Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Utah
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults in Iron County — without driving to St. George or up to Salt Lake.
Cedar City is the medical centre for a county the size of some states, and it has a handful of psychiatric prescribers to cover it. The next options are fifty minutes south in St. George or three and a half hours north on I-15. Neither is a realistic monthly commitment.
It’s also a university town, which means a steady stream of people who need a first evaluation and a steady stream of people who graduate and lose access to whoever was prescribing for them.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Utah, and I practise from this part of the state. Appointments are by video: a full hour for $175, $65 for follow-ups, usually available within the week.
These are the actual prices. Nobody local publishes theirs, which is most of the reason people never call.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Cedar City-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 Cedar City with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Cedar City pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
The value of a cash-pay telehealth practice in a town like Cedar City is continuity: follow-ups every one to three months are twenty minutes on video rather than most of a day on the freeway.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines.
Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication and non-habit-forming options for anxiety and sleep, adjusted properly and tapered deliberately where a medication has run its course.
