Adult Psychiatry · Coconut Grove · Brickell · Doral
Board-certified psychiatric care for adults 18 and older — in person across Miami-Dade, or by secure video anywhere in Florida.
Finding a psychiatrist in Miami should not take months. Elevate Psychiatry is an adult outpatient practice built to shorten that gap.
Miami is a difficult city in which to access specialty psychiatric care. Demand is high, many practices maintain long waitlists, and a significant number of psychiatrists here do not take insurance at all. Adults frequently describe calling a list of numbers, leaving messages, and giving up somewhere around the fifth attempt — usually at the point when they were most motivated to get help.
Our practice is organized around removing that friction. We treat adults only, which keeps our clinical focus narrow and our expertise deep. We maintain three offices across Miami-Dade so that most patients are not crossing the county for a follow-up. And we offer secure video visits for anyone in Florida, which for many working adults is the difference between consistent treatment and treatment that quietly stops after two appointments.
Every patient is seen by a board-certified psychiatrist — a physician trained to diagnose psychiatric conditions, evaluate the medical contributors that often masquerade as them, and manage medication safely over time.
Common reasons Miami adults come to see us. This is not an exhaustive list — see our full what we treat section.
Persistent low mood, loss of interest, fatigue and hopelessness, including treatment-resistant depression.
Generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety and health-related worry.
Diagnostic clarification and long-term mood stabilization.
Evaluation and management for adults, including those diagnosed later in life.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, including intrusive thoughts and compulsions.
Post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms in adults.
Treatment is matched to diagnosis and history, not applied from a template.
A thorough diagnostic assessment covering symptoms, history, sleep, medical factors and prior treatment response.
Starting, adjusting, simplifying or safely tapering psychiatric medication, with ongoing monitoring.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression that has not responded adequately to medication. See TMS in Miami.
Advanced options for treatment-resistant depression, evaluated case by case.
Diagnostic review for adults who are unsure about a previous diagnosis or an existing medication regimen.
We work alongside therapists across Miami so medication and therapy pull in the same direction.

There is no clinical penalty for choosing video.
Research on telepsychiatry has consistently found outcomes comparable to in-person care for the conditions we most often treat, including depression, anxiety disorders and ADHD. What video changes is adherence: appointments that do not require crossing Miami traffic simply get kept more often.
Many of our patients do an initial in-person evaluation at one of our offices and then move to video for ongoing management, switching back when something warrants being seen face to face. Others are virtual throughout. If you are outside Miami-Dade, we see adults across the state — see online psychiatry in Florida.
Straight answers before you book.
Psychiatric coverage in Florida varies widely between plans, and the same insurer often treats psychiatry differently across its products. Rather than publish a list that may not apply to your specific plan, we would rather check it for you. Contact our office with your insurance information and we will confirm what your plan covers, what your responsibility looks like, and whether an out-of-network arrangement makes more sense.
If cost is your main concern, that is worth saying at the outset — it changes what we recommend, including visit frequency and whether generic medication options are appropriate.
Tell us briefly what is going on and whether you prefer in person or video. We will confirm insurance and scheduling.
A comprehensive psychiatric assessment with a board-certified psychiatrist — history, symptoms, sleep, medical context and goals.
You leave knowing the working diagnosis, the options, what any recommended medication does and what to watch for.
Follow-ups to track response and adjust. Prescriptions go electronically to your pharmacy.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who diagnose psychiatric conditions and prescribe medication; therapists provide talk therapy. If your symptoms are severe, persistent, physically disruptive, or you think medication may help, starting with a psychiatrist makes sense. Many adults benefit from both, and we routinely coordinate with therapists across Miami.
Both. We have offices in Coconut Grove, Brickell and Doral for in-person appointments, and we offer secure video visits for adults anywhere in Florida. Many patients do an in-person evaluation and then switch to video for follow-ups.
We work with a number of plans and also see patients privately. Coverage varies considerably by plan and product, so contact us with your insurance details and we will confirm exactly what applies before you book.
The initial psychiatric evaluation is substantially longer than a routine follow-up. It covers your full history, current symptoms, sleep, medical background, any past medications and what you want treatment to achieve. Follow-up visits are shorter and focus on response and adjustment.
Sometimes, but not automatically. Medication is prescribed when it is clinically appropriate after a proper evaluation. Some adults leave the first appointment with a prescription, others with a diagnostic plan, lab work or a referral first.
No. Elevate Psychiatry treats adults 18 and older only.
