Getting to know Amelia Pauley

As a provider with lived experience of significant anxiety, I understand both personally and professionally the challenges that arise when seeking a way out of fear and sadness. Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety and dread? Or perhaps missing the beauty of life and feeling lost without purpose or meaning? If this resonates with you, I truly believe I can be of assistance. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University and am a skilled Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with expertise in medication management. I have also committed myself to becoming thoroughly educated in holistic approaches, both personally and professionally. When you become my patient, I will draw from many resources—integrating therapy and medication management alongside precision medicine (when indicated and desired)—to help you reach your maximum potential. My goal is not only to help you move out of the darkness but also to guide you toward the light. I believe every individual deserves a life full of love and meaning, and I am here to support you on that path. I am trained in Spiritual Integrated Psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, holistic nursing care, and yoga. Additionally, I utilize genetic testing and laboratory data as needed and desired to help patients achieve optimal well-being. I believe in evidence-based treatments and am deeply interested in the intersection of science and spirituality. I look forward to meeting you and growing together.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our initial visit will be lengthy, thorough, and encouraging. I will work with you to obtain as much information surrounding your current struggles and your history to determine the best path forward. If medication is warranted initially this can be done in session one or discussed in more detail at follow-up, depending on your needs. The initial session will last 60-90 minutes and we will develop our next steps before our meeting time ends. Follow-up visits can range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes depending on your needs. At our first follow up we will review a treatment plan based on information obtained in our initial visit. If we are working together for medication management only then 30-minute follow-ups may be sufficient. Therapy + medication management visits will be scheduled for 60 minutes. If you already work with a skillful therapist I encourage you to continue with them and we can meet mindfully to review and discuss your medication needs and treatment. I may also order labs and genetic testing at this time if appropriate. If your therapy needs differ from what I offer I will continue to work with you on your medication management and refer you to a therapist that better fits your needs. At the end of each session, you will hopefully feel heard and valued. You will also be directed on things to work on to improve your circumstances as well as receive prescriptions for medication if needed. You will be an active participant in your care and have a voice in all decisions made. (please note that at this time I am not prescribing controlled substances virtually)

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
