Services

Secure video consultations with your provider, from home or anywhere private. This is not a lesser version of an office visit. For most follow-up work and for a good number of first appointments it does the same job with far less friction.

• A secure link sent before the appointment, no account to create
• You need a private space, a device with a camera and a connection
• Available to patients located in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts and Rhode Island at the time of the visit
• Some situations are better in person, and you will be told plainly if yours is

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Evans can prescribe and manage psychiatric medication. That covers starting something new and reviewing something another prescriber started years ago.

• Evaluation and prescription, with a clear explanation of what to expect
• Adjusting a dose that is not doing enough, or is doing too much
• Reviewing and simplifying a list that has grown over time
• Monitoring side effects, interactions and how you are tolerating it

Talking work using evidence based approaches, tailored to your situation. Medication can lift the floor, but it does not by itself teach you what to do differently. That is what this part is for.

• Understanding what is driving the pattern you keep hitting
• Practical ways of handling anxiety, low mood, anger or stress
• Trauma informed throughout, and LGBTQ+ affirming
• Offered alongside medication or on its own

Testing that looks at how your body is likely to process certain psychiatric medications. It can narrow the field when previous medications have not suited you, or have caused difficult side effects.

• Offered where it is likely to be genuinely useful, not routinely
• Discussed with you first, including what it can and cannot tell you
• Informs the decision. It does not make the decision

Shorter, regular appointments that keep the plan matched to where you actually are. Most of the value of psychiatric care sits here rather than in the first visit.

• Checking what has improved and what has not moved at all
• Adjusting the plan rather than repeating it
• Watching for side effects and changes in physical health
• Planning ahead for how and when treatment might be stepped down
