Psychiatry · Sun City Center, FL
Trauma-informed psychiatric evaluations and medication plans with regular check-ins, from our office on Sun City Center Plaza.
Psychiatric care is the medical side of mental health: diagnosis, treatment and adjusting that treatment over time. Your plan can draw on any of these five services.
A full assessment of your symptoms, history and goals, done with a trauma-informed approach so you set the pace for what you share.
A plan built for you, with regular check-ins to review how a medication is working and adjust it when needed.
Long-acting injectable medications for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other conditions where steady treatment matters.
An FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for adults whose depression has not improved with other antidepressants.
A fresh, honest look at a diagnosis or medication plan, given with kindness and understanding.
Medication Management
We start from your evaluation, explain why a medication fits your symptoms, and set up regular check-ins to track what changes. At each check-in we review:
For schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and similar conditions, a long-acting injectable can replace daily pills with a dose given at set intervals.

When Depression Has Not Responded

Your evaluation and treatment history tell us whether it is worth considering.
Send a confidential message through our website and a team member will contact you soon.
We review your symptoms, history, current medications and goals at a pace that feels safe.
You leave knowing what we found and what we recommend, in plain language you helped shape.
Regular check-ins track your progress, and the plan changes as you do.
Stay calm, describe specific changes you have noticed rather than labels, and offer practical help, such as finding a provider or driving them to a first visit. Pressure tends to push people away, so keep the conversation open.
Our consultation and support services offer guidance and a fresh perspective on the next step.
Psychiatric care is scheduled care, not emergency care.
We talk through your symptoms, health and family history, past treatment and current medications. We use a trauma-informed approach, so you choose how much to share and when. The visit ends with our impression of what is going on and a proposed plan you help shape.
No. Psychiatric care focuses on diagnosis and medical treatment such as medication, while therapy works through structured conversation. Many people benefit from both, and we can talk through how they fit together at your evaluation.
It depends on your plan. Check-ins are usually closer together while a medication is started or adjusted, then spaced out once things are stable.
Yes. We offer psychiatric consultations and second opinions for people who want a fresh look at a diagnosis or a medication plan. We review what you have tried and give an honest view of your options.
Coverage depends on your plan. Share your insurance details when you reach out, and our team will go over what to expect before your first visit.
Do not stop or change a dose on your own, because some medications need to be tapered. Let us know what has changed, and we will review the dose, timing and other options at a check-in.
Our office is at 1647 Sun City Center Plaza, Sun City Center, FL 33573. We also see patients from Riverview, Ruskin, Wimauma, Parrish, Palmetto, Lithia, Plant City and across Greater Tampa Bay.
