Meet Our Psychiatric Provider
Hi, I’m Michele Barnett, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in children and teens. As a mother, I know how hard it can be to watch your child struggle and not know what to do next. My goal is to listen carefully, explain options clearly, and partner with you in each step of care. At Way Maker Behavioral Health, I offer evidence-based medication management grounded in Christian values, always respecting your family’s beliefs and comfort level.
Specialized Care Your Child Deserves
Navigating your child's mental health journey can feel overwhelming, but you aren't walking this path alone. In Anderson, South Carolina, our board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNP-BC) provide the deep, specialized expertise your family needs for complex emotional and behavioral health care.
- Specialized Expertise: Unlike a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) who handles broad medicine, a PMHNP-BC's entire clinical focus is psychiatric assessment and diagnosis.
- Focused Training: Our training is built specifically for managing child and adolescent mental health within a compassionate, faith-sensitive framework.
- Medication Management: We offer deep knowledge in psychiatric medications, ensuring your child receives a plan that is carefully tailored to their growing mind.
- Comprehensive Assessment: For complex mental health needs, a PMHNP-BC provides the specialized focus necessary for identifying root causes and building sustainable paths to healing.
