Amy Northrup, D.N.P., P.M.H.N.P.-B.C.
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I have referred several family members and friends to Michigan Behavioral Health to receive services for their mental health issues. I am extremely happy with the services I have received. I appreciate all of the help I have received and look forward to the future and the services I have yet to receive. I feel like Amy Northrup is genuinely concerned with my well being and truly wants what is best for me. I can't remember a time that I have received care or service from any other place that has been this helpful and effective. The treatment plan that Amy Northrup has put in place for me has helped me more than any other treatment plan I have ever had. I have been learning more coping skills and how to avoid negative triggers that used to be extremely hard to identify and process in a more healthy and productive manner. I understand that I have serious mental conditions that will always require me to put in the work and maintain a positive attitude towards life Regardless the setbacks.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
There is no way to speak with a physician outside of an appointment and this is a huge issue. Communication has to go through nurses - why?? We are disrespected enough at this office and shouldn't be ghosted by our physicians. Also, the 2 women at the front desk are extremely rude and unprofessional. They really shouldn't be working with the public.
