Late last year, Big Sandy Medical Center welcomed a new speciality to the clinic. Cheyenne Feltz is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, bringing mental health services to the area. While receiving treatment for your mental health used to carry quite a stigma, that reality is changing. Seeing a therapist, counselor, or Psych NP is not something to be ashamed of or feared. You would likely not think twice about getting help from a urologist for your kidney health and well-being, or a cardiologist for your heart health and well-being. Cheyenne is the specialist for your emotional and mental well-being.
You may think that if you don’t have ‘depression’ you don’t need to see her. That is not true at all. Cheyenne not only helps with problems like depression and anxiety, but she can also offer support for grief, recovering from a trauma, managing a particular stressful situation in your life, or just getting to know yourself better so you can better manage your emotions and reactions to the various situations life throws your way. She is a professional listener and offers sound direction.
Here’s something really neat. You don’t even have to come to the clinic in person! She is certified to do Telehealth visits so she can work with you while you remain in the comfort of your own home! Maybe you want to begin working with her in person, but don’t want to drive on the winter roads. No problem. You can do both! Maybe you are traveling for work, or your summer vacation and still want to keep your appointment. That is okay! As long as you have an internet connection and a private space to talk, you can work with her from anywhere.
How do you get set up with Cheyenne? It’s quite simple. You just call the clinic and ask for an appointment. They will get you all set up on her schedule. You do not need a referral. You do not need any previous documentation. You do not need to be in crisis. You just need to make a phone call and the clinic staff will take care of the rest. Most insurance plans offer coverage for mental health appointments, but the best way to see what your plan covers is to call your insurance representative or verify with your online account. For those without insurance, there are income-based payment options for you too! Payment should never be a barrier to your mental wellness. Cheyenne is available for appointments most Mondays and Tuesdays and is looking forward to meeting with you! You can direct your questions or schedule your appointment at 406-378-2189.
