About
I help patients understand their symptoms and develop practical strategies for everyday challenges through a compassionate, clinically informed approach, with a special focus on supporting emotional development, behavioral concerns, and academic functioning in children and adolescents while integrating cognitive behavioral therapy to build resilience and long-term wellness.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 25 years of experience providing compassionate and comprehensive psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, and behavioral challenges. I value a holistic, collaborative approach that helps clients feel supported, understood, and empowered throughout their healing journey.
I earned my Master of Science in nursing from South College and have extensive experience delivering personalized, evidence-based psychiatric care. My approach integrates medication management, psychotherapy, and patient education to promote clarity, stability, and long-term wellness.
I am committed to helping you achieve emotional balance, strengthen coping skills, and improve your overall quality of life. My inclusive and culturally aware approach ensures that you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Together, we will work toward meaningful progress and lasting well-being.

As a Black and Latina woman who grew up with a military parent and an immigrant parent, I understand the unique challenges of identity exploration and adapting to multiple cultures.
Hi! My name is Michelle Flood and I am a multicredentialed, multi-degreed, and multi-disciplined mental health professional with 25 years in the healthcare field. I have a Bachelor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Studies from Miami University, a Master of Science in Art Therapy from Florida State University, and a Master of Business and Administration from Savannah State University. Although I have worked with clients of all ages, my specialty ages that I serve are the children/adolescent and geriatric populations. These populations often struggle expressing their feelings and it is my pleasure to assist!
As a therapist who has also been a client, I know the thought of trying therapy can be anxiety-provoking and stress-inducing, especially for my aforementioned specialty populations. Because of that, I specialize in making my clients feel comfortable with the therapy process so it feels like a safe space to express themselves without judgment.
Life can be so tough sometimes, making it difficult for us to engage in self-care. However, it can be so much easier to manage with a therapist's help. Being a therapy client myself has helped me so much throughout my life and I enjoy paying it forward. I would love the opportunity to work with you and assist with your self-care journey!

Yes, there are therapists who help with anger via Anger management therapy. It’s a therapeutic process that an individual goes through to manage their anger and identify its triggers. They’re given clear instructions on how to improve their angry behavior as well as a safe space for opening up about their emotions.
Once an individual’s triggers are identified, anger management therapy focuses on helping the individual process and respond to these emotions in a more positive and productive manner. The anger management therapist will provide coping strategies and ultimately help their client take back control of their anger.
The five keys to mastering anger include identifying triggers, pausing before reacting, calmly expressing emotions, discovering constructive outlets for frustration, and seeking professional assistance if necessary. Acquiring these skills through Anger management therapy empowers individuals to effectively manage and navigate their anger.
The best therapy for anger management often involves cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps individuals identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior related to anger.
Anger management therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Often, Anger management therapy lasts between 4-6 weeks. However, it can last longer, dependent on the individual’s needs.
