Getting to know Whitney Lipscomb

My name is Whitney Lipscomb, I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). I founded Embrace Psychiatry & Wellness, PLLC to offer a mental health experience that is compassionate, clinically sound, and deeply respectful of your story. If you’re reading this, you’ve already taken a courageous first step—and I’m here to help you navigate what comes next. At Embrace, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. We meet you where you are—with empathy, professionalism, and a commitment to treating the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or mood disorders, you’re not alone. And your healing doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Why I Chose This Work As a mental health provider, I’ve seen how trauma, stress, and silence can shape lives. I’ve also seen how therapy, medication, and human connection can restore hope. I chose psychiatric services not only to treat, but to create safe spaces where people could finally feel seen, heard, and empowered to thrive.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My practice is rooted in integrative, patient-centered care. That means I don’t just treat the diagnosis—I treat you. Every visit is tailored to your unique needs, lifestyle, and goals. I specialize in psychiatric evaluation and treatment of depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, bipolar disorder and psychosis.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I use a collaborative, patient-centered approach that combines medication management with supportive psychotherapy when appropriate. Care begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation, followed by an individualized treatment plan. Follow-up visits focus on symptom monitoring, medication management, brief therapeutic interventions to support stability.

Don’t see your insurance?

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $400 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $200 for 45 minutes
  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

More information on payments and coverage

I offer transparent self-pay pricing and a subscription-based option for cash-pay patients. The initial evaluation is $300 for a 60-minute visit, and follow-up visit is $150 for 30 minutes, based on clinical needs. Monthly subscription options may be available for ongoing care and are discussed during the initial visit to ensure a good fit. Payment is due at the time of service.

I had a hard time finding a new psychiatrist after leaving my previous one, and the search was honestly stressful. But meeting Whitney changed everything. From the start, she made me feel comfortable, understood, and supported. Her approach is warm, patient, and professional, and I already feel hopeful about the progress I can make with her. I’m grateful to have found someone I connect with, and I genuinely look forward to working with Whitney. Highly recommend!

The provider called me yesterday 09/26 @ 630 pm to confirm my appointment for 09/27 @1:15pm. I confirmed and completed forms. I woke up this morning on 09/27 to a text my appointment had been rescheduled to 8:15 am with no explanation from the provider. I was not available at that time. No call, no email, nothing. Very unprofessional and I tried to contact provider. Nothing.
