Iguelle Bernard, NP — Psychiatrist in Michigan

Hi there, I'm Iguelle!

I specialize in depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. I feel particularly at ease working with teenagers and young adults as they navigate life's pressures and transitions.

My focus

I support teenagers and young adults navigating life's pressures and transitions, and I also enjoy being a support to their parents during this journey.

My approach

My approach is holistic and client-centered, addressing your unique needs and background. I assess symptoms and factors impacting your mental health, including anxiety, depression, mood swings, appetite and sleep changes, impulsive behaviors, intrusive thoughts, and suicidal ideations. We discuss new stressors or triggers.

My communication style

My style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I create a safe and open environment where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns, knowing you'll be met with empathy and without judgment. I use motivational interviewing techniques to foster transparency and build trust, encouraging you to actively participate in your therapeutic journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began when I realized my desire to take the time to listen to clients and provide comprehensive care. I thoroughly enjoy listening to each client's unique story and working together to develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs.

My goals for you

I believe in creating a collaborative environment where you feel comfortable expressing your concerns and goals. Together, we review and adjust your treatment plan as needed, ensuring it aligns with your evolving needs. This may include modifications to your medication regimen or the incorporation of healthy habits and coping strategies.

Our first session

Our first session is an in-depth conversation about your mental health journey. I listen to your story, explore your symptoms, and understand what has worked for you. We identify your triggers, fears, and expectations. This session builds trust and establishes a strong foundation for our therapeutic relationship.
