Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Bend, OR

I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner because I did my own work first — after years in a career that looked fine from the outside and felt hollow on the inside, something finally clicked. I live with ADHD and ASD myself, and I'll be direct: it makes me better at this. I'm wired to hold fine details and the big picture simultaneously, connect patterns across a history, and notice what other providers might miss. I work especially well with children and adolescents (ages 6+), perinatal and antepartum folks, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people who are AFAB or identify as women — many navigating ADHD, autism, PTSD, PMDD, OCD, mood disorders, or a diagnosis that never quite fit. If previous providers didn't get the full picture of you, that's exactly the gap I'm here to close.

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.

Hi, I share a home office with my four-legged boy, Jack. He is a pedigree mutt who helps keep me grounded during my workday. We help people with a variety of issues, and specialize in working with people who have lived through or are currently living through trauma. Big Ts that everyone recognizes as traumatic experiences, and Subtle Ts that people are often told to "just get over."

I am a licensed professional counselor with a bachelors degree in social work and a masters degree in community mental health counseling. I am committed to helping folks who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, psychiatric disorders and many other life challenges. I also have extensive experience in working with First Responders on a local and federal level. I have provided treatment and support services for individuals who have experienced life altering events which include but are not limited to grief and bereavement including infant loss, cancer, and other end-of-life issues.

Hello, my name is Jessica Garbutt Burden, and I have been working as a licensed Clinical Social Worker for 9 Years and in the field for 16year. I choose the field of social work because of the strength based solution focused applroach, In undergradute school I focused on international studies incorporating polical science, philosphy, anthropology and spiritual studies at University of St, Thomas University and recived a BA ininternational studies with a focus on Latin America. I then began working with at-risk youth as a program director in Campfire USA's school-based program in partnership with the Police Actvity League and Sun Schools. It was through that work that i found my true calling was therapy focused on inclusion, incresing individuals streanth and processing trauma.

After graduate school I continued my work with Morrison and worked providing Crisis intervention and prevention, and intensive home-based therapy for families in crisis. I now specialize in mood disorders, PTSD and CPTSD.

I have a world class education, but there is more to me than that: There have been many iterations of "Alan" over the long years of my life. There is the drug addict that has walked the clean and sober path for 33 years. There is the truck driver and the tattoo artist, the husband (married 31 years), the father, the grandfather, the great grandfather, the foster father, the step-father. There is the Buddhist and the philosopher. I am reaching out to you. There is nothing you can tell me that will offend me.

And I can write a darned good introduction too! LOL!

I hope to meet you soon!
