Hi, I’m Micah, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a decade of overall healthcare experience across the lifespan—from pediatric care to hospice care. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and mood disorders, and I believe care should feel like a real conversation—not a lecture.

Hi, I’m Christopher, a board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and a background in both healthcare and military leadership. My experience includes working in high‐intensity medical environments where I supported individuals facing significant stress, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma‐related concerns, and high levels of stress. My goal is to provide care that is empowering, holistic, and supportive, helping clients build resilience and regain a sense of balance in their lives.
I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.

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 Houston
Finding the right psychiatrist in Houston starts with understanding the kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you are searching for support with anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, look for a psychiatrist whose profile lists training and experience that match your needs.
Houston has many mental health specialists across neighborhoods like Montrose, the Heights, Midtown, and the Medical Center, and the number of choices can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether an in-person office fits your commute or whether virtual psychiatry appointments work better with your schedule. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand their specialties, appointment style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Houston 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 search for Houston psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners who match your preferences, are accepting new patients, and may accept your plan. You can compare profiles, review appointment times, and book directly when you are 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.
