Care in Evansville
Real psychiatry, without the local waitlist
The pocket city carries pocket city pressure: plants and hospitals running around the clock, river industry schedules, and a regional psychiatric supply so thin that people quietly drive hours or simply give up. Southwestern Indiana deserves care that does not require either.
shrinkMD reaches every corner of the Indiana side within days: Evansville proper, Newburgh, Princeton, and the rural counties, by video that runs fine on modest connections with phone backup when it does not.
The care is the full shrinkMD standard: hour long evaluations, measured follow up with one clinician, honest no controlled substance prescribing, same day prescriptions locally, and nothing billed to any insurer, ever.

Do you prescribe controlled medication in Evansville?
No. shrinkMD does not prescribe controlled substances anywhere, including stimulants and benzodiazepines. We are upfront about this and effective with the evidence based alternatives.
How fast can I be seen in Evansville?
Usually as clinician availability allows, compared to the months long waits common locally. Early treatment is easier treatment.
Will I see the same clinician each time?
Yes. Continuity is a core standard: one clinician who knows your history, your scores, and your goals, visit after visit.
What number do I call in Evansville for a mental health emergency?
Call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911. shrinkMD is an outpatient practice, not an emergency service, and we want you safe first.
Does insurance cover telepsychiatry in Evansville?
We do not bill insurance. You pay a transparent flat fee per visit, HSA and FSA funds work, and we provide superbills you may submit for possible out of network reimbursement.
Where do appointments take place?
Wherever you have privacy and a connection: home, an office, or a parked car. There is no clinic to drive to and no waiting room.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. Book directly, and with your permission we coordinate with your primary care clinician afterward.
We are an hour from Evansville in a small town. Is this really available to us?
Especially to you, anywhere in Indiana. The drive has been the barrier, and video deletes it; the appointment at your kitchen table is identical to one in the city.
Can plant and hospital shifts fit appointments?
Yes, around the clock schedules are normal here, with post shift and evening slots and short measured follow ups that fit a break.
