Hi! My name is Michael Barnes. I am a nurse practitioner who is board certified in psychiatry and am passionate about helping clients with their mental health needs. I have experience treating a broad range of mental health conditions since 2016. I am a retired Army Veteran with a special passion for helping those suffering from trauma and addiction. My approach to mental health is working with the client as a team incorporating a holistic approach to identify and treat the client's mental health needs.

I am writing to introduce the mental health services provided by Dr. Malar Kuppan, DNP, at Psych MD Practice. Dr. Kuppan provides compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. Her approach emphasizes patient-inclusive decision-making, with family involvement for children and adolescents. She uses active listening and thoughtful dialogue for personalized treatment plans.

Dr. Kuppan aims to foster resilience, understanding, and lasting mental wellness for all patients.

I am passionate about fighting the stigma of mental health and assisting others as they access their own potential for growth and change. My practice is grounded in a comprehensive patient-centered philosophy that incorporates evidence-based treatment options. My clinical expertise and extensive experience in diagnosing and management of a wide range of mental health conditions helps me to formulate individualized treatment plans that help patients achieve optimal mental well-being. At the heart of my practice is the patient. I strive to cultivate a compassionate, therapeutic, and safe environment for my clients which allows them to feel empowered, identify personal goals, and make informed decisions related to their specific needs.
