“This is my first session where the doctor listened very well and also paraphrased my situation and helped me find solutions and homework that I can work on to improve where I'm at. I've worked with other specialists before and not many will take the time to actually listen The first thing they will do is prescribe me medications right away before hearing out my situation This doctor is different and I really appreciate that I do strongly recommend and no I was not paid to write this.”

Getting to know Shea T. Sawyer
Hi! I am Shea, a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner working in psychiatry. I have several years of experience working with people that desire to improve their wellness. I use medications to treat as well as appropriate referrals and health promotion education. I can formally diagnose and treat all psychiatric conditions. However, although I work with patients to find medications that help, I often also work with patients that desire to be free from medications.
Do you feel anxious? Sad? Stuck? Do you battle with anger? For many years I have worked with people struggling with such struggles including the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood swings. If you would like to create a treatment plan or to hear more about what the standards of care are, I would be pleased to offer my services to you.
I treat many conditions including but not limited to: Anxiety. Depression. Panic disorder. Mood dysregulation. Bipolar. Addiction. Feeling stuck. Having hurts. Bad habits. Psychological distress, be it worries, fears, or negative thinking.
I also offer Gene Sight testing to see which medications you may best respond to. I also offer FDA approved computerized testing for ADD/ADHD. In addition to this, I offer blood test to look for medical contributing factors.
Book an appt with me if you would like to hear more. You will always have a chance to ask questions. Together we will go over any diagnosis made as well as the prognosis, treatment, alternative treatments, and appropriate referrals.
What should a new client know about working with you?
A clear treatment plan to address your concerns, symptoms, or issue.

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.

Would not recommend. Provider did not seem to have time nor interest in listening to any additional input from my part during the appointment beyond the general checklist paperwork completed via email before appointment (that did not have options to provide this additional information). Provider was rushed, hurried, rude and prescribed medication even though I expressed was not interested in starting with medication but wanted to try some of the other approaches listed in profile.

Helpful experience. Got me on track to starting my healing journey. Able to make the transition from no help to getting with someone to improving my life easy.
December 26, 2024Jaycie C.Verified patientVideo visit
He was good. Listened and seemed to care, I had a medicine in mind to try but he recommended another so I’m giving it a try first. So far so good. Follow up booked.
December 19, 2024Jerrett P.Verified patientVideo visit
Shae was really professional and seemed to really care about helping me to start feeling better. When he asked questions, he listened patiently and intently. I didn’t feel rushed during our appointment. The best part was he didn’t seem judgmental when I described my feelings to him, even when at times it was difficult for me to describe. He seemed to genuinely care. I will continue to meet with him follow-ups. Highly recommend.

Professional and listens to you.

Every time I see Shea with an appointment, he’s by far the greatest person. He finds a way to help me navigate my issues, and he doesn’t try to shove medication down my system. He often provides the explanation needed to give me hope and clarity in all my circumstances and/or situation.

Mr. Sawyer is very open in finding solutions to problems I bring up and when something developed just days after my appointment they were willing to quickly schedule a follow up to go over this new information and situation.

The most compassionate, problem solving medical professional I’ve ever met. Can’t believe how lucky I am to have found his skillset and thoughtful intention
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenSource: Partner
Shea is very knowledgeable and kind when speaking to my specific situation. Shea is also very open to my own thoughts and suggestions when speaking about my treatment plans and options. I personally appreciate Shea's Christian approach to my situation - while he isn't pushing this approach on me. My experience with Shea has been excellent

Shea was phenomenal working with my son. He radiates warmth throughout the sessions. I loved his approach of listening thoroughly, open to finding a more holistic method of healing, and was mindful of the time needed for his services.

He has been my favorite psychiatrist so far!
July 28, 2024Ethan S.Verified patientVideo visit
Great doctor! He is a great listener and really makes you feel heard. He makes you feel like you matter and better yet reassures you that God loves you too. I thought it was so cool that he asked to pray for me at the end of the appointment, definitely sets him apart from other doctors in the best way possible.
July 16, 2024Ethan S.Verified patientVideo visit
The first doctor to actually care about me. Asked all the right questions I had no idea were needed to help me and understand my mental state. Started off telling me he’s Christian and prays for his clients just a fair warning he said but even though I’m not Christian, it felt so amazing to hear. Went through medication ideas and overall, I left the apt feeling so happy and excited for the future with myself. He’s amazing 10/10!!!
June 13, 2024Savannah S.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr. Sawyer is awesome. He is upfront about his thoughts but also takes your perspective into account. Dr. Sawyer addresses the problems in the best way possible while providing above and beyond support / care. 11/10 recommend

Mr Sawyer genuinely wants to help his patients. I have had a wonderful experience and am no longer suffering from anxiety. I have and will continue to recommend him to others!
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenSource: Partner
Felt very comfortable from the very beginning of the session and he made me feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I felt understood and he gave me hope that things would get better with God’s guidance, Christian based therapy and medications. I felt so much more at ease after the appointment and I recommend him to anyone needing help. Looking forward to our next appointment!
April 12, 2024Kristina S.Verified patientVideo visit
He asked about my past and listened patiently. Asked me relevant questions and told me not to worry. If I would allow him to find me a treatment plan, that we would definitely ind a way together.
At the end of ur conversation, he asked if I minded if he prayed over me. WHICH I LOVED! I to am a Christian but sometimes we need understanding fellowship!

This man is everything a psych doctor needs to be and more. Woke up at 7 am just to make sure I got my time with him. Great guy!
December 14, 2023Christian H.Verified patientVideo visit
Let me go on and on and on which is not typical. Anyone else who is a bag of wind like myself, can usually tell when they're starting to tune you out and even though I absolutely define going off topic, he didn't stop me and he clearly listened. I could tell I was boring him to death or he was not 100% woke up, however, say that to say this, he never once rushed me along. Unfortunately, he's not able to prescribe the medisin [purposely misspelled] I had been on however, that is my fault for failing to catch that on his webpage.
December 4, 2023Tiffany S.Verified patientVideo visit
He is a Christian, which he disclosed right at the beginning of the appointment. While I am a Christian I can greatly appreciate his openness about this as some people may see a bias there. He was open to me about his military service as well, which while I was unaware of until he brought it up, him having been in the military and going into not only medicine, but psychiatric medicine absolutely affirmed to me that he wasn’t the stereotypical “suck it up and keep going” type that is common in the military. Overall he listened to everything I had to say and was very tactful with his responses. I can with full honesty say that I greatly appreciated his help, honesty, compassion and respectfulness. He is the measure to which I will hold up future psychiatric practitioners to.
August 18, 2023Benjamin H.Verified patientVideo visit
Me. Sawyer was pleasant, got to the point and besides a new medication recommendation, he also gave me ideas on things that are non medication related to help me in my journey. Highly recommend especially if this step for you is new and uncomfortable.
April 15, 2023Bradley S.Verified patientVideo visit
He is nice and polite and will take his time but not helpful in terms of prescribing or discussing current medications. It seems this has to a lot to do with the office he is at which also failed at providing me any sort of statement but took my card anyways. They will only prescribe very specific meds compared to most psychiatry centers. Also unnecessary to know his religious background which he will tell you which is also on his various profiles.
