Getting to know Jay Timacdog
Do you sometimes wonder what it is like to have control over your mental health? Maybe you want to travel, go see a movie, or spend time with your family.
My name is Dr. Jay Timacdog. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of South Alabama and am a dual-certified nurse practitioner in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care and Psych-Mental Health. I provide psychiatry services through telehealth in California. With extensive experience in patient care, my goal is for my patients to have more time to spend on the things that matter most to them.
I am comfortable working with adult clients, particularly those with chronic health conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease. Often, these patients' mental health is overlooked due to their physical health status and goes untreated. I understand how difficult it can be to stay healthy-it can be overwhelming, depressing, distressing, or anxiety-inducing.
I incorporate my primary care skills to provide a holistic and client-centered approach in addressing the mental healthcare needs of my patients. I use motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral therapy to empower them and help them gain insight into their current health status so they can take control of their health.
I am passionate about educating my patients on health promotion and disease prevention practices, which are essential to enhancing overall well-being. These principles also guide my own lifestyle-I regularly practice Yoga and Tai Chi to support my mental and physical health.
I commend you for taking the initial steps in seeking assistance for your mental healthcare needs. I am here to help you find that mind-body connection and assist you in navigating your mental health challenges. Together, we can work to maximize your full health potential and enhance your quality of life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Your initial intake session will take about 45 minutes. This is an opportunity for me to gather more information about your health condition, understand your healthcare needs and identify your concerns. Likewise, this is also the chance for you to determine if I'm a good fit as your mental healthcare provider.
I prefer to have closer monitoring of my patients during the early treatment phase. The subsequent sessions will be shorter than the initial ones, about 30 minutes or less.
Once your health is more stable with the treatment regimen, we can change the frequency of our appointments pending on changes made on the treatment plan. My end goal is for you to feel better and achieve remissions of your symptoms.

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.
