We See the Whole Person

Every individual carries layers of experience shaped by biology, family, culture, identity, and environment. We hold that complexity with care, because real, lasting change requires understanding the full human story.

"It feels good to have a safe place to talk. Sometimes I don’t know what I need to get out and Patrick knows how to get that out. I’ve been with him for several years like Coviid a big move selling our house loosing my dad and husband within two weeks period. I have been a challenging patient. I’m so thankful I’m in this program."

Michigan’s Trusted Name in Telehealth Psychiatry

Based in St. Joseph, MI, Psychiatric & Psychological Specialties was built around one conviction: expert psychiatric care should be within reach for everyone, regardless of where they live. Our team of licensed therapists brings deep clinical expertise to every patient interaction.

We’ve proudly served our communities since 1993 with diagnostic precision, evidence-based treatment, and genuine commitment to patient well-being.

OUR VALUES AND APPROACH

Care That Holds the Whole Person

At PPS, everything we do flows from a simple but profound truth: healing begins with human connection. Before any diagnosis, before any treatment plan, there is the relationship. We believe growth happens when someone feels genuinely understood and not reduced to a symptom list or a brief description, but truly met.

We Believe in a Big-Tent Model

Our team is built on diversity – of disciplines, backgrounds, theoretical frameworks, and lived experiences. Therapy, assessment, and medication management each bring something essential. When integrated, the result is care that is multidimensional and alive.

We Practice Integrity

The work we do asks for trust. We earn it through honest communication, ethical choices, responsible boundaries, and the humility to acknowledge what we know, and what we're still learning.

We Are Committed to Depth

Shortcuts offer momentary relief but rarely create lasting change. Real transformation takes time, steady effort, and a relationship built on trust. Whether in assessment or medication management, we aim for durable outcomes, not quick patches.

We Lead With Compassion

Suffering softens in the presence of empathy and understanding. To offer compassion isn't sentimental. It's a clinical skill and a human responsibility. We bring both to every patient, every session.

We Believe Authenticity Creates Safety

Healing becomes possible when patients and clinicians can speak openly and explore without fear of judgment. We create that space, intentionally and consistently.

We Are Committed to Collective Growth

No one does this work alone. Our clinicians invest in one another, share knowledge, and collaborate across roles and disciplines. The strength of our team directly strengthens the care you receive.

Why Patients Choose Psychiatric & Psychological Specialties

Telehealth psychiatry is only as good as the team behind it. Here’s what sets us apart.

THE PPS DIFFERENCE

Psychiatry Without the Commute

Board-certified psychiatric care delivered entirely online, because where you live should never determine the quality of care you receive.

Every service at Psychiatric & Psychological Specialties is delivered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.


Whether you're in St. Joseph or the Upper Peninsula, our virtual model removes the barriers that keep too many people from getting the psychiatric support they need: distance, transportation, scheduling conflicts, and the anxiety of stepping into a clinical office. World-class psychiatric care is now as close as your phone or laptop.

"Because of where we live it is very hard to find a good doctor of Psychiatry. I finally found one in Dr. M. Kachman. I believe she truly cares about her patients and is more than willing to work with me regarding my meds. I feel that I'm being listened to and heard in regards to my mental health and in this insurance driven climate we live in, this kind of care is amazing!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

You’ve Got Questions. We’ve Got Answers.

Here’s what most patients want to know before getting started with us.

How Do I Get Started?

Fill out our online intake form. It's the only step you need to take. Our team reviews every submission personally and will reach out to match you with the right psychiatric provider. We ask that all new patients start with the form rather than calling, so we can give your inquiry the attention it deserves.

What’s The Difference Between A Psychiatrist And A Therapist?

In short, psychiatrists are medical doctors (or advanced practice providers) who specialize in diagnosing mental health conditions and managing psychiatric medications. Therapists focus on talk-based treatment.

What Does The Assessment Process Look Like?

Assessment timelines vary based on the scope of evaluation needed. After your intake form is reviewed, your provider will walk you through the full process, including how many sessions are involved and when you can expect your results and clinical report.

What If I’m Unsure Whether I Need Psychiatry Or Therapy?

That's a very common question, and it's exactly why we start with an intake form. Our clinical team will review what you share and help point you in the right direction, whether that's psychiatric services here or our psychotherapy program.
