Thinking differently about your mental health.
Our team
Michaela Beaver, DNP, PMHNP, FNP
Hello, I'm Michaela (Mishayla).
I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner. I am from the Midwest. I graduated from the University of Iowa with my Doctorate degree in 2014. I have been in the health care field for 17 years. I have a passion for working with children and families. I am a full time working mom of two active boys. I understand how complex it is to access mental health care. I can relate with patients who have been suffering with symptoms and don't know where to start looking for help, who may feel the stigma and fear that someone won't understand or see you.

I started my journey into the counseling field about 15 years ago when I realized that I had the power to make a change in my own life. The vision I had for my life seemed so far in the distance. Trauma and fear had been running the show for far too long.
I realized that to know yourself, accept yourself, and stand up for yourself are the core experiences necessary to heal from a lifetime of traumatic control.
This is the foundation of my work. Along the way, I met mentors, teachers, and friends who gave me tools to build myself up so that I can translate my own journey into a template for helping others.
