Yes, we are currently accepting individuals 18 and older. We do not treat children or adolescents.

Each visit is conducted online via a private and secure Telehealth platform for patients located in Alabama and Tennessee.

This allows ease of appointments for individuals in remote locations and those that may not be able to leave work.

We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, & Optum Behavioral Health. As a courtesy, we will make every effort to verify your insurance benefits prior to your first appointment. Please note that verification of benefits is not a guarantee of coverage or payment.

We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time.

If you do not have insurance or your plan is out-of-network, we are happy to offer a self-pay option.

Some insurance plans provide out-of-network benefits, which may allow you to seek reimbursement directly from your insurance carrier. When applicable, our clinic can provide a Superbill containing the diagnosis and billing (CPT) codes for you to submit to your insurance company.

Because out-of-network benefits and reimbursement amounts vary by carrier and plan, we recommend contacting your insurance before scheduling an appointment to determine coverage and expected reimbursement for the applicable services.

Expected fees for Self-Pay Clients can be found in our Good Faith Estimate .

Due to evolving federal regulations around prescribing controlled medications (such as stimulants and benzodiazepines) through Telehealth, our practice does not prescribe these medications.

Many clients find excellent results with safer, non-addictive alternatives that can effectively address anxiety, inattention, or focus concerns.

If a controlled medication is truly the best option, Dr. Brazelton will work collaboratively with your primary care physician to support that plan and ensure your needs are met safely.

In the event of an emergency please call 911, 988 (for mental health crisis), or go to the nearest emergency room.

Due to the structure of this clinic we are not able to provide emergency services.

Dr. Brazelton is happy to welcome Medicare beneficiaries who prefer a private-pay option for more personalized care. Prior to your first appointment, you’ll simply review and sign a ‘Medicare Opt-Out’ consent form, which we’ll provide in advance for your convenience.

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who completes extensive training to develop the skills needed to provide safe and effective evidence-based approaches to help their patients.

Training includes 4 years of medical school followed by 4 years of psychiatric residency specializing in a wide-breadth of mental health conditions. During this time, they learn how to safely manage psychiatric medications while keeping in mind the whole patient including their background, genetics, medical conditions, and potentially dangerous drug interactions.

Psychiatrists also get broad education in various subtypes of psychotherapy including supportive, motivational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and interpersonal psychotherapy.
