LaShondra Kale, PMHNP-BC, founder of Renewed Hope and Wellness

Care that meets you where you are

Start with a real conversation, without planning your day around a drive.

When anxiety, low mood, sleep changes, or another concern keeps taking up too much space, finding the right support can feel like one more hard task. A virtual psychiatric appointment creates a private place to talk through what has been happening, ask questions without being rushed, and decide what support may fit.

Renewed Hope and Wellness offers secure video appointments for teens age 13 and older and adults throughout Tennessee. You meet with LaShondra Kale, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, from a private location in Tennessee that feels comfortable to you. The screen changes the setting, not the attention you receive.

When a visit may help

You do not need all the answers before you ask for support.

An evaluation can be a useful first step when the usual ways of coping are no longer enough, when a treatment plan needs another look, or when you simply want a clearer sense of what to do next.

Daily life feels harder than it used to

Anxiety, panic, depression, mood changes, sleep problems, and major transitions can affect work, school, relationships, and routines. A visit makes room to look at that whole picture.

You want to revisit medication thoughtfully

If a medication has not helped, has caused side effects, or no longer seems to fit, follow-up care can help you weigh options carefully instead of trying to figure it out alone.

You value continuity with one clinician

Every appointment is with LaShondra. Building care with one clinician can make it easier to bring up changes, ask direct questions, and make decisions that reflect your goals.

How virtual care works

A simple path from first question to next step.

01Request your appointmentChoose a time through the secure scheduling portal, or call or text the practice if you would like to talk through the next step first.
02Complete your intake informationForms are completed before the appointment, allowing more of your visit to focus on the concerns that brought you in.
03Join from a private place in TennesseeUse a phone, tablet, or computer with a dependable internet connection. You must be physically located in Tennessee at the time of the visit.
04Leave with a clearer planYou will talk through options such as follow-up care, therapy, medication discussion, or another resource that better fits your needs.

Thoughtful care, not quick assumptions

Your symptoms matter, and so does the context around them.

A psychiatric evaluation is not just a checklist. It is a conversation about what has changed, what has helped before, what has felt discouraging, and what you want to be different. LaShondra takes time to understand your health history, previous treatment, medications, stressors, and priorities before recommending a next step.

Her background includes more than 13 years in nursing across long-term care, NICU, home health, school nursing, and psychiatric settings. That experience supports a collaborative approach that makes room for the details of your life, not only a symptom label.

Care may include therapy-informed support, practical strategies, medication discussion, or a referral when another kind of care is the better fit. Renewed Hope and Wellness focuses on non-controlled medication options. Controlled medications, including stimulants and benzodiazepines, are not prescribed. Being clear about that boundary before you book helps you choose care with confidence.

Before your first appointment

A little preparation can make more room for what matters.

Choose a private, quiet spot in Tennessee with a dependable internet connection. If possible, have a photo ID, current medication list, and notes about past treatment nearby. It can also help to write down a few changes you have noticed, questions you want to ask, or goals you would like to work toward.

You do not need to assemble a perfect history before you schedule. Many people reach out because they are not sure what kind of support they need. That uncertainty is a good reason to start a conversation, not a reason to put it off.

If you have worked with a therapist, primary-care provider, or another prescriber, you can make a note of what has felt helpful and what has not. This context can make it easier to decide what to explore together, but it is never a requirement for your first visit.

Coverage varies by plan. Call or text 737-234-6591 if you would like to ask about current options before scheduling. Private-pay pricing is also available to review before you book.

A respectful next step

Care can be personal, even when it is virtual.

Some people book because they have felt unlike themselves for a while. Others want a new perspective after a treatment plan has not felt effective. You may have one specific question about medication, or you may simply know that something deserves more attention. All of those are valid reasons to reach out.

A virtual visit can be especially practical when work, caregiving, school, distance, or a full schedule would otherwise delay care. It also lets you choose a setting where you can speak more freely. Headphones, a parked car in a safe location, or another private place may help if privacy at home is difficult.

You remain actively involved in decisions about your care. The goal is not to rush toward a label or a single answer. It is to understand what is happening in context, discuss realistic options, and build a plan you can carry into everyday life.

Renewed Hope and Wellness is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger or having a mental health emergency, call or text 988, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room. For ongoing concerns that deserve a thoughtful plan, an online appointment can be a place to begin.
