Getting to know Michael Hawthorne
I'm Michael Hawthorne, a dedicated and compassionate Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in mental health care. I hold a Master's in Adult Gerontology Nursing from South University, Savannah, and a Post-Master's Certificate in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Regis College. My mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, integrating evidence-based therapeutic techniques with medication management when appropriate. My practice is centered around building strong, trusting relationships with my clients, and I strive to empower them to take an active role in their own mental health journey.
Throughout my career, I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, and trauma. My goal is to help each client develop coping strategies, achieve emotional balance, and enhance their overall well-being. I am committed to continuous learning and staying current with the latest advancements in psychiatric care. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, I prioritize creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment for my clients. I approach mental health holistically, combining evidence-based therapeutic techniques with medication management when needed. Building strong and trusting relationships is at the core of my practice, which is why clients can expect compassion, dedication, and personalized care when working with me. My extensive experience in mental health care further reinforces my commitment to helping individuals explore and navigate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences with confidence.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my typical process for working with clients involves several key steps:
Initial Assessment: This includes a comprehensive evaluation of the client's mental health history, current symptoms, medical history, and any relevant social or environmental factors. This step helps in understanding the client's unique needs.
Diagnosis: Based on the assessment, a diagnosis is made to identify the mental health condition(s) the client may be experiencing.
Treatment Planning: The client and I collaborate to develop a treatment plan. This plan may include therapy, medication management, lifestyle changes, and other interventions tailored to the client's goals and preferences.

In the website it says my insurance is accepted but they texted me that they don’t accept my insurance it’s my second with Dr and something is fishy about them
Oh another thing he put on hold and never responded me back and texted me later saying sorry we were disconnected ??
It’s not true they owe me explanation

Excellent session Im very pleased.
June 10, 2024David B.Verified patient
The provider had poor bedside manner and communication skills. He was apathetic and lack of engagement with the issue at hand. His intention was not listen to the patient but to prescribe medication and undermine the patients capacity to change the behavior.
