How soon can I get an appointment?

Do you offer telehealth appointments?

Do you accept my insurance?

Yes! We are doing our best to accept a variety of mental health insurance. This is not always easy for many reasons, but Dr. Carrie is currently participating in-network with Cigna, Evernorth, Aetna, Meritain, and Tricare Military insurances. Each month we are working to add more and be able to accept the largest health insurance companies in Florida. Please call our office at 954-559-2936 for the most up-to-date information.

What is the cost of an initial consultation and follow-up visits?

For self-pay psychiatry visits with a Medical Doctor, if you do not have insurance or if we do not accept insurance, the cost is $350 for the first visit, and $175 for follow-up visits.

You may want to keep in mind that since the psychiatrists main role is to manage your medications, once you are stable and a medication is working well for you, typically you will only see the psychiatrist every 2 to 3 months.

If you are also in psychotherapy, then your psychotherapist is the mental health provider you will see more often (every week or every two weeks). We can assist you in finding a psychotherapist who accepts your mental health insurance.

Privacy and confidentiality are essential in psychiatry: "How do you protect patient confidentiality?

In psychiatry, patient confidentiality is safeguarded through strict adherence to professional ethics and legal regulations. Measures to protect confidentiality include maintaining secure medical records, limiting access to authorized personnel only, and ensuring that patient information is not disclosed without consent except in specific circumstances mandated by law. These safeguards help create a safe and private environment for patients to discuss their mental health concerns with their psychiatrist.

In Dr. Carrie's Own Words:

As a Psychiatrist, what I bring to my practice is a profound sense of empathy and understanding. My own journey through the challenges of depression, which began during my teenage years, has given me a unique perspective on the struggles individuals face with their mental health. Reflecting on my own life, I recognize the missed opportunities and the social hesitations I experienced due to untreated depression.

I am grateful to be in a much healthier and happier place in my life today, and I attribute part of this transformation to my regular meditation practice. It is this personal growth and recovery that fuels my passion for helping others on their journey toward a more meaningful and joyful existence.

In my role as a Psychiatrist, I have the privilege of assisting individuals in their path to recovery and guiding them towards rediscovering a genuine enthusiasm for life.
