“Michelle is absolutely incredibly amazing. She is very personable. She's highly intelligent and knows what she's talking about when she refers a medication. I feel confident in her and in turn in myself. She is a great person to talk to. I know she is really listening to everything I have to say and that she truly cares. In the very beginning of knowing Michelle Knapp I was on the verge of getting kicked out of my sober living house due to a medication issue. She stood up for me and fought for my rights as her patient. I've seen a lot of doctors in my and not one has ever cared as much or done as much as Michelle has done. I get tears in my eyes written this because I feel so emotionally strong about what I have said about her. I always tell everyone about her and am so lucky to have her in my life. If my insurance for whatever reason stopped paying then I would pay out of pocket. I don't want to lose such a rare diamond ”

Getting to know Dr. Michelle Knapp
In my 20 years of working in general and addiction psychiatry, my path has been one of discovering the value of helping individuals learn how to heal themselves. As I took the time to familiarize myself with the human condition of struggle, I found it disheartening that individuals were often told what to do rather than having say in their treatment. I integrate traditional and non-traditional approaches to help clients achieve outcomes that align with their belief systems and needs.
I received a Master's in Nursing from New York University and a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Chamberlain University. I worked as a registered nurse in medicine and psychiatry for many years before pursuing my advanced practice degree in 2010. Much of my clinical training was done in NYC at Mount Sinai Hospital in the inpatient, emergency, and substance use settings. I also worked for the San Francisco VA and UCSF, helping to develop one of the first nurse practitioner residency programs in the United States. In 2017, I assumed a full-time faculty position in the NYU Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Program and later served as Director of that program.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with people from a shared decision-making model, and authenticity and non-judgment drive my practice. I don’t believe that all people need medications, but some people can certainly benefit from them.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My clients can expect to take away some tools for growth, but most importantly a feeling of non-judgment. I firmly believe that people change at different paces. I see treatment as holistic and believe that wellness encompasses the spiritual, physical, and mental realms of existence – and I believe that wellness and illness are culturally informed.
