About me: Hello, I'm Michelle Thomas, a dedicated Nurse Practitioner with expertise in both Family and Psychiatric Mental Health care. I've spent over six years honing my skills in emergency rooms and psychiatric units, providing me with a strong foundation to support families and individuals in crisis or needing continued care. At Revitalize Mental Health & Integrative Medicine and Mental Health Wellness LLC, I provide comprehensive psychiatric assessments and personalized medication management. My telehealth practice with Sesame Care allows me to reach patients with ADHD, depression, or insomnia wherever they are. My approach is holistic, focusing on education and individualized treatment plans. I'm board-certified across multiple states, with a Master’s in Nursing from Liberty University and extensive training in functional and integrative medicine. My practice includes innovative treatments like IV Ketamine and TMS. I am passionate about empowering patients and ensuring the whole person is addressed in every plan of care. Let me help you on your journey to better health and wellness. Treatment philosophy: I believe in an integrative approach to healthcare. Each patient is unique and deserves personalized care. My goal is to treat the whole person—mind and body. I focus on listening to my patients, understanding their needs, and educating them about their treatment options. I specialize in mental health, integrative medicine, and family care, using methods like psychotherapy, medication management, and IV therapies. Collaboration is key; together, we create effective treatment plans. I aim to empower my patients with knowledge, helping them take an active role in their healing journey. Compassion and respect guide my practice, ensuring a supportive environment for all.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner fostering care across the life span fully licensed in Colorado, Florida, California, and Oregon. I provide initial evaluation and ongoing management of psychiatric medications, supportive counseling, health education, ketamine evaluations, and ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I believe in treating the whole mind, body, and spirit. I feel that it is vital to provide support structuring lives in a manageable way that allows treating the root cause of underlying symptoms-working together developing a treatment plan that we are both comfortable with. I believe strong relationships are the key to a successful healing process. I want to truly get to know you so I may provide optimal health care. This is why my appointments are longer than those typically offered by other mental health providers. In my first year at Maryville University, I developed a deep interest in psychedelic medicine and its healing powers. I continued my training within the ketamine space after school until I was able to incorporate it into my practice in an effort to heal deep-seeded traumatic wounds of others. It is my hope that I can continue to help many others heal in a similar fashion in order to live joyful lives to their fullest potential whether that it through ketamine or psychiatric medications.
