Refer a Patient for Psychiatric Care
Same-week psychiatric intake for your clients and patients in Orlando — in person or by telehealth anywhere in Florida. We handle the medication; the therapy relationship stays yours.
Who We Partner With
Therapists & Counselors
When your client needs medication support alongside therapy, we provide the prescriber half of the partnership: psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and regular coordination with you.
Your client stays your client. We do not absorb therapy relationships — clients referred for medication management remain in therapy with you, and we reinforce that at every visit.
Primary Care Physicians
Complex psychiatric medication doesn't belong in a 15-minute visit. Refer patients whose depression, anxiety, ADHD, or bipolar disorder needs specialist titration, treatment-resistant cases, or diagnostic clarification.
With patient consent, you receive an intake summary and medication updates, so your record stays complete.
Student Health & Campus Counseling
Campus counseling centers face long psychiatric waitlists every semester. We offer same-week telehealth intake for students anywhere in Florida, with providers who specialize in young adults — ADHD, anxiety, and depression in college populations.
Telehealth-first works with class schedules, and most student insurance plans are in-network.
How Referrals Work
Same-Week Intake
Referred patients are typically seen within 3–5 business days — in person in Winter Park or by telehealth anywhere in Florida. Patients can also book directly online.
Notes Back to You
With patient consent, the referring provider receives an intake summary after the first visit and updates when medications change. Closed-loop, every time.
Evidence-Based Prescribing
So expectations are clear at referral time: we do not prescribe benzodiazepines, and we treat adults (18+). For anxiety we work with SSRIs, SNRIs, buspirone, hydroxyzine, and therapy coordination.
Three Ways to Refer

Give the patient our booking link
