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.

My goal is simple: to make psychiatric care feel a little more human.

Hello, my name is Miguel A. Diaz and I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. I was born and raised in rural South Texas, which gives me a deep understanding of the unique challenges our local communities face when it comes to mental health care. My experience as a U.S. Army veteran has taught me the importance of resilience, service, and compassion—values I bring to every client relationship.
I specialize in providing psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and ADHD. My practice focuses on increasing access to care for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, especially those living in underserved rural areas. Whether you’re new to mental health treatment or looking for ongoing support, you can expect care that is empathetic, evidence-based, and tailored to your individual needs.
I welcome you to reach out and take that first step toward improving your well-being.
Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you've tried therapy or medications in the past without getting the relief you were hoping for. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and toward feeling like yourself again.
I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.
I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.
For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.
Patients often describe me as warm, approachable, honest, and solution focused. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatments haven't worked, I'm committed to helping you build lasting emotional wellness and improve your quality of life.

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 Texas
Searching for psychiatrists in Texas starts with knowing what kind of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists provide talk therapy and related support. Both can be valid entry points depending on your needs. People often look for psychiatric care for anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or medication management. Across a large state like Texas, the right fit may vary by region, so review each psychiatrist’s training, listed specialties, and care focus before you book.
In Houston, Dallas, Austin, and other parts of Texas, your search may include both in-person and virtual psychiatry options. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so availability, appointment format, and scheduling flexibility can matter as much as location. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Reading bios can help you understand whether a psychiatrist focuses on evaluation, ongoing medication management, therapy, or a combination of services.
Psychiatric care in Texas can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and browse Texas psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Texas and see your estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking.
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.
