Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Bowling Green, KY

Actively certified in psychiatry and family practice supports my approach to integrated mental health care. I bring to you over 21 years of experience as an NP. Integrating the identification of mental health disorders and physical disorders such as low testosterone, hormone imbalance, thyroid disorders and vitamin deficiency are key steps to improve overall health. Focused care on the mind and bodies interconnected factors is my passion.

I am a licensed therapist with 16 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, and depression. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices that help foster lasting change. I believe deeply in the healing power of a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic space. I am passionate about helping people understand their experiences, build resilience, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

I'm a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner focused on clear, supportive care that listens to your needs. The idea for Hope Clinic originated in the small town of Hope, KY and is built on serving others. Currently, appointments are by telehealth. I believe care works best when it feels personal and human.

I believe therapy should be real, not stiff. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and human. My style is relaxed, warm, direct, and funny when it helps. I work with people navigating grief, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, chronic health diagnosis, complex family dynamics, marital challenges and complicated expectations placed on women. We will sort though what's heavy, challenge the narratives that aren't' serving you and help realize a life that feels more like your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and working towards growth.

Your therapy is not about me, but in today's climate most people want to know the values of their therapist. I bring a commitment to social justice and equality into my work. This perspective helps me create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood within the full context of their lives.

I’m Dr. Michelle S. McBride, DNP, PMHNP-BC, MBA, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and comprehensive mental health care. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Rush University in Chicago, IL. Before obtaining my doctorate, I was a board-certified psychiatric registered nurse, gaining extensive experience across various clinical settings, including inpatient psychiatry, psychiatric emergency services, community behavioral health, and forensic psychiatry (jail-based care).

I am experienced, confident in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

• Schizophrenia & Schizoaffective Disorder
• Eating Disorders
• Psychosis
• Major Depressive Disorder
• Personality Disorders
• ADHD
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• PTSD
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
• Bipolar Disorders
• Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD)
• Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED)

My mission is to remind others that the strength to rise after a fall already lives within them. Throughout my own journey, I’ve experienced many setbacks—moments when getting back up felt out of reach, and failure felt final. But over time, each fall revealed a lesson, and each step forward brought growth, clarity, and resilience. I possess a diverse clinical foundation, supporting individuals with developmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder, mood and personality disorders, depression, and anxiety. I’ve been honored to serve in multiple therapeutic roles, offering individual, couples, family, and group therapy to those seeking healing and meaningful change.

Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.

My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.

My ideal client is someone who has experienced trauma and/or struggles with substance use. They are looking for a safe and supportive environment to work through their issues and find healing and recovery. They understand the importance of addressing their mental health and are motivated to make positive changes in their life. Their goals include building coping skills, improving relationships, and finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Their desire for change stems from a desire to live a happier and healthier life, free from the negative impacts of trauma and substance use.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, transitions, and moments that can feel overwhelming or uncertain. I work with clients who may be navigating anxiety, stress, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of their next step.

My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. Whether you're processing something specific or just know that things don’t feel quite right, we’ll work together to make sense of what you’re experiencing and move toward meaningful change.

In 2011, I came across a magazine photo of a little girl standing alone, looking confused and crying. Behind her, people from her community were running for safety, not noticing her. Their whole community was about to be destroyed by a tsunami. Later that year, when I faced a big change in my own life, I remembered that picture of the little girl. It reminded me that I was not alone.
