Telehealth Psychiatry for Davie patients

Clinical FAQ
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
What if my kids are home in Davie?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
Does insurance cover telehealth?
Often; verify. Coverage is not guaranteed by this page.
How far are you from NSU?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from Nova Southeastern University's main campus, making us a convenient option for students seeking psychiatric care.
Do you treat college students from Davie?
Absolutely. We work with many college-age patients on ADHD management, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders common in academic settings.
