Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Florida
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults on the Treasure Coast — without driving south to find a specialist.
Port St. Lucie has added tens of thousands of residents in a very short time, and specialty medical capacity has not kept pace. For psychiatric care that frequently means driving south toward Palm Beach or north to the bigger systems — forty-five minutes or more each way on I-95.
The population mix makes it sharper: a large retired community managing multiple medications, alongside a wave of younger families who arrived recently and have no established provider at all.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Florida. Appointments are by video: $175 for a full first hour, $65 for follow-ups, usually available within the week.
A published flat price, cash-pay, with no insurance or Medicare billing involved.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Port St. Lucie-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 Port St. Lucie with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Port St. Lucie pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
When several medications have been added over years by different providers, the useful appointment is the one where somebody has an hour to look at the whole list rather than renew it.
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.
Where something should continue, it continues. Where it shouldn’t, we taper slowly — never abruptly, and never without a plan.
