Getting to know Michael Christensen
Are you struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, burnout, or difficulty functioning at your best? Michael Christensen, PA-C, provides personalized psychiatric care focused on helping patients improve focus, mood, sleep, motivation, and overall quality of life.
Michael works with adolescents and adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, and related concerns. Michael also has experience treating addiction and providing medication assisted treatment (MAT/MOUD). Treatment plans are individualized and may include medication management, education, and ongoing support tailored to each patient's goals.
Before joining Transform with Roman Psychiatry, Michael spent several years practicing in primary care, where he developed a holistic approach to patient care. He believes in treating the whole person rather than simply managing symptoms. Virtual appointments are available, and same-week appointments are often offered for new patients.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal is to create a comfortable, collaborative environment where patients feel heard and understood. I take time to learn about each person's unique challenges, strengths, and goals so that we can develop a treatment plan that is both effective and realistic. Many of my patients appreciate my practical, down-to-earth approach and focus on long-term improvement rather than quick fixes.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first appointment focuses on understanding above all else, who you are. We will review your symptoms, treatment history, medical background, and goals for treatment. Together we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include medication management, ADHD evaluation, lifestyle recommendations, and ongoing follow-up care. After scheduling, our team will provide onboarding instructions and any required forms before your appointment.

Dr. Michael took the time to listen, which has been very hard for me to find with prior medical professionals. He met me where I was comfortable with medication and goal wise. This will definitely help me with my medical goals. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Doc!

He was extremely courteous and very professional,
Within 1 hour I was able to share more of my story with him in a clear and concise way than I've ever really been able to do with any other mental health professional. He asked the right questions to get to the heart of things!

Mike is seriously the best!! I’ve seen many different medical providers in this specific field and Mike is by far the most knowledgeable, compassionate and truly caring provider in the recovery field. He is the reason I won’t go to any other place, even though there are many different options much closer to me. I can say he is truly invested in the wellbeing of his patients and is always willing and even encouraging his patients to take as much time as needed during appointments. I have never felt rushed or unheard by him. And in this specific field, that is a very crucial quality. If anyone you know is in need of help reclaiming their life and overcoming the addiction beast- Michael and Alpine center is top notch

The bottom line....I have been on mental health medication for 31 years. The last 4 years have been the most stable my life has been and felt taking medication.
"A diamond in the rough"
He had been my provider for almost 5 years now. He works cohesively with my other providers to ensure the medications are and continue to help my mental state. He has gone to bat for me and stood behind me in situations that have risen concerning my medications. I am lucky to have him as my provider.

There are so many wonderful things I could say about Michael. I will start by saying how willing he is to work with a patient. There have been times where, I was finding it difficult to stay within the boundaries of my program. When this happen, there was never any judgment. Only a way to get me back on track, with kindness and understanding from both Michael and his staff. I am very lucking to have him in my corner.

I had a very frustrating experience with Mike.
During the appointment, I explained what my therapist recommended. I was clear that I cannot tolerate jittery meds due to PTSD. Despite this, Mike pushed Concerta leaving out the meds delivery system.
After taking it, I experienced exactly that. When I followed up, my experience was ignored.
After I stated that I would not continue the medication, Mike continued to PUSH me to stay on it. The conversation repeatedly redirected back to continuing.
I was also told many times that a new script would be sent to the pharmacy, but it wasn’t. I was then told I couldn’t change medications for 14 days, which was inaccurate. Then I was told to pay more if I wanted to continue trials.
Communication throughout this process was difficult. My concerns were ignored, which felt like medical gaslighting.
Overall, this felt like a non-collaborative experience where my boundaries were not respected. I lost both time and money dealing with Mike.

Mike Christensen, PA-C, has been outstanding to work with. From the very first appointment he took the time to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and really understand both my medical history and the challenges I’m dealing with. His approach is calm, professional, and highly knowledgeable, and he explains things in a way that is clear and practical. It’s obvious that he genuinely cares about his patients and takes his responsibility seriously.
What stands out most is his balanced approach to treatment. He is thoughtful about medication management, attentive to details, and focused on creating a plan that actually works for the individual patient. I never feel rushed during appointments, and I always leave feeling like my concerns were heard and addressed. If you’re looking for a psychiatrist who is compassionate, attentive, and truly committed to helping people improve their mental health, I would strongly recommend Mike Christensen.
