Tyler Patten, APRN, PMHNP-BC — board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, licensed in Utah
Cash-pay telehealth psychiatry for adults on the west side — medication management without the drive, the waiting room, or the deductible.
West Valley City has more people than Provo or St. George and almost none of the state’s psychiatric offices within its own boundaries. In practice, getting care means a drive to Salt Lake or Murray in the middle of a workday, plus parking, for an appointment that is almost entirely conversation.
Cost is the other half of it. In a city where a lot of people work hourly and carry a high-deductible plan, “I have insurance” and “I can afford this appointment” are two different sentences. Before a deductible is met, an in-network psychiatric evaluation still routinely runs $250 to $500 out of pocket.
I’m Tyler Patten, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in Utah. This practice is cash-pay and telehealth only: $175 for a full hour, $65 for follow-ups, and no drive up 3500 South.
One flat price, published, with no insurance in the middle to make it complicated.
| Visit | Price |
|---|---|
| New patient evaluation — 60 minutes with Tyler | $175 |
| Follow-up visit — 20 minutes | $65 |
| Typical West Valley City-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 West Valley City with a private space and a connection. Click a link; nothing to install.
Prescriptions go electronically to your West Valley City pharmacy the same day. Follow-ups are $65 and always with the same provider.
Antidepressants, mood stabilizers, non-stimulant ADHD medication, and non-habit-forming options for anxiety and sleep — started, adjusted, and honestly reassessed rather than refilled on autopilot.
I don’t prescribe controlled substances: no stimulants, no benzodiazepines. That’s a fixed policy, and it’s better read here than discovered in your first appointment.
If your medication was started years ago by a primary care provider who has since moved on, and nobody has looked at it since, that review is exactly what a 60-minute first visit is for.
Telehealth means the appointment is identical wherever you are in Utah:
