Hi, I’m Makenzie Bickers, PMHNP-BC

I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner offering thoughtful medication management with a calm, practical, non-judgmental approach. I treat the person, not the diagnosis, because not one size fits all.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.More about me →

Sound familiar?

Generalized anxiety

Your brain runs worst-case scenarios like it’s binge-watching a true-crime series, and every episode stars you. Let’s change the channel.

PTSD

When your nervous system is stuck on a 2020 lockdown loop, it’s time to update the software.

Bipolar (mania/depression)

Going from ‘I’m starting three businesses’ to ‘I can’t answer one text’? Let’s find the setting between ‘CEO mode’ and ‘airplane mode.’

Schizophrenia

When the main character energy starts coming with a plot you didn’t write, I’m a safe person to talk to. No judgment, just a game plan.

Depression

If ‘bed rotting’ went from self-care to your whole personality, let’s get you a softer launch back into life.

Personality disorder

Your relationships feel like a season finale every single week, and you deserve a calmer plotline.

OCD

Checking the stove is fine. Checking it like it’s your full-time job? Time to act your wage and delegate.

ADHD (adults)

You have brilliant ideas in the shower and none of them by your 2 p.m. deadline.

ADHD (moms)

2020 vision, but if it gets too loud, I lose the gift of sight. Turn down that radio and let me see.

ADHD (kids at school)

Tells you every fact about Minecraft but ‘forgot’ there was homework? That brain is brilliant. Let’s help it focus where it counts.

Anxiety (kids)

Stomachache every school morning but totally fine by Saturday? Little worriers get big support here.

Depression (kids)

When your kid’s battery is stuck at 2% and not even Roblox sounds fun, let’s help them recharge.

Delusional disorder

When your brain’s conspiracy-theory podcast won’t stop auto-playing, you deserve someone who listens without judging.

If you can't name what you're feeling, but you know for a fact that if you turn down the volume you can see better, give me a call.
