We understand that reaching out for care—especially mental health care—can feel intimidating.

Our clinic is led by licensed medical professionals with experience in psychiatric care and family medicine. Together, we provide comprehensive evaluation, medication management, and ongoing care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

We are committed to practicing within the highest standards of our professions, while never losing sight of the human being behind the chart.

We currently operate as a cash-pay practice while completing insurance credentialing. This allows us to focus on longer visits, personalized care, and transparent pricing—without the constraints that often come with insurance-driven systems.

We are happy to provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement when applicable and will keep patients informed as insurance options expand.

We work with:

• Adolescents and adults

• Individuals seeking mental health support

• Patients looking for integrated primary and behavioral healthcare

• People in Ringgold, Fort Oglethorpe, and across North Georgia who want care that feels respectful, thoughtful, and collaborative

As a locally focused clinic, we are deeply invested in the health and well-being of the community we serve. We believe access to quality mental health and medical care should feel approachable, not intimidating.

Whether you’re seeking support for mental health concerns, ongoing primary care, or a more connected approach to your overall health, we’re here to help.

We accept all major forms of payment, including debit/credit cards.

We Do Not Provide Emergency or Crisis Services

Our clinic is not equipped to manage psychiatric or medical emergencies.

We do not provide:

• Emergency psychiatric care

• Crisis stabilization

• Inpatient or residential treatment

• 24/7 on-call or crisis response services

If you or someone else is experiencing:

• Suicidal thoughts with intent or plan

• Homicidal thoughts

• Severe agitation or psychosis

• Medical emergencies

Please call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline immediately.

We Do Not Provide Intensive Psychiatric Services

Our services are outpatient and scheduled in advance. We do not offer:

• Inpatient psychiatric care

• Partial hospitalization (PHP)

• Intensive outpatient programs (IOP)

• Court-ordered or forensic evaluations

If a higher level of care is needed, we will help guide you toward appropriate resources when possible.

We Do Not Provide Therapy or Counseling Services

At this time, we do not offer psychotherapy or counseling services directly within our clinic.

We do:

• Provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management

• Collaborate with outside therapists and counselors when patients are engaged in therapy

We are happy to coordinate care with your existing therapist or provide referrals to trusted therapy providers in the community.

We Do Not Prescribe Certain Medications Under Specific Circumstances

For patient safety and clinical appropriateness, there are situations in which we may not prescribe or continue certain medications, including:

• Medications requested without appropriate clinical indication

• Medications that are unsafe or not evidence-based for a particular condition

• Controlled substances without proper evaluation, documentation, or monitoring

All medication decisions are made based on clinical judgment, safety guidelines, and individual patient needs—not on requests alone.

We Do Not Provide One-Time or “Quick Fix” Visits

We believe good care requires continuity. We generally do not provide:

• One-time evaluations without follow-up

• “Second opinion only” visits without ongoing care

• Visits solely for documentation without clinical treatment

Our focus is on building a therapeutic relationship that supports meaningful, ongoing improvement.

We Do Not Treat Outside Our Licensed Scope

We practice strictly within the scope of our professional licenses and applicable laws. This means we do not:

• Provide services outside psychiatric, behavioral health, or family medicine care

• Offer alternative or experimental treatments not supported by evidence

When We May Not Be the Best Fit

We may not be the right clinic for individuals who:

• Require emergency or inpatient psychiatric care

• Are seeking therapy services only

• Are unwilling to participate in collaborative, ongoing care

• Are looking for immediate medication changes without evaluation

If we determine that your needs are better met elsewhere, we will communicate that clearly and respectfully.

Our Commitment to Appropriate Care

Saying “no” to certain services is not about limitation—it’s about responsibility. We believe ethical, high-quality care means practicing within clear boundaries and helping patients access the level of care that best supports their safety and well-being.

If you’re unsure whether our clinic is the right fit, we encourage you to reach out. We’re happy to help clarify next steps.
