Well Coast’s Unique Collaborative Care Model

At Well Coast Medical, you’re never alone in your mental health journey. Our team works together – psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and therapists – to make sure your care is connected, thoughtful, and focused on you.

If You’re in California

Your care begins with a comprehensive evaluation by a highly trained psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) or physician assistant (PA), working closely with our board-certified psychiatrist. Your psychiatrist may join your initial visit or be involved in future appointments, depending on your needs. This team-based approach ensures your treatment plan is thoughtful, personalized, and built with expert oversight from the very beginning.

After that, you’ll continue meeting with your nurse practitioner or physician assistant for ongoing medication management, while your psychiatrist stays involved behind the scenes – reviewing your progress, consulting with your clinician, and adjusting your care plan as needed to ensure you’re receiving the best possible treatment.

We’ll also help connect you with one of our highly trained therapists, or if you already have a therapist you trust, we’re happy to collaborate with them to make sure your care feels seamless and well-coordinated.

If You’re in Oregon

Your journey begins with a psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP) who provides independent, comprehensive care tailored to your needs. While your nurse practitioner serves as your main provider, they stay closely connected with our psychiatric team for ongoing collaboration, consultation and support – so you benefit from the expertise of an entire care team, not just one clinician. You can also choose to work with one of our in-house therapists, or we can coordinate care with your existing therapist to ensure everyone is working together toward your goals.
