You’ll receive a clear cost estimate before scheduling, so there are no surprises moving forward.

More Information →Why You See a Psychiatric Provider First
At Healing Psychiatry of Florida, every new patient meets with a psychiatric nurse practitioner before starting therapy. This comprehensive approach ensures we identify all factors affecting your mental health, not just psychological ones.
What the Initial Psychiatric Evaluation Covers
- Complete medical history review
- Current medications and supplements that might affect mood or cognition
- Previous mental health treatment and what worked or didn’t work for you
- Family history of mental health conditions
- Current symptoms and their impact on daily functioning
- Lifestyle factors
Why This Matters for Your Therapy
Physical health conditions frequently present as mental health symptoms. Anemia can cause fatigue that looks like depression. Thyroid disorders produce anxiety symptoms. Sleep apnea affects concentration in ways that mimic ADHD.
Your initial psychiatric evaluation identifies whether medical factors contribute to your symptoms. This comprehensive assessment guides both your therapy approach and determines whether medication management alongside therapy would benefit your treatment.
When therapy alone is not enough, we connect you with the right therapist. When both therapy and medication management support better outcomes, your therapist and psychiatric provider collaborate on your care plan.
This coordinated approach produces better results than therapy alone when underlying medical factors affect your mental health.
Our Therapy Approach: Evidence-Based Modalities
Our licensed therapists use proven treatment approaches tailored to your specific concerns. Below are the primary therapy modalities we provide.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
How CBT Works:
CBT helps you identify thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress
and problematic behaviors. This structured approach teaches practical skills
to challenge unhelpful thoughts and change behavioral responses.
What CBT Addresses:
• Anxiety disorders (generalized, social, panic)
• Depression and mood disturbances
• OCD and related conditions
• Sleep problems linked to racing thoughts
• Stress management challenges
What to Expect:
Sessions focus on current challenges rather than an extensive review of your past.
Your therapist assigns between-session exercises to practice new skills.
Most patients notice improvement within 8–12 weeks.
EMDR Therapy
How EMDR Works:
EMDR helps your brain process traumatic memories that remain “stuck”
in the nervous system. Bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping,
or audio tones) allows memories to be reprocessed in adaptive ways.
What EMDR Addresses:
• PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
• Childhood abuse or neglect
• Disturbing life events that still affect you
• Panic attacks tied to past experiences
• Complex trauma from multiple incidents
What to Expect:
EMDR requires specialized training and preparation.
Many patients experience significant symptom reduction within
6–12 sessions, though complex trauma may require longer care.
Trauma-Informed Therapy
How Trauma-Informed Therapy Works:
This approach recognizes how past trauma influences present-day emotions,
behaviors, and relationships. Therapists prioritize safety, trust,
and emotional regulation within the therapeutic relationship.
What It Addresses:
• Repetitive or destructive relationship patterns
• Difficulty trusting others or forming close connections
• Emotional regulation challenges
• Hypervigilance or constant sense of threat
• Shame, self-blame, or negative self-perception
What to Expect:
Treatment moves at your pace—never forcing discussion before you’re ready.
Early sessions focus on coping skills and stability.
This approach often complements CBT or EMDR.

Frequently Asked Questions About Psychiatric Care in Orlando
How quickly can I start therapy?
Most new patients complete their initial psychiatric evaluation within 3–5 days, followed by their first therapy session the following week.
The total time from initial contact to starting therapy is typically 1–2 weeks.
Do I need medication to receive therapy services?
No. Many patients receive therapy alone without medication management.
Your initial psychiatric evaluation helps determine whether therapy alone meets your needs or whether combined treatment may produce better outcomes for your specific situation.
Can I choose my therapist?
We match you with a therapist whose clinical approach and specialties align with your needs.
If your assigned therapist isn’t the right fit after your first few sessions, we’ll connect you with another therapist in our practice at no additional charge.
How long does therapy take?
Treatment length varies based on your concerns and goals.
Some patients notice significant improvement within 8–12 weeks, while others benefit from longer-term therapy, especially when addressing complex trauma or long-standing patterns.
Your therapist will discuss expected timelines during your first session.
What’s the difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. Therapists, including licensed mental health counselors, provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication.
At Healing Psychiatry of Florida, psychiatric nurse practitioners conduct medical evaluations and manage medications, while licensed therapists provide counseling.
Do you offer telehealth therapy?
Yes. Telehealth therapy appointments are available to Florida residents who cannot visit our offices in person.
Virtual sessions meet the same clinical standards as in-person therapy.
Can my therapist write a letter of accommodation for the workplace?
No. We do not provide FMLA documentation, disability claim paperwork, or workplace accommodation letters.
Our practice focuses on clinical treatment rather than administrative or legal documentation.
