Getting to know Brittney Cavaco
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of psychiatric clinical experience. Throughout my career, I have worked across a wide variety of diagnoses and clinical settings, from inpatient and residential programs to outpatient and telehealth care, treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, ADHD, and substance use disorders, among others. I strive to create a safe, collaborative space where individuals feel understood, respected, and supported in their care.
My path to psychiatry began as a nurse in psychiatric settings, where I quickly realized how deeply mental health touches every part of a person’s life. Spending over a decade caring for Veterans, many carrying invisible wounds of trauma, PTSD, and substance use, deepened my commitment to this work and ultimately inspired me to pursue advanced practice because I wanted to do more: to sit with patients, understand the full picture, and be a consistent, trusted presence in their healing journey.
ADHD Treatment Policy: Foresight requires validated, objective ADHD testing before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment. Previous testing and records from outside providers may be accepted following clinical review. If testing is needed, Foresight offers IVA-2 ADHD testing as a self-pay service.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I love spending time with my family and our pets, who never fail to bring much-needed joy and laughter to the day. I also have a passion for travel and how it opens my eyes to new cultures, perspectives, and ways of living which is something that quietly informs how I care for each unique person I work with. I believe that full, connected lives outside the office matter deeply to mental wellness, and I try to bring that same appreciation for balance and joy into my work with patients.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach is collaborative, evidence-based, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will explore your symptoms, history, and goals to build a treatment plan that feels right for you, whether that involves medication, psychoeducation, supportive therapy, or a combination of approaches. I prioritize taking time to explain medication options clearly, check in on how you are responding, and adjust our plan as your needs evolve, so you always feel informed, respected, and in the driver’s seat of your care.
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $300 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 30 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
By scheduling this appointment, I attest to the following statements as part of my care agreement with Foresight Mental Health:
ADHD Testing: I understand that validated, objective ADHD testing is required before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment at Foresight. I acknowledge that external records must be reviewed and approved, and that Foresight offers IVA-2 testing for a self-pay fee if needed.
Medication Management: I understand that the decision to initiate, continue, or adjust medication will be made by the psychiatric provider following a full clinical assessment and is not guaranteed.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): I am not seeking MAT services (e.g., Suboxone, Methadone) for opioid use or withdrawal, as these services are not offered by Foresight.
Suicidal Thoughts: I confirm I am not experiencing active suicidal thoughts with intent or plan. I understand that if my symptoms indicate a need for a higher level of care, I may be referred to more appropriate services.
Telehealth Access: I have a stable internet connection and a private space for telehealth sessions. I also have a backup option (such as a phone or hotspot) in case of internet issues.
State Residency: I confirm that I currently reside in the state where I am seeking care and will be physically present in that state at the time of my appointments. I intend to remain in that state for at least the next 30 days to support continuity of care.
No-Show & Late Cancellation Policy: I acknowledge Foresight’s 48-hour cancellation policy and understand that late cancellations or no-shows will result in a fee of $125 for therapy or $150 for psychiatry. I understand that repeated violations may result in discharge from care.
Custody Documentation: If seeking care for a minor, I acknowledge my responsibility to provide current and accurate custody documentation if applicable. I understand that providing false or incomplete information may affect the child’s care and result in liability.

As a nurse practitioner myself, it was great to have someone listen to my concerns and address my questions. Brittney was trauma conscious when assessing my PTSD specifically, which was deeply appreciated. She was professional, caring, and explained everything to me about my medication. I highly recommend her!

I’m really grateful for the care I received from this provider. After struggling for weeks to get my disability paperwork certified, she stepped in right away, listened to what was going on, and took my situation seriously. She treated me with compassion, respect, and urgency, which made me feel supported during a really stressful time.
She explained everything clearly, helped me understand my options, and handled the certification professionally so my benefits could move forward. It was such a relief to finally feel heard and helped.
If you’re looking for a provider who is patient, caring, knowledgeable, and willing to advocate for you, I would highly recommend her. She truly made a difficult situation so much easier, and I appreciate her kindness and follow-through more than she knows.
