Living with bipolar disorder, ADHD, depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges can affect nearly every part of your life. Finding someone who listens, understands your concerns, and helps you navigate treatment can make a meaningful difference.
I'm Patrick Fahey, a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. My primary focus is psychiatric evaluation and medication management, with particular experience and confidence in treating bipolar disorder. I also frequently work with patients experiencing ADHD, depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and other mental health concerns.
I understand that finding the right medication or treatment plan isn't always straightforward. My goal is to help you understand your options, feel comfortable asking questions, and participate in decisions about your care.
Mental health treatment should be collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to the individual. Whether you're seeking treatment for the first time, struggling with symptoms despite previous treatment, or looking for ongoing medication management, I want you to feel heard, respected, and supported.
You don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I'm here to work alongside you as we identify practical steps toward greater stability, improved functioning, and a better quality of life.

Hi there, I am Georgina. I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 40 years in healthcare overall. My career has taken me through nephrology, home health, and nurse education, and each chapter has deepened my respect for the whole person behind every diagnosis. I am known for warm, holistic care that honors your body, mind, and spirit.
Outside of work I love to give back through volunteering and service, and while my faith is an important part of who I am, I never push it and only bring it into our work together if you ask.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Summerville
Finding psychiatrists in Summerville starts with understanding the type of care you want to access. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship stress, or life transitions. Medication management often includes an initial evaluation, follow-up visits, and ongoing conversations about how your care plan fits your needs.
In a smaller city like Summerville, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in nearby Charleston or across broader mental health South Carolina searches. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in South Carolina. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer medication management, therapy, or both. Reading bios can help you understand each psychiatrist’s focus, communication style, and experience with concerns that match what you’re looking for.
Psychiatric care in Summerville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
