Michael J. Thompson, DMS, PA-C, is a doctoral-prepared physician assistant with more than a decade of clinical experience spanning internal medicine, addiction medicine, correctional health, and behavioral care. That breadth of practice gave him a front-row seat to how physical health, environment, and mental health are inseparably linked, an insight that now shapes everything he does at Spruce Creek Integrative.

At Spruce Creek, Mike practices integrative psychiatry: thoughtful, evidence-based medication management combined with a genuine commitment to the lifestyle and biological factors that drive mental health. Rather than treating a prescription as the endpoint of care, he takes the time to explore how sleep quality, nutrition, movement, chronic stress, and social connection shape mood, cognition, and long-term resilience. This often means looking beyond symptom checklists to ask what's happening in a patient's gut, hormones, inflammation levels, and daily habits, because psychiatric symptoms rarely exist in isolation from the rest of the body.

His clinical approach is grounded in current neuroscience and ongoing training in root-cause, biologically informed psychiatric care, including pharmacogenomics and nutritional psychiatry. But the science is always in service of the person in front of him. Mike believes every patient deserves to be seen as a whole individual, with a unique history, physiology, and set of circumstances, not reduced to a diagnosis or a med list.

Patients working with Mike can expect a collaborative, unhurried process: real conversations about what's driving their symptoms, medication decisions made thoughtfully and reassessed over time, and practical guidance on the lifestyle changes that support lasting mental wellness. Whether someone is managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or the lingering effects of past substance use, his goal is the same to help them understand their own biology and reclaim a sense of agency over their health.
