Seeds Of Healing Psychiatry, PLLC
Earl Nightingale quoted “Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality”.
MISSION STATEMENT
The beginning of any healing process starts with the first thoughts we hold about what this path may look like. My intention is to be a positive support in my patients’ lives as they work towards healing and rooting themselves firmly on a positive pathway of growth through healing and dealing with mental illness. Every life matters, and everyone deserves to be given the opportunities to lead the best life they can, with support and nurturing and without judgment.
Let’s plant that first seed together so you may start your path to a stronger, more firmly rooted person, branching out and participating the way you want to in life.
Get to Know Me
Planting seeds of change one patient at a time.
My name is Irene A. Flynn-Lombardi, I graduated with a master's degree in nursing in December 2022 from Regis College. I completed the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program, and all my clinical training hours were completed here in Connecticut. My parents immigrated to the United States from Ireland and raised me to respect people from all walks of life, and this is a teaching and characteristic I hold close to my soul. I believe everyone deserves the chance to live the best life they can to the best of their abilities. My hope is to be of support to my patients as they strive for their best life.
My Services
I provide 30-minute sessions for medication management for the treatment of mental health disorders.
Initial Evaluation
Our first meeting will take approximately 60 minutes. During this time, I will be listening to you and learning your life story. I will also complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, this allows me to have an informed discussion with you about your issues and what brings you here. Combining this information will help me identify your needs and outline possible treatment recommendations for you.
At your initial visit, I will need the following items: A photo ID and Completed New Patient Intake Forms.
Medication Management
During this initial visit, if it is determined that medication may help relieve your distress, various options may be discussed. My goals are to remain conservative and judicious in my use of medications. I am committed to educating you about your treatment options and addressing all your concerns regarding your mental health. I want to ensure that all my patients understand the purpose and expected benefits of their medication, as well as potential risks.
Currently, I am not providing telehealth psychiatric visits. This option will be available in the future for established patients. I believe in-person visits are most beneficial, offering the greatest advantage of the valuable time we will share together.

Financial Policy
Credit Card on File
All patients are asked to leave an updated credit card on file to be used for co-pays and billing. AT NO TIME will your card be accessed without being made aware of via email and text.
When you are seen, you may also choose to pay your co-pay in person via cash or a card other than the one on file.
High Deductible Plans
If your insurance plan is considered high deductable, it is best to let these bills go to the insurance as they go towards your deductible. We will also charge your card a $100.00 copay, applied towards your bill, each time. This also ensures a portion of your bill is paid for.
Patients Responsibility of Attendance and Cancellation
Your personal time is of great value to you, and your appointment times should be too. Your appointment time is of great value in the management of your mental well-being. Life can often throw obstacles into our paths leaving us unable to attend to the important schedules of our lives. When this happens, please reach out and let the office know so we can either reschedule your appointment or come up with a plan that will be beneficial to you. Your appointments are your responsibility and not adhering to them can have an impact on your mental health and you’re standing in this office as a patient.
Attendance to your appointments is your choice, however, it is encouraged you attend all scheduled appointments to maintain consistency in treatments. If you are prescribed medication from this practice, many insurance companies require consistent attendance and follow-up assessments, as does this practice.
There is a 24 hour expectation for cancelling. If you cancel less than 24 hrs before your appointment, or do not show up for your appointment, there is a $100.00 charge.
