Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Utah
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults in Utah Valley — medication management without a months-long wait.
Utah County has grown into one of the largest metropolitan areas in the state without a matching number of psychiatric prescribers. The result is the same story people tell in Orem, Provo, Lindon and Pleasant Grove: the office is nice, the staff are kind, and the next new-patient opening is in three months.
Meanwhile Utah has one of the highest antidepressant prescribing rates in the country, much of it started in primary care and never revisited. Plenty of people in Orem are on something that was right for them in 2019 and hasn’t been examined since.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Utah. Cash-pay, by video, $175 for a full hour, and usually an opening this week.
Here are the numbers, published, which is more than most practices in the valley will do before you call.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Orem-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 Orem with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Orem pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
A large share of my appointments are not about starting anything. They’re about looking properly at a list that accumulated over several years and asking which parts are still earning their place.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines — and that applies to every patient without exception.
Where a medication is worth continuing, we continue it. Where it isn’t, tapering is done deliberately and slowly. Nothing gets stopped abruptly.
