“I met with Arlena Obey for the first time today and found her to be very intelligent, holistic focused, and kind. I really appreciate providers who do take a holistic approach vs being myopic. She also has a calm presence and energy which made me feel very comfortable.”

“I was a little nervous about opening up because I'm really scared to talk with people but Ms. Obey was so warm and friendly right out of the gate I really felt I was able to share what was really going on in my life. I also feel very satisfied with her recommendations on where to go from here. Before, any advice I got was to just keep taking my medication but she gave some actually good advice and solutions that can help. She laid out a plan for me. Very grateful for her.”

Getting to know Arlena Obey
Hi, I'm Arlena, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 10 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Saint Louis University and completed my post-master's PMHNP certification at South College in Knoxville. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood concerns, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and judgment-free-I focus on listening closely, building trust, and creating a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals and fits your life.

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.
