Access Now Primary Care provides virtual telehealth visits, making mental health care as easy as possible. During your online appointments, Dr. Baxley can evaluate your symptoms, provide counseling, prescribe medications, and recommend specialist treatments (psychotherapy or behavioral therapy). 

If you’re struggling with your mental health, you can learn about the signs of a mental health condition and make changes to improve your symptoms.

Which conditions can impact my mental health?

Access Now Primary Care provides assessments and counseling for many mental health disorders, including mood and neurodevelopmental disorders. Dr. Baxley reviews your health concerns and compares it with the symptoms for certain conditions to find the best way to help you. 

Access Now Primary Care provides online counseling for common conditions, such as:

  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Anxiety
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Insomnia

In many cases, two or more of these conditions are present at the same time. If you have multiple health issues, Dr. Baxley can help you find the proper care for each condition.

How can I manage my mental health?

Managing your mental health effectively requires dedication on your part. Dr. Baxley creates a custom treatment plan based on your symptoms and supports you with ongoing care and follow-ups.

Counseling

Counseling allows you to discuss your thoughts and feelings and make changes to your lifestyle and behaviors.
