I run a niche mental health clinic called Kavah Wellness Psychiatry. I hold a bachelors degree, two masters degree and a doctor of nursing practice degree. I have almost a decade of experience in the mental health sector. I love everything mental health!
I am a doctorally educated, board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I have additional training and experience in perinatal mental health and addiction medicine. I have worked in the psychiatric field for eight years and have been practicing as a nurse practitioner for three.
If you feel like your mind is running in a hundred different directions, you are missing out on moments, struggling financially, and in your relationships, it might be time to get help.

As a triple board-certified nurse practitioner ( nurse midwife, family practitioner, and mental health), I believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. I have many years of experience in the perinatal mental health field, but I enjoy caring for all walks of life. I currently care for clients aged 10-65 for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar, PTSD, and perinatal disorders, among others.

I focus on evidence-based practices delivered with compassion, ensuring every patient feels heard, understood, and supported throughout their health journey. With over four years of experience in outpatient and primary care, I’ve helped patients navigate complex medical and mental health challenges, empowering them to take an active role in their well-being.
I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from George Washington University, and I’m dual board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I provide care for patients of all ages, genders, and backgrounds through telehealth, addressing both physical and mental health.

Hi, I'm Michael — a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in both Oregon and California. I believe that feeling truly heard is the foundation of good psychiatric care, and I bring that belief into every appointment.
I earned my Master of Science in Psychiatric/Mental Health Nursing from Regis College and have built my clinical background across a range of settings that gave me deep insight into the complexity of mental health. That breadth of experience shapes the thoughtful, whole-person approach I bring to my work today. I am solution oriented with the intention of bringing all that I have learned over the years to the table to get you to your best, thriving self.
I specialize in adult and geriatric populations and provide evidence-based care for depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, and sleep disorders. My treatment approach integrates psychopharmacology with individual therapy modalities including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Positive Validation — because medication is only one supportive tool.
I also bring a holistic perspective to mental health care — as a trained Reiki Master, I recognize that healing extends beyond medication alone and encompasses the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. I maintain an awareness of integrative and complementary approaches, including energy work, sound therapy, acupuncture, and plant medicine, and welcome open, nonjudgmental conversations with clients who are exploring or curious about these paths.
I currently offer telehealth appointments, and I'm committed to creating a warm, culturally competent space where clients feel safe being honest about what they're going through. Whether you're seeking care for the first time or looking for a provider who will truly partner with you in your mental health journey, I'd be honored to work with you.
Hello, my name is Jenny Brady. I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, accepting patients between the ages of 5 and 70.

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 Psychiatrist in Bend, OR
Finding psychiatrists in Bend starts with knowing what kind of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide 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 therapist, some start with a prescriber, 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.
Bend is a smaller market, so local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger Oregon cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you connect with a psychiatrist licensed in Oregon. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so it helps to review availability, appointment format, and whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Reading bios before you book can show how each psychiatrist structures care, communicates, and supports people with concerns like yours.
Psychiatric care in Bend 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 care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer clear price estimates after you add your insurance details. You can browse psychiatrists in Bend, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, 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.
