Sprout Psychiatry is based in Bellingham, Washington and provides secure virtual appointments throughout Washington State.

You can attend appointments from home or another private location within Washington.

Sprout provides psychiatric evaluation and ongoing treatment for adults experiencing concerns including ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and related mental health concerns.

If you're unsure whether your needs are a good fit for the practice, a free 15-minute consultation is a good place to start.

Your initial psychiatric evaluation is an opportunity to develop a thorough understanding of what you're experiencing.

We'll discuss your current concerns, psychiatric and medical history, medications, relationships, functioning, and other relevant experiences. We'll also consider possible diagnoses and begin developing a treatment plan together.

The goal isn't simply to check symptoms off a list. It's to understand the larger picture before deciding what treatment makes sense.

Yes. Sprout provides adult ADHD evaluation and ongoing treatment.

An ADHD evaluation considers your current symptoms, developmental history, functioning across different areas of life, and other conditions that could contribute to difficulties with attention or executive functioning.

Stimulant medications may be prescribed when clinically appropriate and can be highly effective treatments for ADHD.

However, scheduling an ADHD evaluation does not guarantee an ADHD diagnosis or prescription for a particular medication. Treatment recommendations are based on your individual evaluation, medical history, and the potential risks and benefits of different options.

No.

You don't need to know exactly what's wrong before seeing a psychiatric provider. Part of the purpose of an evaluation is to understand your symptoms and determine whether a psychiatric diagnosis helps explain what you're experiencing.

We can also reevaluate an existing diagnosis if you're uncertain whether it still fits.

No.

Treatment decisions are collaborative. Medication may be recommended when it could be helpful, but we'll discuss the potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and your preferences before making decisions about treatment.

No.

Medication management is an important part of the practice, but Dr. Taylor takes a psychodynamic and relational approach to psychiatric care.

That means treatment can also consider relationships, personality, recurring patterns, and the experiences that have shaped you. The goal is to understand the person experiencing the symptoms, not simply the diagnosis.

Psychotherapeutic work may be incorporated into psychiatric appointments when appropriate.

Many clients also work with a separate therapist. With your permission, Sprout can collaborate with your therapist or other healthcare providers when doing so would be helpful for your care.

Sprout Psychiatry is currently an out-of-network practice and does not bill commercial insurance directly.

Payment is due at the time of service. Upon request, we can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits.

Because benefits vary by plan, contact your insurer directly to determine whether you have out-of-network mental health coverage.

Sprout does not accept Apple Health/Medicaid or Medicare.

Psychiatric care is generally an eligible medical expense for HSA and FSA funds. You may wish to confirm eligibility with your plan administrator if you have questions about your specific plan.
