Getting to know Dr. Michelle Edwards
Dr. Michelle Edwards is an ABPN board-certified psychiatrist specializing in general adult psychiatry, providing outpatient psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and brief psychotherapy. She completed her psychiatry residency at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center, affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical College, and pursued subspecialty training through a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at Mount Sinai Elmhurst. She also completed continuing medical education in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation at Duke University School of Medicine and earned her medical degree from St. George's University. She received her bachelor’s degree from University of South Florida Honors College and conducted undergraduate research in cellular biology, biophysics, and proteomics.
Dr. Edwards values open communication and takes a holistic approach to mental health care. She works collaboratively with patients to identify where medication and therapy can support meaningful progress in areas such as self-care, security, social connection, service, community, and personal enrichment. She is best suited for patients who are committed to achieving or maintaining sobriety from substances such as nicotine, tobacco, alcohol, THC/cannabis, and other recreational drugs during treatment.
Dr. Edwards begins with a thorough evaluation of current concerns, symptoms, life experiences, lifestyle factors, developmental history, family background (when known), and medical and psychiatric history to guide diagnosis and treatment planning. She encourages patients with prior medication trials to bring a list of medications, dosages, treatment duration, benefits, and side effects. Some areas may be explored further in follow-up visits as treatment progresses.
