Who we are
A board-certified team, and appointments that don't feel rushed.
J2 Healthcare exists because psychiatric visits kept getting shorter while what people needed to understand about their own care kept getting more complicated. We keep the panel small on purpose, so a first visit runs close to an hour and a follow-up never feels like a formality.
Compassionate care
A safe, judgment-free space where every patient is heard, respected and supported.
A board-certified team
Experienced prescribers, therapists and evaluators working together on your care plan.
In person, telepsych & home visits
Flexible appointments in the office, online, or in your home — with new patients seen quickly.
Nothing prescribed before it's explained
You should be able to say what a medication is for, how long it takes, and what to watch for before you fill it.
What we offer
Mental health and medical weight loss, in one practice.
Talk therapy, medication support, counseling, substance use treatment or help reaching a healthy weight — our team builds a plan around you, for every season of life.
Not sure what you need?
Most people start with an evaluation. We'll work out the rest together from there.

Getting started
Three steps, and the first one takes a minute
1
2Full evaluation
A 50–60 minute first visit, in person or by video, where we take a complete history and agree on a plan together.
3Ongoing care
Follow-ups every few weeks at first, then as needed — with messaging in between for refills and side effects.
Before your video visit
Three things to do beforehand
Video visits run the same length as in-office appointments. A few minutes of setup means the whole hour goes to the conversation.
All you need is a private space and a phone or laptop.
1.Complete your forms
You'll get consent forms and two short questionnaires by email. Filling them in ahead of time gives us more of the visit to actually talk.
2.Send records and medications
Have past records faxed over, and email a list of what you're currently taking with doses, plus your pharmacy and any other prescribers.
3.Check your setup
Use a device with a camera and microphone, click the link we send a few minutes early, and find somewhere private. A parked car counts.

In patients' words
What people say afterward
“She was the first provider who asked what I wanted out of treatment instead of telling me. Six months in and I actually feel like myself.”
“I've never been able to keep appointments consistently. Doing it by video from home is the only reason I'm still in care.”
“She explained exactly what the medication does and what to watch for. Nobody had ever done that before.”
TODO: replace with real, consented patient reviews before launch.
