Who We Are
At LiveWell Psychiatry, every experience is designed with intention. Creating a supportive environment with structured care, meaningful conversation, and a focus on mental well-being.
Dr. Ragnar Scott
Founder at LiveWell
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 intentionally small 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.
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.
While we're mostly self-pay to stay focused on the patient, not the paperwork, we do take limited insurance when it makes sense. 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.
Fully independent. Fully patient-centered. No corporate noise. No insurance hoops.
We all deserve care that… cares. That’s what you’ll find here. A team of healthcare nerds that just gives a damn.
So… welcome! We’re stoked you’ll be joining us.

Founder
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 it is, we get into it.
We cover the whole range: ADHD, anxiety, hormones, weight, sex drive, energy, all the stuff nobody really feels comfortable talking about at their typical doctor visit. And yeah, we use meds that work, like Ozempic, testosterone, and the little blue pills too (so things are only hard when you want them to be).
LiveWell is about pulling all of it together so you actually feel good waking up in your own skin. Not perfect, not chasing some fake finish line, just taking back control and writing your own life story, one page at a time.
We’re glad you’re with us.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
Kelly is the clinician you want in your corner when the world gets loud. She spent years in the toughest psych units from New Hampshire to Washington and never flinched. That veteran experience is now anchored by a firm faith-based foundation and an unshakable calm. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, she treats her work as a calling rather than a checklist.
She joined forces with Ragnar in Tacoma because they both value high standards and authentic connection. Kelly rejects scripts and autopilot in favor of thoughtful intervention. She listens with intent because she knows your story is the key to your healing. She brings a rare blend of clinical clarity and massive heart to our team.

Psychiatric NP
Johnny may have eyes that wander, but his treatment plans never do. Straightforward, honest, and a little quirky, Johnny brings both sharp clinical skills and a sense of humor to the team.

Chief Snack Officer
Buddy is out here living his absolute best life as our Therapy Hound and Chief Snack Officer. This German Shorthair has a knack for sniffing out both comfort and mischief, taking his duties very seriously... particularly when snacks are in play. He's all about spreading good vibes (and scavenging for treats).
When there are treats, he's your guy. Without them? You better believe he's hinting for you to fetch some. His philosophy? "No treat, no meet!"
Whether he's in charge of snack handouts or just lending an ear (or a paw), Buddy's here to make your day brighter (and to secretly increase his snack stockpile).

Marketing Coordinator
Jam brings a creative spark to LiveWell, blending strategy and heart in everything she does. She helps share LiveWell’s story through meaningful content, thoughtful campaigns, and moments that remind people they’re not alone in their wellness journey.
With a love for simple, genuine connection, Jam believes good stories make care feel closer and conversations feel lighter. When she’s not working on new ideas, she enjoys slow mornings, good playlists, and meaningful conversations.

Manager / Clinical Coordinator
Tuyet is the heartbeat of this place, and honestly, the reason everything runs smoothly. She started her career making people feel they have seen one manicure at a time, and now she’s doing the same thing in healthcare, just with a whole new skill set. With degrees from Lipscomb and South College, she brings both brains and heart to everything she touches.
She’s got a sixth sense for what people need, whether it’s a dose of calm, a good laugh, or help sorting out their meds and appointments without losing their minds. Tuyet’s the kind of person who can juggle ten things, make it look easy, and still remember how you like your coffee.
Outside the clinic? She’s probably halfway across the globe. Korea, France, China, Switzerland; her passport’s busier than most of us are. But no matter where she is, when she’s here, she shows up, fully present, ridiculously organized, and always down to make things better for the people around her.
Big or small, she nails it. Every time.

Office Manager
Gwen is the cheerful heartbeat of LiveWell! As Office Manager, she keeps everything running smoothly, from scheduling and billing to making sure every client feels right at home. Known for her warm smile and upbeat energy, Gwen brings positivity into every interaction. When she’s not keeping the office on track, you’ll likely find her spending time with her pets, enjoying the sunshine, or exploring the great outdoors.
Her love for people, animals, and nature shines through in everything she does, making LiveWell an even brighter place to be.
