Relief Mental Health Expands Its Psychiatric Services

Relief Mental Health recently made a significant addition to its West Allis location by appointing Michael Henderson, MSN, APNP, PMHNP-BC, as a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. This strategic move aims to broaden access to high-quality, trauma-informed psychiatric care for residents in the Milwaukee area.

Michael Henderson specializes in managing medications and administering SPRAVATO® (esketamine) for individuals dealing with conditions like depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). With extensive experience, particularly in trauma-related conditions such as PTSD and complex trauma, Henderson brings a wealth of knowledge that he cultivated during his years at the VA Medical Center in Milwaukee.

His methodology revolves around a trauma-informed, patient-centered approach that prioritizes safety, stability, and trust-building between patient and provider. This care exhibits a strong commitment to integrating evidence-based interventions with thorough diagnostic assessments, which are crucial for ensuring long-term recovery and improved patient outcomes. Henderson is especially aware of the pressing need for timely interventions, aiming to expedite access to care when patients require it most.

Relief Mental Health, which operates clinics in both West Allis and Middleton near Madison, is dedicated to making advanced psychiatric services available across Wisconsin. At Relief, each patient receives a personalized medication management plan that focuses not only on alleviating symptoms but also on enhancing their overall quality of life.

Collaboration is key at Relief, and Henderson works closely with an interdisciplinary team to ensure that patients receive comprehensive care, which includes referrals to other services provided by Relief, like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) when necessary. This ensures that each patient’s treatment aligns with their specific needs and enhances their overall care experience.

For those suffering from treatment-resistant depression, Henderson offers SPRAVATO® (esketamine), an innovative FDA-approved nasal spray that operates differently than traditional antidepressants. This unique treatment targets glutamate pathways in the brain and is designed to provide rapid relief for patients who do not respond to standard treatments, bringing a fresh perspective of hope and progress in their recovery journey.

Before joining Relief, Henderson honed his skills by caring for veterans at the VA Medical Center, developing tailored treatment plans and managing intricate medication protocols. His dedication to delivering evidence-based care highlights his commitment to serving those who are most in need of mental health services.

Currently, Henderson is accepting new patients with immediate appointment availability. For those looking to schedule a consultation, they can either call 855.205.4764 or visit the Relief Mental Health website at reliefmh.com.
