Psychiatry · Serving Fishhawk, FL
Evaluations, medication management and SPRAVATO® with Emma Armand, PMHNP-BC, at our Sun City Center office, about half an hour south of Fishhawk.
Psychiatry is the medical side of mental health care: finding what drives your symptoms, deciding whether medication belongs in your plan and adjusting it as you improve. Patients from Fishhawk can use any of the five services below, all under one roof.
A thorough look at your symptoms, history and goals, done in a trauma-informed way so nothing feels rushed or forced.
A plan built around you, with regular check-ins to see what is working and change what is not.
An FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression, given under medical supervision.
Medication delivered by injection that lasts for weeks, used for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other conditions.
An honest, fresh perspective on a diagnosis or treatment plan, given with kindness and understanding.
Your Provider
Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner · Founder
Emma leads your evaluation, writes your prescriptions and reviews your progress at each check-in. Because one provider follows your whole history, a change to your plan builds on what she has already seen work for you.
She founded our practice on a simple belief: every patient deserves to feel truly heard, and to get honest, evidence-based answers.
What We Treat
We care for adults whose symptoms get in the way of daily life. Your plan comes from your evaluation, not from a label alone.
Persistent sadness, emptiness or lost interest. SPRAVATO® is an option when antidepressants have fallen short.
Ongoing worry, panic or physical tension that is hard to switch off.
Trouble with focus, organization or restlessness that affects your day.
Nightmares, flashbacks or feeling constantly on edge after a hard experience.
Unwanted thoughts and repeated rituals that take up time and energy.
Ongoing trouble falling or staying asleep, often linked to mood or stress.
Cycles of high and low mood, with injectable options for steadier treatment.
Long-term care that can include long-acting injectables in place of daily pills.

A psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner evaluates symptoms, makes a diagnosis, prescribes psychiatric medication and manages treatment over time. Emma Armand holds board certification as a PMHNP. She handles your care from the first evaluation through every follow-up.
We talk through what you are experiencing, your health and treatment history, and what you want to change. The evaluation is trauma-informed, so you decide how much to share and when. You leave knowing what we found and the options we recommend.
Follow-ups are set by your plan. Visits are usually closer together while a new medication is being started or adjusted, then spaced out once things are steady. We keep regular check-ins so changes happen when you need them.
SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved esketamine nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. That usually means depression that has not improved enough after trying antidepressants. We assess whether it fits your history before any treatment is planned.
