Chandelle Shannon, Physician Assistant, M.M.S

“I am so excited to be working with MI Psychiatry. I have a deep desire to care for my patients, particularly those who feel disconnected, confused, hurt, and are searching for professional help. I am excited to walk alongside my patients in each of their individual journeys. All that being said, outside of work I am an active person. I enjoy the outdoors and any and all types of sports including disc golf, racquetball, basketball, volleyball, and golf. I also am actively involved at my church. Some things that light up my days are my dog Rocket, all kinds of plants and wildlife, and any type of coffee drink. It’s the little things in life.”

“I am happy to be a part of the MI Psychiatry team where I can assist my patients in discovering their potential and explore ways that will lead to a healthy and happy lifestyle. Being human allows us to experience life in all of its colors. Everyone is different and has unique gifts to offer, and I am fortunate to be in a position where I can help people realize and carry out those gifts.”

Dara Miller PMHNP, BC, Nurse Practitioner

“I am looking forward to being a part of the MI Psychiatry office where I aspire to help my patients achieve their life goals and dreams. I have 10 years of experience working in behavioral health and strongly believe that our mental well-being is just as important to address as our physical health. I am excited to provide my comprehensive, therapeutic support to those seeking my professional services in a collaborative approach that best meets my patients’ needs. I am a lifelong learner with a passion for psychiatry and I aim to actualize my patients’ full potential through the advances continuously made in behavioral medicine.”

Tara Apostolovski, MS, PA-C

  • Board Certified: National Commission of Certified Physician Assistants (NCCPA), Michigan Board of Physician Assistants
  • Master of Science: Physician Assistant Studies, Wayne State University
  • Bachelor of Science: Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences, Oakland University

“As a physician assistant, my role focuses on evaluating symptoms, providing accurate diagnoses, and creating tailored medication management plans to support each patient’s mental health needs. I am thrilled to be part of the MI Psychiatry team, where I am committed to guiding patients with compassion on their mental health journeys, empowering them to develop insight, awareness, and self-understanding. My previous work experience includes a background in endocrinology, which has deepened my understanding of the intersection between hormonal and mental health. Additionally, I mentored high school students in the Upward Bound program, where I helped foster confidence, goal-setting skills, and pathways to success. I believe that promoting mental health is a universal goal, as it profoundly impacts both physical well-being and overall quality of life.”
