“I've been seeing Precious for 18 months with exceptional results! My regular therapist referred me to her, suggesting we explore medication options for my depression and newly diagnosed ADHD.
From the start, Precious was personable and professional, taking time to fully understand my mental health journey before making any recommendations. I was skeptical about going on prescription medication, but she walked me through multiple options, including potential benefits, side effects, and long-term outcomes. Throughout the process, Precious was extremely thorough and knowledgable, patiently answering my many questions. In addition, she was just as well-versed in holistic supplements as she was in traditional medicines…a refreshing approach!
As of today, both my depression and ADHD symptoms are well-managed, due in large part to low-dose medication and regular therapy. I feel more capable of handling stress and distractions, and I'm encouraged about the future. Thank you, Precious!”

Getting to know Precious Abbott
Hi, my name is Precious Abbott, and I am a dual-trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner as well as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I earned my Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from The University of Alabama and have additional training in perinatal mental health. I particularly enjoy helping women ages 18-45 prioritize their self-care and manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and ADHD by utilizing standard-of-care medication management, along with supplements, sleep hygiene, nutritional recommendations, and brief psychotherapy in conjunction with medication management.
I take a strong collaborative approach to my practice. I educate my clients so they can make informed decisions regarding their treatment plan. If you feel like my approach is what you're looking for in a provider, book now. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Take care :)
What should a new client know about working with you?
I bet you're wondering why you should choose this provider over hundreds of others. I believe what sets me apart is the excellent client experience I provide.
- I'm easily accessible, if you have questions or need refills I'm literally just a HIPAA compliant text away. Say good bye to having to log into separate patient portals and talking to 3rd parties to get messages to reach your provider.
- Refills are sent in a timely manner. Most people receive their refills on the same day of their request and at least on the very next business day.
- I maintain a very low clientele... intentionally. This allows me to show up as my best self. So you get the most of your experience. A burnt out provider is no good to anyone. You deserve to have your providers FULL attention.
- I offer elongated follow ups. No more feeling like cattle with 10-15 minute appointments. You can expect to have 30-45 minute follow ups. However if you're busy, stable on meds and prefer shorter appointments that is available to you as well.
- I opened this practice on the premise of wanting to offer accessible quality care to the busy woman. No more feeling dismissed, disregarded and powerless in your appointments. I will educate you on all of your options, taking your concerns, goals and objectives into consideration and we will come up with a plan together . Feel empowered again with a provider who truly listens to you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our initial visit will consist of a 90 minute evaluation. I'll review your intake paperwork, screening tools and gather important information like family history, past medical history and your social history.
So grab a cup of coffee and be ready to tell me what's going on. This is a very conversational appointment with the only goal of better understanding you, and your symptoms/triggers. Don't forget to relax and breathe I'm here to help you get to a better you.
Follow up appointments are virtual and for 30-45 minutes. Many clients see me on their lunch breaks or before work. The virtual appointments offer unmatched flexibility to minimize disruptions to your day.
I do offer brief psychotherapy integrated into your medication management appointments as needed. This may look like helping you identify negative patterns, cognitive distortions and maladaptive coping mechanisms. I also help brain storm on certain organizational techniques and ways to "cope ahead" to set you up for success in your day to day life.

Precious has been extremely helpful in my journey managing ADHD. She really listens to me and gives me options to let me decide how I want to address my concerns. I definitely recommend her if you are someone unfamiliar with your options on managing ADHD.

Most of my visits are telemedicine. Appointments start on time, they are focused and productive. The one "in person" appointment per year required due to my medication type was efficient and I had plenty of notice to arrange my schedule to accommodate.

Precious is a great provider and easy to talk to about my symptoms or medication needs. Her questions are balanced between asking directly about symptoms and personal/friendly check ins about what's going on in your life, which has helped me give her better details I might've overlooked.
She's always on time and has such warm energy when she shows up. My appointments usually last between 15-25 mins but they never feel rushed or forced.
She's also very quick with sending my medications to the pharmacy and making sure they're ready for pick up. And whenever the pharmacy does have any hold-ups or errors, she's easy to reach and handles the issue right away.
Tl;dr
She's professional and warm

Honestly, Precious is amazing at what she does. She is super down-to-earth, actually listens, and completely validates what I'm going through. There's no judgment with her at all—just a safe, comfortable space where I can be 100% real. It’s hard to find care providers you can genuinely trust like this, being able to meet with her has definitely made a difference for me.

I appreciate her openness to making adjustments and working through life’s changes as they come. I feel like myself as a whole person is taken into account, and not just a checklist of diagnostic criteria, which makes for a warm and welcoming environment.
