About Michael M
Hello! I'm Dr. Michael M. Zavala, a Texas & New Mexico based Family & Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner focused on holistic and integrative psychiatry.

I help adults, high-achieving professionals, and entrepreneurs experiencing obesity, anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and burnout/moral injury rediscover their sense of excitement and engagement with work, loved ones, and life by offering a specialized approach for those motivated to uncover the root cause of their symptoms, improving behavioral health through lifestyle modification, psychotherapy, and integrative psychiatry, with medication as an option, NOT the only option. My approach harmonizes modern medicine with holistic strategies, fostering a balanced mind, body, and spirit.

I'm here to guide you through the healthcare process with warmth, respect, and professionalism, ensuring you feel heard and valued every step of the way. Let's work together towards better health and well-being!
