LiveWell, with us.

PNW Wellness - in person and online

Whether you’re just starting to explore support options, switching to a new provider, or looking to boost your well-being, you’re in the right place. At LiveWell, we focus on blending care with connection—taking your mental health seriously while keeping things real and approachable. Life can get messy, but with the right team in your corner, it’s a lot easier to handle. We’ll work together to lift you up, lean into your strengths, and turn your day into a win.

Make every day a great one.

You’re more than your symptoms.

At LiveWell, we don’t follow some cookie-cutter playbook. Healing isn’t always pretty… it gets messy, personal, and sometimes uncomfortable. We work with people figuring it out as they go—from college students questioning everything to adults dragging around stuff they were never meant to carry this long. Treatment with us isn’t just nodding along and circling symptoms. It’s real talk, real strategies, and actually doing the work to feel different. In person or on screen, we show up with you, no pretending, no sugarcoating. Whatever path you’re on, we’ll help you find your footing and keep moving forward. The journey starts here.

You’re a
work in progress.

A Holistic Path to Mental Wellness

We’re not here to hand you a checklist and send you on your way. We take a layered approach—some clinical, some creative—all rooted in what actually helps. We’re not chasing trends or slapping Band-Aids on bullet holes. We’re here to ask better questions, dig deeper, and get curious about what’s really fueling the stuckness.

We’re nerdy about research, picky about what we offer, and not afraid to say, “Hey, that one’s not in our toolbox—but we know someone who’s got it.” No egos, no pretending. Just real people helping other real people get unstuck. It’s not flashy, but it’s honest—and that’s what makes it stick.

We’re here to help you with...

Integrative Medicine, Wellness, and Men’s Health

You’re in the Driver’s Seat

This may not always be smooth sailing, but you won’t be doing it alone. We’ll walk you through the options, explain what we’re thinking, and make sure you’re part of the planing—because at the end of the day, it’s your body, your life, and your decision.

We bring the clinical knowledge, you bring your lived experience. That’s how this works. Got questions about meds? Curious about something you read online? Bring it.

If it makes sense, we’ll explore it. If it’s not in our lane, we’ll point you to someone who can help.

We’re here to collaborate, not dictate.

What are patients saying ?

-Henry, 22

"I thought opening up would feel like pulling teeth, but it was way more natural than I expected. Ragnar’s approach is just different. He listens like he actually cares, not like he’s just waiting to tick off boxes on a chart. I could say what I needed to say without feeling like a mess."
- Chris, 34

“I dragged my feet for way too long before finally booking an appointment. Just felt weird, you know? But once we sat down, the pressure eased off. It didn’t feel like there was any judgment or awkwardness, and it was just a good honest conversation. He got where I was coming from without me having to explain every little thing. Honestly wish I’d done it sooner."
- Steven, 28

"Honestly, I thought I was gonna be all awkward and not know what to say, but it wasn’t like that at all. They made it pretty easy and actually pay attention, you know? Like, I didn’t feel rushed or judged or anything. I could just talk, and you can tell they actually care."
- Meghan, 23

“I was really hesitant to talk about my issues at first. It’s not exactly easy to open up about stuff like that. But from day one, I felt comfortable and not judged at all. Ragnar treated me like a person, not just some guy with a problem. The whole experience was super professional but also relaxed, like talking to a friend who can actually help. I’m glad I reached out.”
- Eddie, 42

  • Founder

    Hey, I’m Ragnar. Around here, we don’t do BDE—big doctor energy—we like to keep it real. No nonsense, no stiff hospital vibe… just real conversations with real people. I couldn’t find anywhere that really approached healthcare that way, and that’s why I started LiveWell.

    Most people who come to us are dealing with way more than one thing. It’s the brain fog, the burnout, the anxiety creeping in when you’re already maxed out. Maybe your focus is shot, your mood’s all over the place, your hormones feel like they’re plotting against you, or you’re just tired of looking in the mirror and feeling like a stranger. Whatever it is, we get into it.

    We cover the whole range—ADHD, anxiety, hormones, weight, sex drive, energy, all the stuff nobody really feels comfortable to talk about at their typical doctor visit. And yeah, we use meds that work, like Ozempic, testosterone, and the little blue pills too, so things are only hard when you want them to be.

    LiveWell is about pulling all of it together so you actually feel good waking up in your own skin. Not perfect, not chasing some fake finish line—just taking back control, and writing your own life story, one page at a time.

  • PMHNP Clinical Precept

    Kelly’s the kind of psych nurse you want in your corner when stuff hits the fan. She’s been everywhere—literally. From New Hampshire to Washington, her travel nursing resume reads like a road map of psych units, and she’s handled it all without flinching. She’s got that unshakable calm that makes the rest of us feel like we accidentally walked into a wellness retreat instead of a clinic.

    She and Ragnar crossed paths during an assignment in Tacoma, and between the shared dark humor and obsession with solid patient care, the partnership just clicked. Kelly shows up for people in a way that feels personal—no scripts, no autopilot. She listens like your story matters (because it does) and helps map out care that fits your life, not just your chart.

    Right now, she’s finishing her training as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with us—it’s basically the NP version of residency. We’re lucky as hell to have her. Kelly brings depth, clarity, and a ridiculous amount of heart to the team.

  • Clinical Coordinator

    Tuyet’s the heartbeat of this place—and honestly, the reason anything runs smoothly. She started her career making people feel seen one manicure at a time, and now she’s doing the same thing in healthcare, just with a whole new skill set. With degrees from Lipscomb and South College, she brings both brains and heart to everything she touches.

    She’s got a sixth sense for what people need—whether it’s a dose of calm, a good laugh, or help sorting out their meds and appointments without losing their minds. Tuyet’s the kind of person who can juggle ten things, make it look easy, and still remember how you like your coffee.

    Outside the clinic? She’s probably halfway across the globe. Korea, France, China, Switzerland—her passport’s busier than most of us are. But no matter where she is, when she’s here, she shows up—fully present, ridiculously organized, and always down to make things better for the people around her.

    Big or small, she nails it. Every time.

  • Chief Snack Officer

    Buddy is out here living his absolute best life as our Therapy Hound and Chief Snack Officer. This German Shorthair has a knack for sniffing out both comfort and mischief, taking his duties very seriously... particularly when snacks are in play. He's all about spreading good vibes (and scavenging for treats).

    When there are treats, he's your guy. Without them? You better believe he's hinting for you to fetch some. His philosophy? "No treat, no meet!"

    Whether he's in charge of snack handouts or just lending an ear (or a paw), Buddy's here to make your day brighter (and to secretly increase his snack stockpile).

The Fine Print…

  • We keep a card on file, and unless we’ve worked out something different, we’ll run the charge before your appointment.

    Not feeling the card option? No problem — you can pay through Venmo or CashApp too.

    Heads up though, we actually prefer Zelle or Bitcoin. If you go with Zelle, you’ll get a 5 percent discount, and if you’re into crypto, paying with BTC knocks 10 percent off your total.

  • We’re mostly a self-pay practice, which means we don’t usually bill insurance directly — that includes Medicare and Medicaid.

    Yeah, it’s a bit annoying, but honestly, it’s how we keep things simple and stay fully focused on you instead of getting buried in insurance nonsense and endless red tape.

    That said, a lot of insurance plans will still cover around 60 to 80 percent of your visit. We’ll send you a Superbill (basically a detailed receipt) so you can submit it to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

    If you’re not sure what they’ll cover, just give your insurance a quick call and ask about your out of network benefits — they’ll tell you exactly what’s what.

  • Now, here’s the good news. We do take insurance for some patients. We’re in-network with:

    • Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield

    • UnitedHealthcare

    • Oscar/Optum/Oxford

    • Cigna

    • Aetna

    • Carelon Behavioral Health

    • Quest Behavioral Health

    But heads up — not all of our providers are in these networks, and spots are limited. So if you want to lock in a spot with insurance, just call or email us to check availability.

  • We keep things simple here — pay at the time of your visit, no surprises.

    Staying fee-for-service keeps it private, flexible, and honestly— it lets us focus on you without insurance companies breathing down our necks about how long we can spend with you or how often you come in.

    Here’s what our self-pay rates look like:

    • Initial Psychiatric Evaluation: $325 to $450

    • Follow Ups: $100 to $200

    • Refill Only: $50

    We always keep a full, up to date fee schedule in your new patient welcome packet, and if anything changes, you’ll hear it straight from us first.

    We hate surprise bills just as much as you do.

  • Choosing LiveWell as your out of network provider means you’re in control, not the insurance companies. We build your treatment plan around you — no random rules, no insurance company limits. You can see us as often or as little as you need, no third party calling the shots.

    And when it comes to privacy, you’re covered. We only share info with your insurance if you’re going after reimbursement, and even then, just the basics they ask for.

    Bottom line? This setup keeps the focus where it should be: on helping you hit your goals without the headaches, restrictions, or red tape that usually come with insurance.

  • If you cancel or reschedule with less than 48 hours notice, we’ll have to charge the full appointment fee to the card we’ve got on file. We get that life happens, but short notice makes it tough to fill the spot.

    Thanks for understanding!

  • At LiveWell, we’re all about helping future clinicians get real world experience. We work with Nurse Practitioner, Medical, and Physician Assistant students to give them hands-on learning that actually prepares them for practice.

    These students always work under the close supervision of our providers, and every treatment decision is a team effort between the student and the supervising clinician.

    You might see students joining our sessions, whether we’re meeting over telehealth or in person. It’s part of how we help train the next wave of providers — because let’s be real, the healthcare system is stretched thin, and building up the next generation matters.

    Participation in the teaching program is part of working with us, and while it’s your choice, we may not be able to continue care if you choose not to have students involved.

  • Getting a psych eval with us doesn’t automatically mean you’ll become a patient here. Sometimes, we might feel like you’d be better off with a higher level of care than we can give — and if that’s the case, we’ll make sure to connect you with programs that are a better fit.

    If we think we’re a good match, we’ll lay out some recommendations for your treatment. But honestly, if you’re not on board with the plan, that’s okay too. You should be working with a provider whose approach feels right for you. No hard feelings if that’s not us.

    We do have some basic expectations though. We expect you to show up for appointments, answer our calls or messages, pay your bills on time, and take your meds as prescribed.

    If things aren’t working out and we need to part ways, don’t stress — we’ll make sure you’ve got enough medication refills (usually about a month’s worth) to give you time to find a new provider.

  • We take your privacy seriously, no question about it. We stick to all the HIPAA rules to keep your health info locked down and secure.

    Everything from your records to your appointments is handled through HIPAA-compliant systems, so whether we’re scheduling, messaging, or sharing documents, your info stays protected.

    Basically, your details stay between us, just like it should be.

  • We offer an optional program for those looking for that added level of attention, personalized care, and immediate access to their provider.

    A concierge membership gets you all of that. We’re talking more visits, check-ins between appointments, a direct line for calls and texts, and just extra support all-around.

    Members get same-day appointments, fast help with refills, and a bunch of other perks that make care feel as smooth as possible.

    We keep spots very limited for concierge members… so we can actually give that extra attention.

    There’s a flat monthly fee that covers all your services — no surprises, just easier care.
