Mental Health Services
Cannabis has been shown to help the psychological suffering caused by ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, burnout, stress, and other mental health issues due to the calming effects of THC and CBD, but when it isn’t enough, our providers can prescribe supporting medicines to help make life brighter.
Treatment plans for your specific situation
Stress, Anxiety, and Worry
Constant or intense feelings of apprehension about daily events.
Overall burnout
Exhaustion, feeling disconnected, irritable, or a lack of fulfillment.
Career or Financial Stress
Ongoing fatigue, reduced drive, or a sense of feeling trapped.
Lack of Motivation
Feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, or unenthusiastic.

Medically Supervised
Your journey to reach your mental health goals begins with a personalized treatment plan from our healthcare provider. We address your medical history, mental health challenges, medical conditions, and current medications to create a supportive program that works for you.

We Start With Cannabis
Our provider qualifies you for a medical marijuana card based on your qualifying conditions. This also helps with stress and sleep issues that may make it more difficult for traditional medications to be fully effective at lower dosages.

Add Supporting Medicines
When you need an extra boost to face the challenges of daily life, medication can be a helpful part of your treatment plan. Your mental health challenges are unique to you, so our healthcare provider will prescribe FDA-approved medications and then work with you to monitor your progress.
Is it hard for you to feel happy?
Our program takes a uniquely holistic approach to mental health, to help you to feel like yourself again. First, we reduce your body’s chronic stress response through cannabis, as an additional benefit to treatment of your primary qualifying condition. Then second, we prescribe FDA-approved medications for your specific situation.

The only Mississippi clinic with statewide locations staffed with Mississippi healthcare providers and 5-star reviews.
Starkville location. I wanted to go with a 4.9 only based on aesthetics... Needs plants, artwork to absorb sound, maybe some fragrances, background sounds/music... and I'm a man in my 60's, so you know you must need it!! LOL but still serious!!
FNP Felicia Smith is very kind and, she makes sure that you understand everything you need to know before you leave the building.
The office is clean and inviting the second you walk in. The 2 wonderful women who run it are absolutely kind, knowledgeable, patient, and welcoming. I already, after only 1 appointment, adore Pause Pain & Wellness. Thank you ladies both for everything you do!

One of the standout elements of my experience was the incredible staff, particularly Felicia Smith. Felicia has an extraordinary ability to make you feel at ease. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the medical cannabis process but also takes the time to genuinely listen to your concerns and needs. It’s clear that she is passionate about helping her patients live better, more pain-free lives. She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and never rushed through any part of the consultation. In fact, I left feeling empowered and confident about the next steps in my wellness journey.
The entire team at Pause Pain & Wellness embodies a holistic, patient-centered approach that I find so refreshing. It’s rare to find a healthcare facility where the staff is not only invested in your physical health but in your overall well-being. Everyone I encountered, from the receptionists to the medical professionals, treated me with respect, kindness, and professionalism. The clinic itself is bright, inviting, and designed to make you feel at home. The calm, soothing atmosphere makes it clear that the team is committed to creating a healing environment for their patients.
As someone who had been struggling with chronic pain and the side effects of traditional medications for years, I was initially apprehensive about exploring medical cannabis. However, the staff at Pause Pain & Wellness made the process seamless. They took the time to educate me on how cannabis could be a viable option for pain management, walking me through the various strains, dosage options, and potential effects. I felt fully supported in my decision to pursue this path, and it has absolutely changed my life. The results have been incredible, and I now experience relief from pain in a way I never thought possible.
Felicia Smith, in particular, deserves special recognition. Her guidance and compassion were invaluable during the entire process. She answered all of my questions (and trust me, I had plenty!) and ensured that I was comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. It’s clear that she truly cares about the people she serves, and her dedication to her patients is evident in every interaction. I felt like I was not just another patient on a list, but a person whose health and happiness truly mattered to her.
Beyond the medical side of things, I also want to mention how easy and stress-free the entire process is at Pause Pain & Wellness. The staff takes care of all the paperwork, assists with the application for a medical marijuana card, and walks you through the legalities and regulations in Mississippi. There’s no need to feel overwhelmed or confused—everyone here is there to guide you through it all with patience and understanding.
