Functional telepsych: we can order labs to a local draw site
You must be physically in Florida at the time of the visit. Crossing a state line pauses prescribing.
What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Online mood-disorder care still screens mixed features.
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
What if my kids are home in Weston?
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.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Do you offer discreet telehealth for Weston patients?
Yes. Many Weston patients prefer our secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth option for appointments from the privacy of their home or office.
Can you help with executive performance and focus issues?
Absolutely. We specialize in ADHD evaluations, cognitive performance optimization, and medication management for adults who need to perform at a high level.

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. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
