Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Florida
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults in Lee County — without the bridge to Fort Myers for every appointment.
Cape Coral is one of the largest cities in Florida by land area and one of the most residential. Nearly all of the region’s specialty medicine sits across the river in Fort Myers, so a psychiatric appointment usually means a bridge, traffic and most of a morning.
In season, that traffic roughly doubles. A twenty-minute follow-up that costs two hours in the car is a follow-up that eventually stops happening — and follow-up is where psychiatric medication actually gets right.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Florida. Video appointments: $175 for a full hour, $65 for follow-ups, usually available within the week.
Flat published pricing, cash-pay, charged after the appointment.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Cape Coral-area private psychiatrist, first visit, out of pocket | $250–$500 |
| Typical follow-up, out of pocket | $100–$250 |
Payment is collected after your appointment, not when you book. A valid card is kept securely on file and charged once the visit is complete. No insurance is billed, so there is no deductible to meet and no surprise bill weeks later.
Pick a time that works. No referral, no waitlist, no phone tag — most new patients are seen within a week.
A full 60 minutes with Tyler, from anywhere in Cape Coral with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Cape Coral pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
Twenty-minute follow-ups by video every one to three months are something people keep, which is the entire point — a medication plan only works if somebody is still watching it in month six.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines. Florida has a great many telehealth practices built around exactly that; this isn’t one of them.
Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication and non-habit-forming options for anxiety and sleep, with real attention to what could come off.
