Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Idaho
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults in southeastern Idaho — medication management without the wait.
Pocatello serves southeastern Idaho far beyond its own population — Chubbuck, American Falls, Preston, Soda Springs, Malad and the rural country between them. A handful of psychiatric prescribers cannot absorb that catchment, and the waiting reflects it.
Idaho State University adds a second layer: a large young population needing first evaluations, served by campus resources that are stretched and that end when enrolment does.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Idaho. Appointments are by video — a full hour for $175, $65 for follow-ups, usually available within the week.
Published pricing, cash-pay, no insurance billed at any point.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Pocatello-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 Pocatello with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Pocatello pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
If this is your first psychiatric appointment, expect a real conversation about what to expect: side effects usually arrive before benefit, and most people who quit do so in week two, before anything had a chance to work.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines. It’s a fixed policy, and better read here than discovered in your appointment.
If you’ve been on something for years without review, that reassessment is what the hour is for — and sometimes the honest conclusion is to leave it exactly as it is.
