychiatry since 2017. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds, including professionals, students, parents, women, men, and LGBTQ+ clients, who may be navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma/PTSD, insomnia, OCD, perinatal mental health, stress, or major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed. I offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, telehealth, and second opinions, with a focus on helping you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work toward meaningful change.
My practice style is open minded, solution focused, and direct to the point. I love to help any individual from a humanistic point of view. I am extremely empathetic, love to be honest and being honest with my patients is key in my every day practice.
I’m Michael Stoneking, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner offering psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults through telehealth in Florida. I help adults experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma-related symptoms, mood concerns, and sleep difficulties. My background in critical care nursing informs how I consider both physical and mental health. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, discussing concerns, and taking an active role in your care.
I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner dedicated to delivering patient-centered care to people of all ages. Throughout the 20 years I have worked in mental health, I have worked with individuals in all stages of the therapeutic journey. I specialize in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorders and OCD, in addition to other conditions.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in social work and therapy, and that experience has shaped how I think about mental health care. I’ve learned that what someone is experiencing is rarely just one thing. Our relationships, environment, past experiences, biology, and daily stressors can all play a role. I became a PMHNP-BC because I wanted to bring medication management into the same thoughtful, whole-person care I had been providing throughout my career.

Hi, I’m Iris, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, mood changes, attention difficulties, or stress that’s making daily life harder than it should be.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on the whole person. I believe mental health care should go beyond simply treating symptoms. Together, we’ll explore the factors that may be affecting how you feel—from life stressors and sleep to hormonal changes and metabolic health—and create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
In addition to psychiatric medication management, I also incorporate hormone-informed mental health care and medical weight management, recognizing how closely emotional well-being, hormones, and physical health are connected.
My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and empowered with a clear path forward.
You don’t have to navigate this alone—support is here when you’re ready.

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 Melbourne
Finding psychiatrists in Melbourne starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners may also diagnose and prescribe. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed training and specialties match what you want to address.
In a smaller city like Melbourne, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger Florida metro areas, so virtual care can expand your options. You may want an in-person office near Downtown Melbourne, Eau Gallie, Suntree, or another nearby area, or you may prefer the flexibility of virtual appointments from home. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare options, review availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style, appointment structure, and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care in Melbourne 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 you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, take your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, review bios, and book a psychiatry appointment 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.
