Zach Haddox

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

In-person • 8.8 mi away • Dayton, OH


Hi, I’m Zach. I’ve worked in the medical field for the past 17 years, with 15 of those years dedicated to mental health care.

I believe mental health care should feel like a partnership. I often describe my role as being your co-pilot—someone who is here to listen, understand what you’re experiencing, and help you navigate your mental health journey without judgment. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where you can be yourself, feel heard, and take an active role in your care.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and a variety of other mental health concerns. I understand that treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we’ll work together to find an approach that fits your individual needs and goals.

Whether you’ve received mental health treatment before or you’re considering it for the first time, I want you to feel comfortable taking that next step and know that you’ll have someone working alongside you.

I have found therapy to be the place for the client and the counselor to laugh, cry, decide, and embrace the sacred space of change and acceptance in one’s life. I have served in pastoral ministry for eighteen years along with five years as a clinical counselor. I feel that I bring a pastor’s heart of empathy, patience, and compassion into my therapeutic work. I do enjoy serving clients with varied needs and of all faiths.
