Mental Health Care

Licensed in Tennessee and Virginia • Serving Kingsport & Nearby Communities

At Open Minds, we make mental health insurance simple. We guide you through your benefits, explain costs, and answer your questions. That way, you can focus on feeling better instead of worrying about the insurance side of things.

In order to help with what insurance doesn’t cover we offer flexible monthly payment plans and accept CareCredit to allow you to make monthly payments on your care.

CARE CREDIT

CareCredit is different from a regular credit card.

Use it to pay for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by medical insurance, and special financing options are available that you may not be able to get with other cards.

Pay for health, and wellness care at over 225,000 enrolled providers across the nation. Once you’ve applied, you can use it again and again at any location that accepts CareCredit.

How Insurance Works for Mental Health Care

Insurance can feel confusing, but we simplify it. Before your first appointment, we:

  • Verify your insurance benefits
  • Explain expected costs
  • Make sure your plan covers the services you need

Most plans cover therapy, psychiatry, TMS, Spravato®, ADHD care, trauma treatment, and medication management. We’ll guide you no matter your plan type—commercial, Medicare, or self-pay.

Amy Probst is the best counselor and mental health professional that I have encountered after many years of VA care. One can quickly tell that she does this work because it is her calling, not just a "job". I feel fortunate to have met her.

Dr. James Reasor has been phenomenal from day one of being in his care. Every visit with him is such a huge help to my day to day life. He has me on the right medications and always goes above and beyond. He truly cares for his patients. My favorite thing about him is he always incorporates the Bible and scripture into our sessions. And ALWAYS ends our sessions with prayer. For me, that means a lot. I am firm in my faith and belief in Christ. I am very thankful to be under his care. I do not think the Lord could have sent me to anyone better.

I cannot begin to explain how much Ms. Amy has helped me. She is the kindest, most compassionate person I have met. She genuinely listens when you speak, remembers what you tell her, ensures you feel comfortable speaking with her and carries the most calming, reassuring presence. She gives you actual tools you to implement and takes time to teach you how to appropriately use said tools. She truly makes you feel cared for and you can tell she is sincere and authentic. I don’t know what I would have done without her during this transition period in my life. I would recommend her to anyone. I can’t say enough for the care and guidance she provides. I’ll always be so thankful for her support and guidance.

Absolutely the best! As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by friendly staff who make you feel welcomed . The doctor l saw was fantastic. They don't rush you through your appointment; they listen attentively and make you feel valued, seen and heard. They see you as an individual, not just a source of revenue. In my opinion, that's the most important aspect of seeking mental health help. I would highly recommend this place,
