Frequently Asked Questions

Lifted Minds is a client-centered, trauma-informed psychiatric practice specializing in personalized mental wellness. We serve women, veterans, high performers, mothers, and individuals seeking elevated, whole-person care.

We prioritize YOU.
Our approach is:

• client-centered

• nonjudgmental

• culturally aware

• trauma-informed

• holistic

You receive time, attention, and treatment built around your story - not a rushed, insurance-driven model.

We are a self-pay/private-pay practice, offering freedom from insurance limitations.
This allows for:

• longer appointments

• increased privacy

• deeper clinical exploration

• treatment guided by your needs, not insurance rules

Superbills are available for clients seeking reimbursement through their insurance.

Private-pay allows us to provide:

• comprehensive, unhurried appointments

• personalized and thoughtful care

• no forced diagnoses

• complete privacy

• no insurance restrictions or limitations

Clients choose this model because they value deep, human-centered mental healthcare.

At Lifted Minds Psychiatry & Wellness PLLC, we primarily specialize in adult mental health care (ages 18 and older).

However, we do accept children and adolescents on a case-by-case basis, depending on the clinical need, presenting symptoms, and whether it aligns with the level of care we provide.

If you are seeking care for a child or teen, we will first complete a brief screening to determine whether Lifted Minds is the best and safest fit - and if not, we will help guide you to the appropriate provider or resources.

We support clients with:

• anxiety

• depression

• ADHD

• PTSD/trauma

• bipolar disorder

• sleep issues

• stress & burnout

• mood disorders

• LGBTQ+ affirming mental healthcare

• life transitions

If you’re unsure what you’re experiencing, we will help you explore it during your evaluation.

Yes.
As a PMHNP-BC, Renata prescribes psychiatric medications when clinically appropriate and always tailors treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Controlled substances may be prescribed only after:

• a full psychiatric evaluation

• confirmation of diagnosis

• clinical appropriateness

• completion of required screenings (see below)

Controlled substances are not prescribed during the first appointment.

Yes. To ensure safe and responsible prescribing:

• A baseline drug screen is required before any controlled substance is prescribed.

• Random drug screens may be required throughout treatment.

• Lab work may also be ordered if clinically indicated (thyroid, vitamin levels, metabolic panels, etc.).

This supports safety, compliance, and the highest standard of care.

ADHD cannot be diagnosed based on symptoms alone.
We require documented, evidence-based testing, which may include:

• A psychological evaluation conducted by a licensed psychologist or

• A QB Test (FDA-cleared computer-based ADHD assessment) completed virtually

This ensures diagnostic accuracy, protects your health, and strengthens your treatment plan.

Already have testing?
We will review your documentation prior to prescribing.

• Initial Evaluation: 60–75 minutes

• Follow-Up Visits: 20–45 minutes

• Deep-Dive Sessions: 60–90 minutes (Tier 4)

Appointments are intentionally designed to give you time, emotional space, and thoughtful support.
