Welcome to Excel Psychiatric Associates, P.A.
We are so glad you have found us!
What We Do
We are mental health specialists who provide mental health care in a holistic way. This means we provide traditional psychiatric care, like diagnostic evaluations and medication management services, but we don’t stop there! We pride ourselves on viewing and caring for you as a complete person.
At Excel Psychiatric Associates, we:
Offer appointment slots that are longer than the industry standard so we can take time to listen to you and your unique life story.
Educate you so you really understand your care and become a true partner in your mental-health care journey.
Discuss various lifestyle changes and improvement strategies, different therapy types and modalities, and available medication options.
Work together as a team to come up with a treatment plan that best fits you.
Who We Are
Our providers:
Craig Chepke, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist, has been named a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and speaks regularly at national psychiatry conventions and events.
Timothy Balisky is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental-Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in ADHD and Treatment-Resistant Depression and Anxiety.
Tiffany Chepke is a Health Coach and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices. She is nationally board-certified for health and wellness coaching (NBHWC) and has a master’s degree in Social Work and a graduate certificate in Gerontology.
We actively stay up-to-date with cutting edge research. Because we are well versed in the entire spectrum of mental health medications, we know how and when to incorporate in the newest medications and when to use the tried-and-true classic options.
What About Cost?
We are an out-of-network provider. This means we have stepped outside of the typical insurance payment model so that we can focus first on meeting your needs, rather than working within the limitations of the insurance system. As an out-of-network practice, we are not restricted to short appointment slots, limited to a maximum number of yearly visits, nor are we confined to a short list of insurance approved medications. Instead we have the freedom to set optimal appointment lengths, have and increased frequency of visits, and choose from the entire list of treatment options selecting the one that will best serve you. In order to maintain this person-first focus, we cannot take payment directly from insurance, BUT as a complementary service to you we are able to help you submit paperwork that will enable you to receive reimbursement from your insurance company.

-
Post-Partum Depression, Major Depressive Disorder and Treatment Resistant Depression
-
ADHD evaluation and treatment for adolescents through adults
-
Neurodegenerative Diseases and Medication-Induced Movement Disorders
-
Schizophrenia and other Psychotic Disorders

“Dr. Chepke is the most caring, knowledgeable doctor I have ever met. My stepson and I have seen him jointly for almost three years now. My stepson has seen many doctors in his 28 years and Dr. Chepke is his favorite. His office used to be two minutes from our house. After he moved, the ride to get my stepson picked up and to his office takes about an hour and a half, but we love Dr. Chepke and it’s well worth the effort to get there. We’re so blessed to have found him!”

Life can be very challenging, but you don't have to tackle those challenges on your own.
At Excel Psychiatric Associates, P.A., we offer consultations to discuss your concerns and create a treatment method that works best for you. Here you are the driver for your care and treatment. Our goal in your initial consultation visit is to get to know you, take a look at your history, and determine a plan of action to improve your quality of life. In some cases, we'll schedule a follow-up appointment to go over your medication options.
