When Dr. Ashley Tippins got a 90-day layoff notice, she was a single parent facing a nearly two-hour commute each way—and serving a community where patients waited months for psychiatric care, often driving all the way to Montgomery.

So she did something brave and finally opened the practice she’d dreamed of for years: Remedy Psychiatry & Counseling.

The biggest hurdle? Alabama requires NPs to have a collaborating physician, and Ashley had always heard it would cost a fortune. At CollabDocs, we're dedicated to supporting the people and organizations closing gaps in mental health access. Our team helped her sort the paperwork, expand her collaboration agreement, and get set up, so she could focus on patients. In fact, she saw her very first patient before her website was even live—someone just days away from running out of their medication.

Today, Remedy is thriving, with evening and telehealth appointments and local care that simply didn’t exist before.

At CollabDocs, we're dedicated to supporting the people and organizations closing gaps in mental health access. This Mental Illness Awareness Week, we’re spotlighting a part of women’s mental health that too often goes unseen. 💜

About 1 in 8 women experience symptoms of postpartum depression, and countless more move through perimenopause being told their anxiety or low mood is “just stress.” Too often, they reach out for help and can’t find anyone able to treat them.

Our own Amber Ensley, DNP, CNM, PMHNP-BC, MSCP, wrote an honest, deeply human piece for Nurse.org about why women’s hormonal health and mental health belong in the same conversation—and why nurse practitioners are well placed to notice and listen.

Missed our last webinar? Good news, you can catch it anytime now! “Beyond the Agreement: What Meaningful Physician Collaboration Really Looks Like” is available on demand.

This is your chance to hear from two experienced physicians who’ve partnered with NPs and PAs across a range of specialties and practice settings. They dive into the difference between a partnership and a transaction, how trust and communication hold a collaboration together, and the pitfalls that quietly derail otherwise good matches.

Watch it now: https://dx71q.share.hsforms.com/2xV94Y4OtSpGfc3zTSE5qjw?__hstc=96685760.2e543db6d90d17f3fd7ac2cb3fd0c0b7.1784116643955.1788550912462.1788876775600.33&__hssc=96685760.3.1788876775600&__hsfp=59184d1715b9486e601e352a90dfb3f9

We love hearing feedback like this from our customers. 💜

LaShea Shaw, PMHNP-BC, has been building her practice, Mental Health Matters, as an independent contractor across four different states. That’s no small feat, and it takes the right behind-the-scenes support to make it work.

Here’s what she shared about her experience with CollabDocs:

“As a PMHNP-BC practicing as an independent contractor across four states, finding the right collaborating physician support was essential. Since becoming a CollabDocs customer in June 2026, I’ve been consistently impressed with their support. Their team checks in with me regularly, and I always feel supported and well taken care of. I have no complaints. CollabDocs is doing a great job, and I’d recommend them to any NP or PA looking for a reliable collaborating physician partner.”

Congratulations on everything you’re building, LaShea! We’re so glad to be part of your team.

We often hear from new NPs and PAs that they’re unsatisfied with their current or prior collaborating physician relationship because, while a relationship can be fully compliant on a checklist, it doesn’t reach the full potential of the real, working partnership they envisioned.

Our Director of Growth Initiatives, Tavi Schlueter, tackled that gap in a new piece for Nurse.org with seven vital questions to ask before signing with a collaborating physician.

Give the full article a read and let us know: what's a question you wish you'd asked before signing your first agreement?

What makes a great NP? According to our Director of Growth Initiatives, Tavi Schlueter, it comes down to two things that are often framed as opposites but shouldn’t be: autonomy and collaboration.

We’re proud to see Tavi featured by Nurse.com talking about why strong collaborative relationships between NPs and physicians matter. As she puts it, knowing when to bring in another perspective isn’t a failure of autonomy — it’s part of clinical maturity.
