Getting to know Dr. Danika Mills

Hi, I’m Danika Mills! I partner with adults facing hard-to-treat conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD/PTSI, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and women's issues. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice, I specialize in moving traditional medication management forward by integrating advanced interventional treatments like TMS, Spravato (esketamine), and ketamine-assisted therapy. Let's find your path to genuine, lasting relief.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is collaborative, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. Drawing from my 13-year background as a neurosurgical ICU nurse, I bring a uniquely calm, thorough, and precise medical perspective to your mental health care. Because treatment is never one-size-fits-all, I weave evidence-based approaches like CBT and Motivational Interviewing into a person-centered, strength-based, and humanistic framework. Here, your unique story is respected, and you are actively involved in every clinical decision.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our process begins with a comprehensive, 1-on-1 intake assessment where we explore your history, biological factors, and lifestyle. From there, we design an integrated care plan tailored to you. Whether your path involves advanced interventional treatments (like Spravato, TMS or ketamine), tailored medication management, or supportive therapy, our sessions are an interactive, conversational space. We’ll routinely track your progress, fine-tune your care, build resilience, and restore balance.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork

More information on payments and coverage

After scheduling your appointment, you will receive an email from Stella Mental Health (formerly BeSpoke Treatment) containing your intake paperwork. Please allow about 30 minutes to complete this form. Your responses will help your provider prepare for your upcoming appointment. All patients are required to complete the intake form 24 business hours before their appointment. You will receive a phone call from a dedicated Care Advocate who can answer any questions you may have. Please be prepared to provide a credit card to keep on file for co-pays or cancellation fees. Late cancellations and no-shows will be charged the full initial appointment fee. During your initial appointment, you’ll spend 60 minutes with your provider collaborating on a treatment plan tailored to your needs. If in-person treatments are recommended—such as TMS, Spravato, SGB, or ketamine therapy—our care team will guide you through the process and ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
