Hi, I’m Marilyn.


You may look like you’re holding everything together while inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or not like yourself anymore.


Maybe your mind won’t slow down, your motivation has changed, past experiences keep affecting you, or stress has become your new normal. You don’t have to keep pushing through and wondering why you still don’t feel like yourself.


I’m a dual board-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner providing psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD/trauma, stress, and emotional overwhelm.

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 Muskegon

Finding psychiatrists in Muskegon starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. Medication management may be part of care 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. Look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties, training, and experience match what you want support with.

In a smaller city like Muskegon, local psychiatric appointment options may be more limited, so virtual appointments can expand the number of psychiatrists available to you. Psychiatric care often has a different cadence than therapy: medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than ongoing therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, while others focus on evaluation and medication management. As you compare options, review availability, appointment format, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and what their bio says about communication style and areas of focus.

Psychiatric care in Muskegon can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before an appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated session costs before booking, review psychiatrist profiles, 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
