Business Spotlight: The Brain Bliss
Last Updated 4/4/2025
The Brain Bliss is a psychiatry office specializing in comprehensive psychiatric care with a focus in medication management, owned by Billie Foley. Billie is a graduate of Spring Arbor University with a Master’s Degree in Nursing, specializing in Psychiatric-Mental Health. She is board-certified by the ANCC and continually updates her knowledge and skills through ongoing education in mental health care.
The Brain Bliss opened its doors in August 2024, welcoming all brand-new patients as a startup psychiatric practice. Since then, we have experienced steady growth, now providing care for nearly 200 patients who trust us with their mental health needs. As we continue to grow, we are excited about the future and look forward to expanding our services, welcoming new providers, and increasing access to high-quality mental health care for even more individuals in our community.
After years of working as a registered nurse, I found myself at a crossroads - I loved my work but felt unfulfilled and knew I had more to offer. Transitioning to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner allowed me to blend my professional expertise with my personal experiences with mental health. I founded The Brain Bliss to create a compassionate, patient-centered practice that makes a real difference in people's lives.
We provide care for a broad range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to:
- Depression
- Anxiety disorders
- Bipolar disorder
- Schizophrenia
- ADHD
- Substance use disorder
- Other mood and psychiatric conditions
Our goal is to provide effective, evidence-based medication management to help individuals achieve and maintain mental wellness.
I chose Old Town for The Brain Bliss because of its vibrant community and the personal connections that helped bring my vision to life. My friend and mentor, Angie Stathopoulos, owner of G.L.A.M. (Greater Lansing Aesthetic Medicine), played a key role in inspiring and encouraging me to take this step. Through Angie, I connected with Matthew Ryan, who generously offered me space in his building—providing the perfect opportunity to establish my practice in a neighborhood known for its warmth, creativity, and strong sense of community.
For me, success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about the transformations I witness in my patients. It’s about building trusting relationships and providing care that leads to meaningful, lasting improvements in mental wellness. Every time a patient finds hope, relief, or healing, I know I have succeeded.
