Michelle Pinckney, NP — Psychiatrist in California

Hi there, I'm Michelle!

I provide psychiatric assessments and medication management services to support your mental health journey.

My focus

My work in mental health includes supporting people with serious mental illnesses, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, psychotic disorders, personality disorders, intellectual disorders, and cognitive disorders. I look forward to working with you to meet your healthcare needs.

My approach

I will tailor therapy to your individual needs. My approach to providing mental healthcare is patient-centered.

My communication style

My communication style is firm and direct. I allow patients to navigate their mental health journey by sharing their lived experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I see the mental healthcare population as an underserved population that needs an advocate to break down the barriers to care.

My goals for you

I allow the patient to set the goals that are achievable to them based on the direction that they want to move in.

Our first session

Come prepared to receive open communication in a judgment-free environment. I will not judge you or your answers. I want to create a safe space for you to share whatever you want. I want you to feel comfortable and free. My goal is for you to walk away from each session knowing you have support and a good place to vent and process.
