“I’m really grateful for the care I received from this provider. After struggling for weeks to get my disability paperwork certified, she stepped in right away, listened to what was going on, and took my situation seriously. She treated me with compassion, respect, and urgency, which made me feel supported during a really stressful time.
She explained everything clearly, helped me understand my options, and handled the certification professionally so my benefits could move forward. It was such a relief to finally feel heard and helped.
If you’re looking for a provider who is patient, caring, knowledgeable, and willing to advocate for you, I would highly recommend her. She truly made a difficult situation so much easier, and I appreciate her kindness and follow-through more than she knows.”

Getting to know Brittney Cavaco
I am a licensed and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in treating depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use disorders. I earned a Master of Science in Nursing from Western Governors University and a Post-Master's Certificate in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Herzing University in Minneapolis. Additionally, I hold a Post Graduate Certificate from Herzing University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from National University.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Prior to my career as a nurse practitioner, I was in the mental health nursing field for over 16 years, mostly working with Veterans and their families. During that time I gained clinical expertise in areas such as acute inpatient mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder/traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, and dual diagnosis substance abuse treatment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My personal and professional commitment stem from deep empathy and compassion for those facing mental health challenges. I believe in meeting people wherever they are in terms of their recovery and goals, fostering genuine connection without judgement, and creating a personalized, patient-centered treatment plan designed to empower individuals in their journey and enhance their overall well-being.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $300 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 30 minutes
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
By scheduling this appointment, I attest to the following statements as part of my care agreement with Foresight Mental Health:
ADHD Testing: I understand that validated, objective ADHD testing is required before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment at Foresight. I acknowledge that external records must be reviewed and approved, and that Foresight offers IVA-2 testing for a self-pay fee if needed.
Medication Management: I understand that the decision to initiate, continue, or adjust medication will be made by the psychiatric provider following a full clinical assessment and is not guaranteed.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): I am not seeking MAT services (e.g., Suboxone, Methadone) for opioid use or withdrawal, as these services are not offered by Foresight.
Suicidal Thoughts: I confirm I am not experiencing active suicidal thoughts with intent or plan. I understand that if my symptoms indicate a need for a higher level of care, I may be referred to more appropriate services.
Telehealth Access: I have a stable internet connection and a private space for telehealth sessions. I also have a backup option (such as a phone or hotspot) in case of internet issues.
State Residency: I confirm that I currently reside in the state where I am seeking care and will be physically present in that state at the time of my appointments. I intend to remain in that state for at least the next 30 days to support continuity of care.
No-Show & Late Cancellation Policy: I acknowledge Foresight’s 48-hour cancellation policy and understand that late cancellations or no-shows will result in a fee of $125 for therapy or $150 for psychiatry. I understand that repeated violations may result in discharge from care.
Custody Documentation: If seeking care for a minor, I acknowledge my responsibility to provide current and accurate custody documentation if applicable. I understand that providing false or incomplete information may affect the child’s care and result in liability.
