Telehealth psychiatry, anywhere in Florida
You don't have to live on the Panhandle to be our patient. If you're physically located in Florida, you can see a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner by secure video: evaluation, diagnosis, prescribing, and follow-up included.

Same provider every visit
How it works
Four steps from “I should probably talk to someone” to seen
-
Send a request
Send a request through the secure form and we'll get back to you with times. Every visit is scheduled by our office, so nothing is booked without a person looking at it.
-
Complete intake in SimplePractice
Consent forms, history, and insurance details are handled online before your appointment, so your visit is spent talking rather than filling out clipboards.
-
Join your 60-minute evaluation
Click the link from your phone, tablet, or laptop. We cover your history, current symptoms, what's already been tried, and what you want to be different.
-
Get a plan and keep going
Prescriptions go electronically to the pharmacy you choose. Follow-ups run 20–30 minutes, usually every 2–4 weeks at first, then further apart as things stabilize.

Coverage
Telehealth and your insurance
Accepted plans differ between our Navarre and Crestview offices. Check the page for the office you'll be seen at.
Most major carriers cover telehealth psychiatry at the same rate as an in-office visit. Our Navarre office accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, UMR, VA CCN, Ascension Smart Health, Curative, and CHAMPVA, and sees TRICARE patients as an out-of-network provider.
Paying privately? Self-pay options are available for evaluations, follow-ups and extended sessions, billed the same as in-person care, with superbills available for out-of-network reimbursement. Current rates are provided when you book.
Not all plans cover mental health services. Please check with your insurance provider for coverage and any out-of-pocket costs.
What you'll need
- A phone, tablet, or laptop with a camera
- A private place to sit for the appointment
- A physical location inside Florida during the visit
- Your pharmacy's name and address

Common questions
Florida telehealth FAQ
Do I have to live in Florida to be seen?
You need to be physically located in Florida at the time of your appointment. That's how state licensure works. Your permanent address can be elsewhere. Faiza is also licensed in Iowa, so visits from there are possible too.
Can medication be prescribed over telehealth?
Yes. Most psychiatric medications can be prescribed and managed by video and sent electronically to your pharmacy. Certain controlled substances carry extra requirements under state and federal rules, and may require an in-person visit or additional monitoring. We'll tell you upfront if that applies to you.
Is a video visit really as good as being in the room?
For outpatient psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and talk therapy, research has consistently found telehealth outcomes comparable to in-person care. What it doesn't replace is a physical exam, lab draws, or emergency care. We'll coordinate those locally when they're needed.
Is it private?
Visits run on a HIPAA-compliant platform through SimplePractice. Sessions are not recorded. Find a spot where you won't be overheard: a bedroom, a parked car, and a closed office door all work fine.
What if I have an emergency between visits?
Telehealth is not for emergencies. If you're in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or dial 911. See our crisis and local resources page for more.
