Sacramento County · California
Psychiatric care for adults in Sacramento.
Feel August is a California telehealth psychiatry practice with an address in Sacramento. Care is delivered by video by default, so most patients in Sacramento County are seen from home, usually sooner than they would be seen in a waiting room.
Next opening: Wednesday, 9:00 AM with Arthur. That is the live first-visit calendar, not an estimate.
Prescribing, stated plainly
What we will and will not prescribe.
Our clinicians are PMHNP-BCs with full California prescriptive authority, including Schedule II controlled substances. When ADHD is the diagnostic conclusion, stimulants are on the table.
We do not prescribe controlled substances on a first visit as a default rule. Our standard practice is to complete a thorough evaluation, review prior records where they exist, and start a controlled substance at a follow-up rather than on day one. Exceptions exist when the clinical picture clearly warrants it. Your clinician will explain the reasoning behind every prescribing decision, including a no.
We do not prescribe benzodiazepines for chronic anxiety. Refills are sent as a 30-day supply with enough refills to bridge to your next scheduled follow-up; controlled substances are never auto-refilled.
If you are looking for a same-day stimulant prescription, we are not the right practice, and we would rather you know that before you book than after.

How care runs
Sixty minutes first, then the same clinician every time.
Your first visit is a full hour, because a fifteen-minute intake cannot tell the difference between the diagnoses that matter. Follow-ups are twenty minutes, and they are with the person who did your evaluation. How it works →

Questions
Common questions from Sacramento.
Can I be seen in person in Sacramento?
A clinician travels to 1201 J St, Suite 200 for booked visits, so being seen at this address is possible, but it is by appointment only. There is no walk-in desk and no one is there between appointments. In practice the great majority of our care in Sacramento County is delivered by video, which is usually sooner and easier for the patient. If being seen in person matters to you, say so when you book.
Do you prescribe ADHD medication in Sacramento?
Yes, when ADHD is the diagnostic conclusion after a full evaluation. Our clinicians hold California prescriptive authority for Schedule II controlled substances. We do not prescribe stimulants on a first visit as a default rule: the standard is a thorough evaluation first, then a controlled substance at follow-up if it is indicated. We do not prescribe benzodiazepines for chronic anxiety.
Do you take my insurance in Sacramento?
Our payer contracts are statewide, so they apply in Sacramento exactly as they do elsewhere in California. We are in-network with Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Optum, Oscar, and UnitedHealthcare.
