Hi, I'm Makenzie!

Makenzie Bickers, PMHNP-BC

I'm a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, and honestly? I think great mental health care comes down to a few simple things: understanding the patient, treating the patient (not the diagnosis), and having enough time to really get to know you, because not one size fits all. That's the whole reason Clinically Casual Psychiatry exists.

I'm certified to treat patients across the lifespan, ages 4 to 104, and I especially love working with people navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, binge eating and restrictive eating disorders, sleep struggles, and plenty more. When it comes to medications, I like to start low, go slow, and tweak until things feel right for you. Complicated brains deserve carefully calibrated care.

Come see me in Leawood, or hop on a telehealth visit from your couch. Sweatpants are 100% encouraged. I'm so excited to get back to the people I love working with, and I can't wait to meet you!
