Hey there! My name is Melanie Walker.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and licensed Natural Medicine Clinical Facilitator in training, offering an integrative, compassionate, and trauma-informed approach to care. My practice focuses on comprehensive medical and psychiatric evaluations for individuals considering ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) and psilocybin-assisted therapy (PAT), helping assess whether these treatments are appropriate and safe.

Evaluations include a thoughtful review of mental health history, medications, medical conditions, and relevant safety considerations. For KAP, I collaborate with therapists and provide ketamine prescribing when clinically appropriate. For PAT, I collaborate with your therapist and natural medicine facilitator as part of the evaluation and preparation process. For individuals who choose to work with me as their facilitator, I also offer preparation, facilitation, and integration services through a licensed healing center.

My approach is grounded in safety, consent, collaboration, and respect for each person’s lived experience. I recognize how trauma, identity, culture, and systemic inequities can shape health and healing, and strive to meet each individual with humility, curiosity, and compassion.

I believe thoughtful psychiatric care honors both clinical evidence and each individual’s unique experience. My aim is to provide clear, personalized guidance so you can make informed decisions about your care.
