Hi, I'm Ruth. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in nursing and behavioral health, and I am deeply committed to providing compassionate, personalized care. My experience includes inpatient behavioral health, psychiatric nursing, hospice care, and community-based settings, which has given me the opportunity to support people through many different stages of life and healing. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, insomnia, stress, and other mental health challenges.
I’m Brandee, PMHNP-BC and founder of Kaleidoscope ClearPath Wellness. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, personal, and easy to understand. Healing happens when we slow down, listen to ourselves, and take small, caring steps forward. My approach blends mental health care with mindfulness, balance, and everyday habits that support your whole life. Here you'll find a gentle, judgment-free space for growth and clarity. My goal is simple; help you feel better and move forward with confidence.
You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.
I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.
I specialize in:
- Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
- High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
- Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.
Why Work With Me?
I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.

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 Macon
Finding psychiatrists in Macon starts with knowing the kind of mental health care you’re looking for. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and do not prescribe. For concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both. As you compare options, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want support with.
In a smaller city like Macon, the number of local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger Georgia markets, so virtual care can help expand your options. Medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy as part of care. When reviewing profiles, compare appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Bios can also show how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they focus on, and what to expect in a first appointment.
Psychiatric care in Macon 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 needs, accept your insurance plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs upfront, browse psychiatrist 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.
