What Kathie helps with
Bring what’s
on your mind.
You do not need a diagnosis to ask for help. Kathie works with adults seeking assessment, treatment, or a thoughtful review of existing psychiatric care.
01 / A place to begin
Anxiety & persistent worry
When worry is hard to set aside, or you feel tense, on edge, or preoccupied, it can affect work, relationships, rest, and parenting. You can bring those experiences to an assessment without deciding for yourself what they mean.
Discuss when it happens, how it affects daily life, what you have tried, and any concerns about treatment.
02 / A place to begin
Depression & low mood
A change in mood can also show up as less interest, less energy, difficulty getting started, or feeling disconnected. A psychiatric visit is a place to describe your experience and consider what may be contributing.
Bring your timeline, previous care, current medications, and the changes you most want help with.
03 / A place to begin
Pregnancy, postpartum & parenting
Mental health questions can arise during pregnancy, after birth, and well beyond the newborn stage. Kathie welcomes conversation about mood, worry, identity, responsibilities, and the demands of caring for children.
Mention pregnancy, postpartum timing, breastfeeding, and other clinicians involved in your care so recommendations can account for your circumstances.
04 / A place to begin
Attention & ADHD concerns
Trouble focusing or organizing can have different explanations. Kathie sees adults with ADHD concerns and people seeking review of an existing diagnosis or treatment plan. Assessment comes before deciding what care is appropriate.
Ask about the assessment process and records that would help. Kathie also lists formal ADHD evaluations as a separate self-pay service; ask about its scope and fee rather than assuming it is included in the standard initial visit.
05 / A place to begin
Bipolar disorder & mood patterns
For someone with a bipolar diagnosis or questions about changes in mood and energy, it helps to discuss the pattern over time, previous treatment, and the effect on daily life. Kathie offers psychiatric care for bipolar disorder.
Share previous evaluations and medication experiences when available. The initial visit helps determine the appropriate next steps and level of support.
06 / A place to begin
Sleep & mental health
Difficulty sleeping may be part of a larger mental health concern, a separate health issue, or several factors together. Kathie considers sleep within the overall assessment rather than assuming one explanation.
Describe your usual sleep pattern, what has changed, and relevant health conditions or medications.
Already receiving care?
You can ask about reviewing your current plan or adding psychiatric care alongside therapy. Bring the details of your current providers and discuss coordination before making changes. This page describes areas of practice; it cannot determine whether a particular service is appropriate for you.
Especially when life is full
You can be capable
and still need support.
Keeping up with responsibilities does not tell the whole story of how you are feeling.
You might be managing work and family while privately worrying more, enjoying less, or feeling unlike yourself. You can talk about that without arriving with a polished explanation.
Timshel’s focus on mothers and busy family lives is an invitation, not a requirement. Kathie also works with other adults and older adults.
Meet the person you’ll talk withFinding the right level of care
The introductory conversation can help clarify whether your concern falls within Kathie’s practice. A full assessment is needed before diagnosis or treatment recommendations. Some concerns may require additional evaluation, another specialist, or a different level of care.
The free conversation and this website are not urgent-care services. Do not wait for a consultation response if you need immediate help.
Not sure what to call it?
Start with what you notice. “I feel on edge most evenings.” “I’m not enjoying things the way I used to.” “My current medication raises questions for me.” Specific examples are more useful than trying to choose the right diagnostic label.
You can use the free introduction to ask whether an initial psychiatric appointment would be a sensible next step.
