Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Idaho
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults in the Magic Valley — on a schedule that fits shift work.
Twin Falls is the hub for a large agricultural region — dairies, food processing, distribution — where a great deal of the work happens on nights and early mornings. A practice that books only weekday afternoons is unusable for a significant part of the population it serves.
It’s also the referral centre for a wide rural catchment, from Jerome and Burley out to the smaller towns along the Snake. Local psychiatric capacity gets absorbed quickly, and the next real option is hours away.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Idaho. Video appointments with early, late and weekend slots: $175 for a full hour, $65 for follow-ups.
Cash-pay, published, charged after the visit rather than at booking.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical Twin Falls-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 Twin Falls with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your Twin Falls pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
If your sleep is wrecked by a rotating schedule rather than by an illness, that deserves naming before another prescription is added on top of it. Sometimes the medication isn’t the missing piece.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances — no stimulants, no benzodiazepines. It’s a fixed policy, and better read here than discovered in your appointment.
Where medication is right, it’s antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication, and non-habit-forming options for anxiety and sleep — followed properly over time.
