About Premier Psychiatric Services, LLC

Since 2012, Premier Psychiatric Services LLC has been helping others reclaim balance.
Our goal is for all of our clients to live life to the fullest while taking the least amount of medication possible. 
We are private-pay, no-insurance-accepted so that we can spend more time pursuing our passion: longer visits for specialty care, including confidential clinical services for first responders and licensed healthcare professionals. For more about what we have to offer, see our team profiles below.

In addition, Dr Parsons also accepts lay-individuals by therapist-referral only, and on a case-by-case basis.  If you are in an established, committed, therapy relationship, your therapist can call the office at 225-810-3836 or visit the "For Our Colleagues" page to initiate the referral and to discuss how it may enhance your therapy process. Options include second-opinion evaluations (usually 3 visits, no treatment provided, with a written report); long-term, regularly scheduled medication management; or shorter-term care for deprescribing, when indicated.
