Our Story
Psychiatry Telemed was founded by psychiatric professionals who had witnessed, from inside the traditional healthcare system, the profound human cost of inaccessible mental healthcare. Patients waiting months for appointments. Families driving hours for a 15-minute medication check. Insurance companies denying coverage for conditions that demanded urgent attention.
The COVID-19 pandemic provided empirical confirmation of what these founders already knew: telepsychiatry works. When most practices reverted to office-based care after restrictions lifted, Psychiatry Telemed chose to build the model the pandemic had proven — permanent, patient-centered, virtual-first psychiatric care available to every Florida resident. Research from the National Institute of Mental Health confirms that telepsychiatry produces outcomes equivalent to in-person care.
We exist to deliver expert, accessible virtual psychiatric care with empathy, innovation, and integrity — empowering individuals and families across Florida to achieve lasting mental wellness without the barriers of traditional healthcare.
Our Vision
A future where high-quality mental healthcare is accessible, affordable, and stigma-free for everyone — no matter where they live. The American Psychiatric Association has endorsed telepsychiatry as an effective care delivery model. We are putting that model to work for every Florida resident.
What Makes Us Different
Florida is home to over 22 million residents and faces one of the most acute psychiatric provider shortages in the United States. Mental Health America ranks Florida among the lowest-performing states for mental health access, with high rates of adults experiencing mental illness who go untreated. We were built to close that gap.
Accessibility
Care within 1–3 days. Statewide virtual reach. Transparent cash-pay pricing. No insurance gatekeeping.
Integrity
Honest pricing. Evidence-based treatment only. No billing surprises. No upselling unproven interventions.
Excellence
Board-certified providers only. 60-minute initial evaluations. Monthly medication monitoring with the same psychiatrist.
Empathy
Every patient interaction treats the human before the diagnosis. Judgment-free. Unhurried. Culturally aware.
Innovation
Telehealth-first by design. Technology as an access enabler, not an afterthought. HIPAA-compliant video care.
Continuity
Same provider, every visit. Therapeutic relationships are the foundation of effective psychiatric care.
Board-Certified Expertise
Every Psychiatry Telemed provider is a board-certified psychiatrist licensed in the state of Florida — credentialed by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN), the gold standard for psychiatric expertise. Not a chatbot. Not a physician assistant. Not a nurse hotline.
Our providers specialize across the full lifespan — child and adolescent psychiatry (ages 6–17), adult psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry, women's mental health, addiction psychiatry, and military/first responder medical waivers. This breadth of expertise under one virtual roof is rare in the Florida market.
Who We Serve
We serve individuals and families across all of Florida — from Miami to Jacksonville, Tampa to Tallahassee, and every community in between. Our patients include working professionals, parents seeking ADHD evaluation for their child, new mothers experiencing postpartum depression, seniors managing late-life mood disorders, veterans needing psychiatric medical waivers, and anyone who has been told "the next available appointment is in two months."
Our Approach to Care
Your first appointment is a comprehensive 60-minute psychiatric evaluation — not a rushed intake form. Your psychiatrist will explore your personal history, current symptoms, family mental health background, and life circumstances to build a complete clinical picture. You'll leave with a working diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan, and — if clinically appropriate — a prescription sent to your pharmacy the same day.
From there, monthly 30-minute medication management follow-ups ensure your treatment is actively monitored and refined. At $299 for your initial evaluation and $149 follow-ups, our pricing is transparent and predictable. We also provide detailed superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
We treat the full spectrum of psychiatric conditions — anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, schizophrenia, postpartum depression, substance use disorders, and dozens more.
The Telehealth Advantage
Telepsychiatry is not a compromise — it is an intentional model built to deliver expert psychiatric care wherever you are in Florida. Multiple peer-reviewed studies and the American Psychiatric Association confirm that virtual psychiatric care produces clinical outcomes equivalent to in-person treatment for anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and bipolar disorder.
For many patients, the telehealth format is actually preferable: patients with agoraphobia receive care without triggering their symptoms, working parents attend appointments during lunch breaks, rural Floridians no longer drive two hours each way, and veterans access care privately without entering a mental health facility.
Privacy by Design
Mental healthcare should be private. With Psychiatry Telemed, there are no waiting rooms, no insurance EOB sent to your home, and no geographic markers connecting you to a psychiatric office. All care is delivered through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform that protects your privacy completely. Review our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices.
Transparent, Honest Pricing
Your initial 60-minute psychiatric evaluation is $299. Monthly 30-minute medication management follow-ups are $149. No surprise fees, no copay confusion, no insurance company deciding whether your diagnosis qualifies. We also provide detailed superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. Full pricing and payment details.
