Meet Kimberly Milaney
A caring and empathetic psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in depression, anxiety and trauma coming from a place of understanding and compassion.
Hello! I'm Kimberly Milaney, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC, APRN, MSN, RN) based in West Hartford, CT. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in providing compassionate mental health care for individuals of all ages.
I completed my Master's and Post-Master's education at the University of St. Joseph and UConn, where I honed my skills in diagnosing and managing various mental health conditions. Over the years, I've worked in diverse settings including telehealth, outpatient care, and assisted living facilities.
My approach involves close collaboration with other healthcare providers and thorough family education to ensure comprehensive care. I believe in a holistic approach, considering not just mental health but also lifestyle and nutritional counseling as part of the treatment.
Whether you need support with medication management or a thorough psychiatric evaluation, I'm here to help. Together, we can navigate the journey toward better mental health. Feel free to reach out to me at Thrive Behavioral Health or contact me directly at thrivebehavioralhealth.ct@gmail.com. Your mental well-being is my priority.

My philosophy
I approach treatment with compassion and empathy. In your first session we will explore what brought you to treatment, obtain a comprehensive history and then together, we will decide the best medication and ways to help improve your symptoms and ability to function. During treatment we will review how medication is helping and focus on maximizing your quality of life to make you a better you. Mental health treatment is a journey and there is no shame in seeking help. Mental health is as important as physical health. I want to help improve your quality of life and function by setting you on a path of hope and wellness, in order to see the light at the end of your road. This is my goal as a mental health provider.
