Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
Can North Miami Beach residents use your Hollywood office?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from North Miami Beach via I-95. We also offer telehealth for routine medication management and follow-up appointments.
Do you understand immigration-related mental health challenges?
Yes. We see many patients dealing with adjustment stress, anxiety related to immigration experiences, and intergenerational trauma. Our evaluations consider these cultural and social factors alongside clinical symptoms.

Follow-up medication management for a known patient in Florida.
Not a replacement for psychotherapy groups or IOP.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness.
