Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Florida
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults across Duval County — no cross-town drive, no waiting room, no insurance.
Jacksonville covers roughly 750 square miles — more ground than almost any other city in the country. A psychiatrist with an opening might be forty minutes away in traffic, each direction, once a month. For a twenty-minute medication check, that is most of a working day spent on I-95.
That arithmetic is what makes telehealth worth taking seriously here rather than treating it as a lesser option. The appointment itself is nearly all conversation; what you lose by doing it from your kitchen is the commute, the parking deck and the waiting room.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Florida. First visits are a full hour for $175, follow-ups are $65, and there’s usually an opening within the week.
Florida psychiatry prices are famously hard to pin down before you’ve committed. These are the numbers, published on purpose.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Jacksonville-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 Jacksonville with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Jacksonville pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medications, and options for anxiety and sleep that aren’t habit-forming — started, adjusted, and reviewed properly rather than refilled indefinitely.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances. No stimulants, no benzodiazepines. Florida in particular has a lot of telehealth practices built around exactly that; this isn’t one of them.
If you moved to Jacksonville already on a prescription and have been getting refills from whoever would sign them, a proper reassessment is overdue. Sometimes the outcome is a taper, sometimes it’s changing nothing — but somebody should actually look.
Wherever you are in Florida — the Panhandle, the Gulf coast, the Keys, or the middle of Miami — the appointment comes to you:
