About Nicholas T Abbey
About the Provider
As a psychiatrist, I am focused on helping my patients improve their mental and physical health. I have a fairly broad range of clinical interests, but I’m especially passionate about women’s mental health, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders.
My approach to care is evidence-based, with an emphasis on using medication-free therapies whenever possible. I work closely with my patients to find the best way forward for their circumstances and goals. When I’m asked, “Will this get better?” I like to respond with, while complete resolution of symptoms may not always possible, significant improvement is achievable.
I love seeing my patients make progress and get better. It is extremely satisfying to play a small role in a much broader effort to keep people healthy.

Since this was the first time that I met him, I really need more time to make any judgements.

Dr Abbey treats my mental health care wholeheartedly. He communicates thoroughly and makes changes as needed in medication management and helps me find the resources for therapy. He makes every appointment a great personal experience. Dr abbey is extremely professional in his care for me. Thank you so much for your great impact in my life.

This is the first person in the psych field that left me looking forward to the next appointment. I felt like I got the emergent answers about medication, which was a big part of why I had a consult with psych to begin with. He is efficient, which I appreciate to no end. Finding someone I click with immediately in an effectively blind consult (I wasn't familiar with any doctors on staff in that department, so I had no idea what to expect) is like being told unicorns exist - it's just something that hasn't been a real thing (the instant connection and my level of comfort with Dr. Abbey) in my past experiences. I have a feeling there might finally be some answers to questions I've had for decades.

Appreciate realness and application of understanding and delivery of information, very little fluff and direct openness in plan of care, I am grateful to have found and be working with Dr. abbey

I have gone through a lot of psychiatrists there due to high turnover. Dr. Abbey is by far the best. I feel like he really invests himself and genuinely cares about my well-being.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/10/2025
He's very patient with me.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/9/2025
Very attentive and understanding. He's clear and concise. Answers every question without hesitation. The few questions I had that he didn't know the answer to, he told me he would get an answer because he wasn't going to guess. Perfect answer.

Dr Abbey was put on this earth to do exactly what he’s doing. Helping people in desperate need. He is so pleasant to talk to through the ups and downs. When I come in with anxiety he is patient with me and listening to me. He never cuts me off when Im speaking… even when I may ramble with intrusive thoughts about life’s challenges. If you can picture all the hopes in finding a new doctor he meets every expectation and honesty exceeds those expectations. Corewell Health is so fortunate to have him on their staff.

great

Dr. Abbey is a great Dr. and I trust his opinion. He is not a real personable person, just very professional. That’s a good thing, but could be not so serious all the time
