Psychiatry · Serving Boyette, FL
Evaluations, medication management and SPRAVATO® with Emma Armand, PMHNP-BC, at our Sun City Center office south of Boyette.
Psychiatry treats mental health as health: we identify what is driving your symptoms, choose a treatment with you and refine it as you improve. Patients who drive in from Boyette use five parts of our care.
A full, unhurried review of symptoms, history and goals, run in a trauma-informed way so you control the pace.
A medication plan written for you, with regular check-ins to fine-tune the dose or change course.
An FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression, used in our office under medical supervision.
Medication given as an injection that works for weeks, for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other conditions that need steady dosing.
A fresh, honest look at a diagnosis or treatment plan, offered with kindness and without judgment.
Your Provider
Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner · Founder
Emma performs your evaluation, prescribes your medication and sees you at every follow-up. You never retell your history to a new face, and changes to your plan come from someone who already knows how you have responded.
She founded our practice so every patient feels truly heard, and she pairs honest guidance with evidence-based care.
What We Treat
We treat adults whose symptoms affect daily life. The plan comes from your evaluation, not from the label alone.
Sadness, numbness or lost interest that lingers. SPRAVATO® is an option when antidepressants have not been enough.
Constant worry, panic attacks or tension that crowds out rest.
Focus, follow-through and restlessness that get in the way.
Flashbacks, nightmares or a sense of always being on guard.
Intrusive thoughts and repeated rituals that eat up time.
Nights of poor sleep, often tied to mood or anxiety.
Shifts between highs and lows, with injectable options for steadier treatment.
Ongoing care that can include long-acting injectables in place of daily pills.
Treatment Options
We offer all three in one office, so your plan can move from one to another without changing providers.
| Option | How It Is Taken | Often Used For | What It Asks of You |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oral Medication | Pills or capsules at home, on the schedule we set together | Depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, insomnia, bipolar disorder and more | A daily routine and regular check-ins to adjust the dose |
| Long-Acting Injectable | An injection in our office that releases medication over weeks | Schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other conditions where steady levels matter | Return visits for each dose in place of daily pills |
| SPRAVATO® (Esketamine) | An FDA-approved nasal spray you use in our office under medical supervision | Adults with treatment-resistant depression | Scheduled in-office sessions and a ride home on treatment days |
Your evaluation decides which path fits. Many patients start with oral medication and only discuss injectables or SPRAVATO® when that has not been enough.

Psychiatric care works best with steady follow-ups, and a predictable drive makes those easier to keep. We also see patients from across Greater Tampa Bay.
What you pay depends on your insurance and the treatments in your plan. Tell us your coverage when you get in touch, and our team will explain how it applies before your first visit.
For SPRAVATO®, many treatment centers are in-network with Medicare and major commercial insurers, and we review your benefits with you before sessions begin.
We provide scheduled outpatient care, not emergency services. Do not wait for an appointment in a crisis.
