The team behind LiveWell
Care that, you know,
actually cares.
Behind LiveWell
Care should feel human, not clinical.
At LiveWell Psychiatry, the room matters. It should feel calm, private, and human, but the visit still has to be useful.
I don't answer to a corporate parent or a board of investors, which mostly means nobody upstairs is pushing me to keep your visits short or sell you the thing with the better margin.
Built for people, not paperwork
Care should feel human, not clinical.
LiveWell started with a pretty simple idea, founded by Ragnar Scott, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who wasn't building this for insurance companies or giant systems. It was built for people. Whether you're 15 or 55, you deserve care that actually helps, from people who actually listen. Kept small on purpose, so it never feels like you're just a chart in a stack.

Built for people, not paperwork
LiveWell started with a pretty simple idea: care should feel human, not clinical. Founded by Ragnar Scott, a psychiatric nurse practitioner who's been through his own share of life's highs and lows, LiveWell wasn't built for insurance companies or giant systems. It was built for people. Whether you're 15 or 55, you deserve care that actually helps, from people who actually listen.
We keep the team small on purpose so it never feels like you're just a chart. Patients get to know their providers, and their providers get to know them; not just their symptoms, but their story. You'll know us, we'll know you, and that connection is the point.
How we're set up

Who we keep a soft spot for
We've got a soft spot for first responders, healthcare workers, veterans, and college students trying to figure themselves out, and generally just all the folks out there who are carrying more than they're given credit for. We get that.
We take most major insurance these days, so you can actually put your benefits to work instead of paying full freight for every visit. Availability is limited, but we're not trying to treat the masses. We're here to do honest, real care that makes a difference, one person at a time.
The founder
- Ragnar ScottDNP, PMHNP-BC. A psychiatric nurse practitioner, and a doctor by way of the DNP.
- No big doc energyDown to earth and real, no nonsense, no hoops, just real conversations with real people.
- Why LiveWell existsHe couldn't find anywhere that kept care direct and simple, so he started it.
A word from Ragnar
Around here, we don't do BDE (big doc energy). We like to keep things down to earth and real. No nonsense, no jumping through hoops, no stiff medical vibe… just real conversations with real people. We couldn't find anywhere that kept care direct and simple, so we 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's going on, we get into it.
LiveWell is about pulling all of it together so you actually feel like yourself again. Not perfect, not magically fixed, just more in control of your own day.
