Christy Cotner, PMHNP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
OK
Many adults come to me after feeling dismissed, overmedicated, or unsure of their diagnosis. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years in healthcare, and my work focuses on getting the diagnosis right and building a clear, sustainable treatment plan. My background spans both psychiatry and primary care, so I look at the full picture — not just symptoms, but medical contributors, stress patterns, and life context that often get missed in a 15-minute visit. I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, complex mood disorders, adult ADHD, medication management, and second opinions when treatment has stalled or doesn't feel like it's working. If you've felt unheard, or like your current treatment plan isn't quite right, I'd like to help you find clarity and a path forward.

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.
