You're in the right place. At Fern & Fathom, we'd love to help you figure out what's going on — without judgment, without rushing, and without making you feel like just another patient.
We're so glad you're here. At Fern & Fathom, our goal is to make mental health care feel less clinical and more human. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or just need someone to actually listen — we offer psychiatric evaluations, medication management, supportive therapy, and wellness coaching, all from the comfort of wherever you are.
We work especially well with people who feel stuck, hesitant, or who've had bad experiences with providers in the past. If you've felt rushed, dismissed, or judged before — we get it, and we'll do this differently together.
Most insurance and self-pay accepted. Take the first step toward feeling better. We're here to help.
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."
Real, unhurried conversations. Time to actually be heard. A plan we build together — because you know your life better than we ever could.
We combine non-controlled medications with lifestyle interventions — nutrition, sleep, therapy — for sustainable mental wellness.
Wherever you are right now — stuck, exhausted, hopeful, hesitant — there's a way forward. We're here to help you find it.
You've explored your options, and you know what you're looking for. We're here when you're ready.

We welcome your pets in your virtual sessions. If your dog, cat, or other companion brings you comfort, calm, or grounding — they belong here too.
Animal-assisted therapy is part of how we approach whole-person care. The presence of a beloved pet during a session can ease anxiety, support emotional regulation, and make difficult conversations feel a little softer. You don't need a certified service animal — just bring whoever helps you feel most like yourself.

Hi, I'm Dr. Raven — pet lover, world traveler, and proud U.S. Navy veteran. With a Doctor of Nursing Practice and board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring deep clinical expertise paired with the kind of genuine warmth my patients tell me they couldn't find anywhere else.
I specialize in integrative psychiatric care for adults navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma, OCD, ADHD (with non-stimulant approaches), grief and loss, and major life transitions. I take a whole-person approach: medication when it makes sense, paired with supportive therapy, lifestyle considerations, and, when you'd like, animal-assisted therapy with my own beloved dogs.
Patients tell me I'm different from other providers they've worked with — that I'm approachable, that they don't feel judged, and that they can finally just be themselves. That's exactly what I'm trying to build here. No five-minute medication checklists, no rushed appointments, no feeling like a number. Just real conversations and a plan that's truly yours.
"Caring for patients isn't just my profession — it's my passion."
Hi, I'm Marie — a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from trying to manage your mental health on your own — or if you've been discouraged by trial-and-error medication cycles in the past — you're in the right place. You deserve care that feels clear, intentional, and supportive.
My approach begins with listening. I see you as a whole person — shaped by your experiences, values, and culture — not just a diagnosis. Every decision is made with you, not for you. Support is also available in Spanish for those who feel more comfortable in their native language.
I work with adults, adolescents, children, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, eating disorders, panic, grief, and life transitions — among many others. My care combines thoughtful, individualized medication management with supportive therapy, so you don't have to choose between feeling heard and getting effective treatment. We'll go at your pace, with clear explanations and close follow-up at every step.
"You deserve care that respects who you are and where you come from."
We're growing. As demand for thoughtful, integrative psychiatric care continues to rise, we're carefully expanding our team — bringing on additional licensed providers who share our commitment to warm, unhurried, judgment-free care.
If you're hoping to be matched with one of our newer providers — or you have specific preferences for the kind of care, scheduling, or experience you're looking for — send us a note. We'll respond personally with availability and help you find the right fit.

We provide HIPAA-compliant telehealth psychiatric care to patients located in Texas, Hawaii, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, and New Hampshire. As long as you're physically in one of these states during your appointment, we can see you.
No — and we want to be upfront about that. We specialize in integrative, evidence-based psychiatric care without controlled substances. We do not prescribe Adderall, Xanax, Ativan, Ritalin, Valium, or Ambien. Instead, we use safe, effective non-controlled medications (like SSRIs, SNRIs, and non-stimulant ADHD treatments such as Strattera and Qelbree) combined with lifestyle interventions, therapy, and wellness coaching for sustainable mental health.
Yes — and we encourage it. Many of our patients bring their dogs, cats, or other companion animals to their virtual sessions. If your pet brings you comfort, helps regulate your anxiety, or just makes you feel more at home, please include them. There's no extra cost or paperwork — just bring whoever helps you feel most like yourself.

If you're not sure where you fit — that's okay. Helping you figure that out is part of the process.
Honestly? For most people, it isn't. Texas, Hawaii, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, and New Hampshire all require telehealth psychiatric care to meet the same standard as in-person visits. You get a comprehensive evaluation, ongoing medication management, and supportive therapy through HIPAA-compliant secure video — without the drive, the waiting room, or the wasted PTO.
