“Very nice, broke things down into sections and then went back over each section before moving on to make sure he understood everything correctly, and he was very through”

“Mr. Walker was prompt. There was little to no wait time. I was comfortable throughout and felt heard. There are no quick fixes but I feel like I have a plan of action that suits my situation.”

Getting to know Joseph Walker
Joseph Walker is welcoming new patients for video appointments. As a Board Certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master's degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Georgia Southern University, he specializes in the treatment of anxiety and depression for both adolescents and adults. He has treated children and adults in inpatient crisis stabilization units, community mental health centers, small group practices, and private practice settings.
Joseph focuses on the treatment of depression, anxiety, and stress disorders using FDA-approved and evidence-based treatments. He creates treatment plans tailored to fit your specific needs.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Without overwhelming you, we will work towards moving towards a more holistic lifestyle that supports emotional wellness. These may include eating a more balanced diet, making healthier lifestyle choices, developing a structured morning routine, planning for daily activities, or building time for exercise and spending time outdoors into your day.
Not every patient will need to make so many changes, and we will focus on moving slowly. We will look for the actions that you can actually take, that won’t be difficult for you, and can make a significant difference in your mental health. Feeling more in control of your schedule, and implementing healthy changes, can help reduce anxiety and depression.

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.

My first session was extremely smooth, it was comforting to talk to the doctor and he would listen and not rush you at all. Talking to him is basically therapy, I felt much better after the session. Looking forward to future sessions and to see the results

Mr. Walker is the best! He provides direct and practical solutions/suggestions and always encourages me to pursue those solutions head on. He helped me get back into therapy and got me on the right medication, which has been life changing. He’s kind and straightforward! I’d recommend him to anyone.

Joseph is great, he listens, but gets down to actionable things that I can do to improve. Makes it feel like there’s progress each time, instead of a 30 minute vent session.

Mr Walker has helped me more than any other mental health professional. He has a lot of knowledge that is current, and is taking a whole new approach. He seems to be genuinely interested in helping me get better.

Joseph Walker is a fantastic psychiatrist. In my experience I have seen so many psychiatrists who didn’t listen or answer any of my questions. Mr. Walker actually gave me a clear diagnosis, really listened to me, and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking a true professional psychiatrist.
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenSource: Partner
Dr. Walker didn't waste any time getting to the bottom of how I was feeling, and I am so appreciative of that. He immediately made suggestions regarding my daily routine to help treat depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as recommended a really insightful book that helped me to understand the spectrum of depressive disorders. Additionally, he was adamant about getting a lab panel done, which was the real cornerstone in coming up with a treatment plan for me as the results lent a lot of valuable information. I felt he was very direct in his approach, which is what I needed at the time. I'm very grateful because I now have a better holistic understanding of my mental health and a game plan for treating symptoms as they arise.

went perfectly, would recommend.
July 25, 2023Kobe B.Verified patientVideo visit
Took the time to understand my issues and asked great questions. Quickly ruled out the more severe mental health conditions to concentrate on my issues. Before prescribing or modifying current meds & doses, he takes a holistic treatment approach by first prescribing targeted dietary, exercise, organizational techniques that align with my issues.
July 7, 2023Tony V.Verified patientVideo visit
Took the time to understand my history and provided a thorough explanation of my diagnosis. Not only prescribed an appropriate medication but made sensible lifestyle and diet change recommendations . Also made recommendations on a weekly therapy program to assist with healing and recovery.

December 21, 2022Vanessa T.Verified patientVideo visit
I was looking for a psychiatrist for my manic symptoms because I didn’t know how nurses practitioner were different.
I was amazed that he was very knowledgeable about medicine and its interaction, he said what I have is temporary and it’s mood spectrum disorder, not bipolar. I was so relieved to hear that.
He pointed out that the infection I was told I have at the emergency room the other day could be the main reason for my illness.
Besides changing my medication for now so I can get decent sleep, he told me to start taking antibiotics for the infection.
It was yesterday and I feel like I’m healed today. I should not be too happy but I’m so greatful I met him. Not sure any provider would have told me to do the same.

Overall experience was great. Completing the forms ahead of the appointment allowed us to get right into what I was looking for, to ensure I was being treated properly and had the right diagnosis. Joseph was very thorough in his questions and allowed me time to ask my questions. He didn't rush to prescribe medication which is refreshing. He explained his diagnosis and offered suggestions to address my anxiety in addition to treating the problem. I appreciate his approach and highly recommend Joseph
