Specialties
Ceriva Psychiatry, PLLC provides comprehensive outpatient psychiatric evaluation and medication management through secure telehealth for adults in Florida.
We specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, sleep concerns, and mood changes. Whether symptoms are recent or long-standing, my goal is to help you understand what is happening and create a clear, practical plan forward.
Appointments are thoughtful and focused. You will have space to talk openly about what you are experiencing without feeling rushed. We review your history carefully, discuss treatment options in plain language, and make collaborative decisions about medication and next steps. Follow-up visits are centered on progress, adjustment, and real-life improvement.
Many patients appreciate having a provider who listens closely, explains things clearly, and offers steady, dependable care. If you are looking for respectful, straightforward psychiatric support with a calm and personalized approach, I invite you to schedule a consultation and take the next step toward feeling better.
History
Established in 2025.
Ceriva Psychiatry was founded after years of experience in outpatient and hospital medicine. I became a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner in 2017 and later earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and board certification as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I began working in hospital medicine in 2020, caring for patients with complex conditions.
Over time, I saw how anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders were affecting overall health. Many patients were struggling silently. Supporting them required more than treating physical symptoms. It required presence, compassion, and a deeper commitment to mental health care.
Today, I combine medical and psychiatric training to treat the whole person with dignity and respect. My approach is grounded in evidence-based care, thoughtful medication management, and psychotherapy when appropriate. I believe healing involves clarity, responsibility, hope, and for many, faith and personal values that guide their journey.
